How To Rank Comments on a Thread?

Before ranking a comment, you need to check thread age. The strategy changes based on that.

Step 1: Check if the thread is new or old

New thread: less than 72 hours old

Old thread: more than 72 hours old

Use the correct strategy below.

If the thread is new (under 72 hours)

You can add upvotes immediately.

Fast upvotes are fine

No drip-feeding needed

Early upvotes help the comment rank faster
