Every single one of the guidelines is there for a reason. In this case, like the guidelines say, complaining about voting makes for boring reading, adds no value, and actively makes HN worse - as do comments like your reply. Interesting and useful reading: the first two paragraphs of your original comment. Boring reading that detracts from the HN experience: > Edit: I will never understand people that downvote a warning like this. But HN, you do you, I have karma to burn and if this warning helps one other person I’ll consider it worth it. > ah yes, there's always that stickler for the "rules." What would we ever do without that person chiming in.
