Down-votes should mean "this comment doesn't contribute in good faith," or "this is a distraction".
How something could be well utilized, versus how it is utilized, may be two different things.
- greggman3 6y agoAccording to Dang, downvotes on HN are for disagreeing with ideas and opinions.
- mrslave 6y agoInteresting. There's an obvious conflict of interest in reducing another user's karma risks their ability to also downvote. (Of course, just because it's imperfect doesn't mean it's a bad system.) If this is the intended usage then perhaps it would be fair to expand downvoting rights to other users?
