Perhaps splitting karma between submitters until the item reaches the first page, then. I know I've never managed to be the first submitter of an interesting link; there's always somebody that saw it before me. So normally I don't even think of posting a link.

(Of course, lately, I get the vast majority of my interesting reading from here anyway, but still...)

I don't blame you for bot-submitting Jacques' stuff. His posts are always good and - after all - always hit first page at a dead run. People here do actually find them interesting.




That wouldn't really work, since an article can pop with 4 upvotes.


Well, it would split the initial karma four ways, then. It would be better than not splitting.
