For people, who are new to HN, do not use downvotes to express your disagreement with author. Use them if the comment was off track, spam, bad mannered or in general not adding any value whatsoever.
- thomasahle 12y agoThat is what I thought as well, until this thread happened https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9237644 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9237644 Apparently it is the official HN policy that up/down voting is for agreement/disagreement. :-(
