Upvote/Downvote System Now Available

[Chris Hughes]

Working on this so it allocates likes/dislikes to posts individually as well as a running total. Appreciate all the feedback! As mentioned in OP, this is just a test—if we're not feeling it in a couple weeks, we can remove it, but figured it was worth testing out before removing the karma function entirely.

Thanks for working to make this place better, Andrew.  If possible, I would also try to tie the up/down votes to a user in a transparent way.  Almost everyone on this site uses their real name to post their opinions, hiding likes or dislikes seems it could incentivize less than ideal behavior. If you're not willing to vote a post with your name attached to it, you probably shouldn't click either.

Now that's a REALLY great suggestion!

Who's leading?   


I see I have a Karma total of 10 but don't know if that's 20 upvotes and 10 down or just 10 up but if the former I'll hunt the naysayers down and...and...go on a retribution tour against their worthless opinions.  Or not.   


It's not a big deal either way, truth be told.

Well you were down to Karma=8 when I got here but are now Karma=9 after my UP vote so you've definitely received 2 DOWN votes, at a minimum...
