Remember the Slashdot Effect? I'm not sure if it lives up to its expectations this time ;-)

  Remember Slashdot?

    I miss tags such as "whatcouldpossiblygowrong" and "suddenoutbreakofcommonsense", there have been articles on HN where these tags could have applied as well

        Honestly I still think Slashdot's way of flavoring up/down votes is better than anything else I've seen.

          I think requiring a reason/explanation probably discourages voting simply based on agreement and disagreement and improves the signal a numeric score provides. I find that missing from Reddit-alikes now. +1 insightful
