This is the first meta-discussion that hasn't started off on a sour note for me, because the OP is not just saying "Heyyyyy I hate it when people downvote boo hoo etc." He's offered his thoughts on the causes of downmodding tension and has put forward his idea of how to approach the problem. Sure, it's still meta-discussion, but at least it's productive.
- anamax 17y agoI didn't criticise meta-discussion in general; I only commented on points discussions. Hiding points is not a new proposal. It came up yesterday (under http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=739969 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=739969 ) and has probably come up before. My success criteria would be whether hiding points results in fewer points discussions than exposing them.
