It seems that negative-scored comments still start to gray out, so you'll be able to upvote something you think has been unjustly penalized.
What you won't be able to do is aim things toward a desired positive score, such as downvoting a one-liner joke with 100+ points that you wouldn't downvote if it were at 20 points or less.
- unalone 17y agoIt'll be curious to see, then, if those one-liners get even more massively upvoted, or if the reaction towards them becomes something negative.
- camccann 17y agoMy guess would be: More groupthink, less bandwagon. That is, comments that (intentionally or not) pander to the audience will get more upvotes, but good comments that happen to get several early upvotes won't get the same pile-on effect. That's just a WAG, though.
- unalone 17y agoOne thing I do notice: I'm already much less frustrated at comments I'm reading here. If somebody says something I disagree with, I can't see if half the site has voted them up, to me it's just a typical comment that I can either ignore or respond to. Similarly, now dcurtis and I are arguing upthread, and I'm not anxiously wondering if he's been voted up more than me. We're just in a normal argument where neither of us will be proved by the community to be "more" right than the other. That's good.
