I wish people wouldn't downvote others for simply reporting on what they see. It's not your fault Fickr is live editing their page.

  And Internet forum votes aren't personal. Karma doesn't matter. We downvote bad information, period.

    On Reddit, sure. HN, like StackOverflow, uses it to decide what level of participation you're allowed to have.
    • tomasien 13y ago
      Only essentially at levels that are extraordinarily achievable with participation. Really, only at the 500 level does it matter.

        Wait, what? I don't post a lot on HN, what do you get at the 500 point level..?

          The ability to downvote.
