Non-moderator nudge: Given that most of the comments here are created via voting on the banner, I’d like to discourage people from downvoting comments below zero just for being low effort. I think it’s still useful to leave a quick note in this case, so people can see them when browsing the banner. Hopefully positive karma will still do the job of sorting really good ones to the top.
Also, reminder to use the agree/​disagree voting for whether or not you agree with a statement. Save karma voting for whether or not you believe the comment is contributing something meaningful /​ unique to the overall dialogue. Don’t just karma upvote a bunch of similar statements you vaguely agree with, or karma downvote things you disagree with.

I didn’t realise the comments were from that initially. Thanks.
