    Why do people feel the need to downvote when someone asks a question? This sucks for discourse. Assume good faith and downvote the trolls.

      Just turn off votes altogether, they don’t make any difference AFAIK. I didn’t even know that comment was downvoted until you brought it up.

        It affects ranking and works decently to put the best comments near the top and the bad comments toward the bottom.

          There are so few comments here that it doesn’t actually make any difference. Unless you only ever read the top comment or something.
