Well I didn't copy and paste the same comment all over, I just posted this link once. The comment I linked was also not higher ranked when I commented, as I commented right around when the original post was made. Every comment in the thread was still getting shuffled around due to upvotes and nothing was stable.

In the future how do you suggest I handle this?



Your comment would have been better received if it had any explanation as to why it was there, like

"someone else in this thread said that they know some slack employees and it's true: <link> "

that way people scanning know what the link is and why it's there.


Yes, this would probably have been better recieved.

But it's only a few downvotes, and I think that total downvote count effect is limited to only a few points per post? So don't sweat it.
