Well, since you can't downvoat, folks are careful on what they want to bump to the top.

if we could downvote, bits could downvote everything into oblivion.

But really. I post tons of interesting shit. Hardly ever get a single upvote, or even comment.

Damn. You do post a lot. I'll have to check your posts out more often, although I do tend to sift through the political posts on here unless they're on the front page.

Sorry, I haven't been as present as at some other times.

I usually find what you write insightful and upvote.

On another note, forums used to have weighted upvotes, where the reputation of the user would modify the impact of his upvotes (and downvotes). Users with big rep would have more valuable upvotes and STABs would have to go through months and months of being good citizens before they got enough weight behind themselves to have even the tiniest of impacts.

It's not a perfect system of course.
