I like the lack of comment scores on HN. I don't even want to see my own scores or usernames.
Personally, I tend to associate discussion scores and counters with competitive/adversarial commenting, "bandwagoning" and "crowd-pleasing".
- hanifvirani 13y agoThere are pros and cons to both. I think I liked having them, but I would like them to stay hidden if it is indeed making the community better. And that I guess was the point of my post. Has it made the community better? Can that even be effectively judged?
- staunch 13y agoI think it'd be really fun if voting revealed the username and the score. It'd massively drive up voting, which may be good or bad though. Perlmonks solved this by adding a null vote option (+1, -1, +0)
