    I just want the functionality organized in some predictable way and leave me some place to work in

    Then customize it. If you’re using Office, it should even be transferred between devices. This is exactly why you can customize it: so you can make your type of work your focus.

    I’m not here to defend MS or anything, but I can’t help pointing out the answer right in front of you.





  • I don’t think there’s a big problem by using upvotes, downvotes and comments as systems that can show the popularity or controversy of a post.

    Imo the bigger problem is in the comments using the same voting system. For starters, everyone the system in a different way. Most notably example is downvoting to disagree.

    Secondly, because we are evolutionary wired to try and fit in, you either consciously or subconsciously try to create a comment that will give you the best chances at seeing the numbers go up and receive validation from your peers.

    Personally I think the system is fine to keep running under the hood to keep the sorting algorithms available and maybe for moderation purposes, but it would be great if we wouldn’t be able to see them at all as to not be influenced by the connections we make between votes and post content.
