You should downmod the comments, not the person.

What's happening here is that troll decides he doesn't like startupgeek, so troll goes to the threads page for startupgeek and downmods every single comment on there.

If you think someone sucks, then downmod the sucky thing they said. Not all the non-sucky things.




Right. There is no such thing as downvoting someone's karma. What you vote upon (unless you abuse the system) are individual comments and submissions. Karma is an overall score, not something you edit at will.


I guess downmodding people doesn't really do anything, anyway. I still have to see all the future stuff they write.

It would be cool if there was some way I could nuke people, so I wouldn't have to see posts or comments submitted by people like juwo, tracksuitceo, or one of guy kawasaki's sock puppets.


It's better to discriminate comments instead of people.
