I mean HN the community rather than HN the website (As in, every time I've seen a meta-discussion about the HN voting system, something along those lines has been mentioned; though I guess that's more "culture" than "policy")
- striking 11y agoPeople have asked for discussion rather than down votes when they know a point they've written is controversial. But that's for very few posts.
- dang 11y agoThat view isn't HN's culture. Yes it always gets mentioned, but so does the opposite view. The community is divided. To the extent that HN itself has a policy it was set years ago by pg saying that downvoting for disagreement is ok.
- Shish2k 11y ago> pg saying that downvoting for disagreement is ok. I'm surprised I've not heard that before; but either way, I guess I stand thoroughly corrected, and will know better in future. Thank you for replying to explain my error and not just downvoting :)
