I suggest that discussion about the idea itself is placed under this comment, to avoid cluttering the main thread where people publish commitments.
Several people have now used this to commit to doing something others can benefit from, like LW posts. I suggest an alternative method: when a user commits to doing something, everyone who is interested in that thing being done will upvote that comment. However, if the task is not complete by the deadline, everyone who upvoted commits to coming back and downvoting the comment instead.
This way, people can judge whether the community is interested in their post, and the karma being gained or lost is proportional to the amount of interest. Also, upvoting and then downvoting effectively doubles the amount of karma at stake.
I was thinking about doing this with the thread as well but wasn't quite sure how. I believe your system will work, I'm editing the post to include your comment.
Do we think everyone who cares enough about karma for this to work reads the discussion section? Would more people use it if it was posted to the main page?
