Yes. It worked for slashdot. Downvotes just allow for brigading by people to censor others as reddit has shown. Our layout is a good design if everyone wants to be heard without being censored. Plus it allows for 2 types of sorting by the type of upvote

Worked real good... can't even remember the last time anyone ever talked about 'slashdot'.

It did work. The problem with Slashdot boils down to it being sold and put on autopilot. Back in the day, when there was a "Slashdot Effect", that decision really did work pretty well.

I was there. Funny, when I even think about posting on /. the meta mod points start to flow... Anyone with a low UID gets no ads, mod points, ass kissed, just for thinking about a comment. Sad.

I don't talk about slashdot because I don't want it ruined like reddit
