I don't know if this is a bug or a feature ... but, the edit button is no longer present on the main page. I have to click 'link', and then 'edit' is available.
I was just going to edit my comment with a link to searchyc.com. It tells me, for example, that my average comment score is ~4, but that my last few comments have been unusually unpopular (or at least unnoticed), which I assume drove me below the threshold. Maybe it would be nice to take the maximum of a user's all time average and average of the last 50 comments - that way users who have historically made positive contributions are given a little leeway to voice unpopular/controversial opinions.
EDIT: Odd, now the edit link is back. Maybe a weird effect of caching or something.
