It is called karma bombing and it just proves the point. Compare it to the solution where there's a recommendation system that helps everybody involved: the ones downvoting the posts will form one cluster, the ones upvoting them will be in

English is not my first language. I meant that on the social news site that I'm working on there are no posts about downvotes, because everybody is free to express their opinion with up and down votes as they wish and it doesn't hurt anybod

Great, there are no submissions about downvotes there, because unlike here it is not a problem. Edit: whoever is downvoting this comment should check the definition of "irony"

Do not think so, this is really important and sad. Taming of the wild animals starts at school, and then we wonder why so few are growing up entrepreneurs?

It got a new look, a new core feature. Should we just re-launch it under a different name?
