I took the stance that downvoting for disagreement was not OK on HN. dang replied to me, saying that it was allowed. (Though perhaps not ideal? I don't remember - it's been a while. Also, his stance may have changed since.)
- CamperBob2 3y agoThe best solution would be for HN to allow users to opt out of the karma system altogether. Your account would still have a karma and your comments would still be scored, but you couldn't see your own karma or comment scores. You could still upvote, perhaps, but not downvote. And you wouldn't have to put up with the asinine, counterproductive contrast-reduction effect, although you would still have the showdead and vouch options. I'd check that box in a heartbeat.
- sokoloff 3y agoAdd this to stylus (or other per-site CSS modifying extension): @-moz-document domain("news.ycombinator.com") { [title=downvote] { display: none } [title=upvote] { display: none } [id=karma] { display: none } [class=score] { display: none } } That still lets you see that karma exists (and its value) on a user page (including your own). Those trs didn't have class or id info to let me easily hide them. (Obviously, don't include the "hide the upvote element" if you want to still be able to upvote content.)
- qup 3y agoWould you see comments weighted by votes? Is this some kind of emotional response you're having to seeing votes? I don't understand how it would improve the experience.
