It does matter because it's communication, albeit binary and pretty bad, about how well your comment is being received. It matters emotionally, just like a scowl matters, or a joke at your expense matters. It's also a form of censorship and throwing rotten food on the poster. > Particularly as you don't know who is doling out the points Well, that is part of the problem, isn't it?

Win-win. Point taken about how the voting algorithm works. |
