alt Hacker Newshaha, no worries.
> what are you submission habits? Do you just submit links you find interesting often?
Pretty much. I will often email myself links I think might be interesting, then batch up submissions. I also like to highlight friends' posts.
> And does the karma rewards factor into your routine submissions?
It's always fun to get karma, but I like the fact I can call attention to someone or something that deserves it more.
I also wrote and talked about my thoughts on HN and how to be a good community member a bit more:

Darn, I really thought submission rates were the lowest hanging fruit for bot detection, and it doesn't appear this is the case.
Thanks for commenting so I could see this.
For what it's worth, penalizing submission rates is not the default in the plugin itself, that's just for the demo. And also, in my testing, HN at large has "high trust" practically everywhere. My own account is consistently one of the lowest scoring that I come across, ironically. So perhaps this plugin isn't as useful as I had hoped.
