I’m relatively new, and I’m not sure how I feel about downvotes yet. I might prefer a system of upvotes-only, with the option to flag a post for review if it violates the forum rules. I like not yet having the option to downvote.
With book reviews I tend to only leave a high mark for a book I am grateful for, or nothing for a book that didn’t resonate, for it might be helpful to someone else. Who am I to judge? Critical reviews carry more water as the readers know the reviewer more.
Since I don’t much know the value of HN points I don’t much care yet. I might be okay with hiding them altogether, except they are a useful indicator about an active discussion.
