All: In HN comments, please don't complain about being downvoted. It's off-topic, explicitly against the site guidelines, and tedious.

Ah OK thanks didn't realise. I don't mind being downvoted, just without any replies or explanation. It is particularly militant in C++ articles, where there is an extremely hostile backlash to C++ here on HN, I have noticed. The language bashers come out in force for no good reason.

Please reduce the number of people with downvote power. Far too many people abuse them now. The site has become very hostile and it's caused entire communities to move away from HN, e.g. to producthunt. This trend will only continue if the hostility isn't improved.
