Votes on Reddit and Hackernews are heavily biased towards first posts. Posts the 
next day might as well have never happened.

Another thing is on HN, downvoting based on politics rather than quality is 
proscribed but happens relentlessly anyway.

I prefer the egalitarian approach of all voices here are equal. The only 
moderation we do is deleting posts that don't belong here, like spam.
