Maybe the solution is to let each user choose how articles / comments are ranked. A PHP programmer will just have different interests from someone who has started three companies or who has written a petabyte sort.
This is all written in lisp right? Maybe advanced users could contribute ranking schemes and people could try them out.
Separately: I'd love to see a ratio of points given to points received. And a separate count of total downvotes.

- paulsutter 15y agoEven within a given discussion on mongoDB for example, there are just different levels of expertise with system internals. For example: Upvotes and downvotes could flow through all the posts like a pagerank. So people who like "mongodb good!" comments can see those, people who like "mongodb bad!" comments can see those, and I can see posts that objectively discuss the strengths and weaknesses of mongodb.
