- jacquesm 9y agoI suspect my comments in the thread about the Google shooting gained me a fresh batch of enemies.
- saturationPoint 9y agoIf you look at the numbers for this site, these days, HN is too popular for it's own good, and it's getting really noisy. On the front page right now, there are lots of garbage articles, with 500+ upvotes and comments, and any one of them handily enables new downvoters. Way more people can downvote now, than ever before, and users relish new power. Having a respectful honor system, and some voting ring detection is great, but the truth is, there are a lot more shitty people on this site. What to do about that?
- jessaustin 9y agoI'm not saying you're wrong, but would you mind posting that from your non-greenbean account? I won't downvote you! It's just fake internet points anyway; why worry? I get downvoted every day I post. (Not every item I post.) Sometimes there is a lesson to be learned, sometimes there isn't.
