I also think this would get rid of the "+1" posts, which I

Another reason why I think a

I would also like a voting system, much like what reddit has.
The downside is such a system can easily be gamed. I know
reddit has stuff in place to blunt gaming, and such may be
beyond our resources to do (it requires constant attention).
I'd like to have a _separate_ voting system, based on GitHub

negative communication impact as far as my online experience
