Would not it be better not to play nanny and let readers decide for themselves?
- CivBase 6y agoYou could certainly take that approach, but then why have a voting system at all? My understanding is that the voting system for HN comments is intended to promote the best comments to the top.
- FpUser 6y agoOk, here comes timeless saying: The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Most voted and the best can be two different things.
- CivBase 6y agoI completely agree. Comment voting has plenty of problems. However, I haven't found or thought of a better solution so I try to make do with what we have.
