- jrockway 16y agoJokes are OK, but not when they're not even a little amusing.
- davi 16y agoNo, there's a third choice. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1777665 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1777665 [edit: An idea which I wouldn't know about if I hadn't seen it here. For me, HN still is good enough to spend time with. But it has grown less stringent about humor and links to images, which I think reduces S/N.]
- kunley 16y agoNo. The solution is to allow downvoting the original submissions, not only the comments. I see really crappy submissions occasionally. I just don't want them to show and I'd like their authors to refine their submitting strategy, so I just want to downvote. And the argument that I can upvote other stories instead is flawed - it'd require me to be here all the time, which is an evil requirement.
