Observation from reading the thread: Forums without a ‘downvote’ button are abhorrent. Not being able to at least register disgust at stupid comments via a trivial lowering of that comment’s rating makes the experience (of being exposed to stupid) almost painful. (Not being able upvote gwern is nearly as bad!)
ie. Primitive though it may be lesswrong’s karma system is awesome.
EDIT: Ahh, from the look of it perhaps my new account is just not permitted to vote yet. Since lesswrong has a similar codebase this makes me wonder about potential upgrades...
