Slashdot has had this for over 10 years, I don't think it adds much value. Well, you can easily find the '+5, Funny' comments, which is good; but '+5, insightful' or '+5, interesting' becomes meaningless quite soon (maybe I'm missing the nuances of the system, I've never moderated or meta-moderated - ironically, mostly because the whole system seems so complex that I never bothered to get to know it).
- stewbrew 16y agoI wasn't aiming at having a comment be tagged as funny or whatever. It was just supposed to tell people that they shouldn't click on on the downvote button because they disagree with the conclusion of a perfectly well argumented comment -- which is what downvotes mean, e.g., on reddit. That's why I suggested to replace the downvote arrow with a few links/buttons.
