This keeps coming up, and people keep linking to pg's post on saying that's exactly the intent of down-voting.
- cema 17y agoWell, pg controls it to a large extent, but not 100%.
- Semiapies 17y agoIt's his site. If he says downvoting is appropriate for expressing disagreement, then there's no basis for saying that isn't "what down votes are for".
- cema 17y agoHe has built the site, and people are building the news forum. It appears (or perhaps "it emerges") that what they are using the voting system for is close to his vision but not 100%. Of course he can still guide it, but the crowd works its ways.
