What's the point of the upvote/downvote system?

Just to fuel clicks? (Although you'd entice more clicks if they did something)

They're like tits on a platypus.

Tell me y'all have something planned for them

I like the idea of a post changing color after _____ number of upvotes.

At least that would do something.

I was going to ask this but I didn't want Fred to come and slap me around again.

I think It's some kind of evil info farming system. I used to think it had something to do with banning status (double secret probation or whatever) but Rex would have been permabanned if that were true.

Just another form of control.

That was a joke. I don't know what the hell they're for. Actually, I'd probably vote for evil info mining if I had to guess.

Don't they get people banned on sites like Reddit?

I know almost nothing about everything I use. Do you have any idea what they're for?

I'm not really into duking it out with admins on the help board.

Are the down votes a secret or something? I was genuinely curious.

I read f33 as saying they're as unless as tits on a platypus. I don't pay attention.

Alls I know is that when people don't answer such questions, it's either because they don't think others will understand the answer or that they won't like the answer.

So, cynical condescension or evil. Those are the possibilities.
