Remember when you vote you also need to upvote the post.
- Crito 13y agoI don't think you are correct about that. There may be some total-fuzzing going on, but the current vote total is greater than the current upvote total. 4 points by 3rd3 7 minutes ago | flag | 1 comment Please choose only one option. Traitor 0 points Neutral 1 point Hero 6 points
- Robin_Message 13y ago"Need" in the sense of "a poll vote is not an upvote, so if you want this to get lots of answers, vote it up as well as participating so it stays on the front page."
- srl 13y agoYou misunderstand: he was saying that if you're voting, you /should/ upvote, to help the poll be meaningful. You should do this because upvoting is not automatic - as you can see, some people have voted in the poll but not upvoted the post itself.
- minimaxir 13y agoThe "meaningful" part is somewhat irrelevant due to the bias invoked by asking solely the HN demographic.
- chavesn 13y agoI voted in the poll, because it was there, but I will not upvote the post because I don't think it's a good poll. I don't see what there is to be accomplished by this poll. Why do I /need/ to upvote the post?
- tjaerv 13y agoSeconded.
- Navarr 13y agoYou really don't need to be telling people what they should upvote :| Maybe one answers the poll, but doesn't see it as useful so they don't upvote the post.
