HN Rant: Come and Go Voting
So I log into HN and read the wonderful essay about healthcare and end-of-life costs. I was going to comment and vote on some of the comments, but I can't downvote. Must have ticked somebody off, I guess. I upvote a few of the better comments and move on. Then I go and read about the new Chrome HN extensions. Nice job! Now I can upvote and downvote. I go back to the healthcare essay. Still no ability to downvote. Does anybody here besides the coders of HN want to support the idea that the user can have abilities come and go on a whim and this is going to make for a enjoyable user experience? HN keeps getting more and more nuanced about who can do what when, and, quite frankly, all it seems to do is intermittently piss me off. If it's making things better I can't see it. And even if it is, you don't screw around with system behavior without notifying your user of what's going on. I'm sure
