Please don't. For HN to be a community, users need some identity for other users to relate to. If you change your identity routinely, you're interrupting that functioning. Otherwise we may as well have no usernames and no community, and that would be a different kind of forum. https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme.... This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

If you don't want to be able to downvote, I'm sure we could figure out a way to make that work.

Okay, understand; unfortunately that means I will just stop posting on HN, since I neither have the desire to have “an identity” on HN, nor do I intend to disregard any guidelines. Thanks for all the work you do to keep HN running, please don’t take this personally, understand and agree with your position, just not good fit for me. Cheers!

I would be interested in a way to disable downvotes from affecting the comment ranking.
