Project maintainers frequently hold themselves back with amateur presentation, and that includes typos. It's hard to take some things seriously if they are failing at English, let alone their programming language of choice. It's sad because there's plenty of amazing open source out there, but the presentation is terribad.

IMO, the solution is simple: allow project maintainers to disable pointless metrics that would incentivize the GitHub equivocal to karma farming.

I also think the quality of comment on HN suffers for the fact that the karma score is visible metric to the end-user. Reddit particularly. The view count on tweets too.
