If i am not mistaken, you cannot down mod stories, just comments.

Ouch... I was busting my ass karma-whoring here. Now I fail to see the point of it all.

Such a waste of a witty username, eh?

If you dislike a story, you can make a comment with your issues. I'd recommend being precise.

If the story is not Hacker News material, then you can flag it.

I used to really want submission downmodding as well, but now I'm really glad it's not here. The conversations that come up from controversial links are always worth the price of admission.

My username has to do with my first submission and serves as a reminder of my New Year resolutions.

Sorry, more proof that tone is impossible on the internet. My first sentence was just being jokey. In retrospect I should have probably not put it in there.

The rest of my post still stands though. (I'm not editing my original so that the thread will make sense.)
