FYI, clicking a username tells you have much karma someone else has.
For example, you have 4,258 karma: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=stronglikedan

I think the implication is that you don't know how many accounts into HN someone is.
For example, I could make a burner and appear to have 0 karma, but still have however much I've got on this account - much like sveno appears to have done.
And you only have 1 karma, so you're not qualified to say what you said in your previous post. Of course, my point is that I know how much karma you have, as much as you know how much karma any other person has, which is...you don't. And I've been here long enough to know that your original comment is getting downvoted, because it's largely full of false statements. Sure, you can cherry pick a few examples here and there, as you could on any site, but to say that is is HN's "biggest problem" is demonstrably false.
