- InclinedPlane 16y agoI think he's looking for traffic and for participation. Have a better suggestion? Post it, you don't even need an account.
- kloc 16y agoI was just kidding. I guess was not obvious from couple of smileys. I have a huge respect the SO folks and blogs they write. Have learned great deal by just reading there blog. Thanks for downvoting though!!.
- InclinedPlane 16y ago'twasn't me, I rarely downvote.
- Locke1689 16y agoI think HN may be getting a little more reactionary -- both more quick to upvote and more quick to downvote. I've noticed that some of my comments get far more upvotes then they're worth and also some unexplainable downvotes. This comment(http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1695010 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1695010), for example, seems on-topic but was downvoted pretty quickly.
- InclinedPlane 16y agoI've noticed something like that recently, although I hesitate to call it a trend from just a few observations. I suspect some people upvote/downvote based on personal feelings alone, or whether they agree/disagree with a post. I prefer to be a little more disciplined with my voting. I like the way stackexchange et al works in this regard, where negative votes have a cost to the voter and voting is rate limited (everyone has a maximum number of votes per day), this ensures that most voting is taken seriously.
