Using government guidelines to police content: state censorship?

This is my least favorite thing about HN, because it strongly reinforces groupthink. I'd much rather have the number of upvotes and downvotes visible, like Reddit, and leave the styling of the text unchanged.

If you happen to have NoScript installed, you can add something like this to the My filters

  ycombinator.com##.c00:style(color: #000 !important; )
  ycombinator.com##.c5a:style(color: #000 !important; )
  ycombinator.com##.c73:style(color: #000 !important; )
  ycombinator.com##.c82:style(color: #000 !important; )
  ycombinator.com##.c88:style(color: #000 !important; )
  ycombinator.com##.c9c:style(color: #000 !important; )
  ycombinator.com##.cae:style(color: #000 !important; )
  ycombinator.com##.cbe:style(color: #000 !important; )
  ycombinator.com##.cce:style(color: #000 !important; )
  ycombinator.com##.cdd:style(color: #000 !important; )

Change the color to match your preference.

It'd be cool to have an option in the user's HN profile/account that they can toggle if they want to hide the greying out

Personally, I think that voting is ridiculous, but I see the point.

It's one of the strongest methodologies for making a discussion board addictive.

I think an interesting feature to add would be to have peoples' user areas show how many downvotes they have spewed forth.

Have the admins of HN ever defended their decision to grey out downvoted comments with some good arguments?

Because reading a text thread where the color of the text constantly changes is rather annoying.
