Ask HN: Why are upvotes not applied?

1 points by f_salmon 12y ago ↗ HN

How come upvotes are not taken into account? (Is it only me?)

Bug or feature?

If feature, why does this make sense? (No, I'm not a mass up/downvoter.)

If HN does not want me to vote, why display the up/down arrows? Why not simply hide them?

If your's is a new account or has been banned then upvotes won't be accountable.

Thanks, but neither is the case (my username is not green anymore, and you could see my post => not banned).

How do you know know they are not applied?
