Why is this system so messed up? At least on Reddit, a vote is a vote. Here, it takes 3 or 4 to count as one. And I am constantly being told that I am posting too fast. What is wrong with this system?

#6Stop the "Awesome" and "Thanks" replies, they're getting you down-votes.
HN is a bit different to reddit, replies should advance discussions or ask questions at least vaguely on topic. Saying you're adding it to your Chrome read me later will be down voted by other users.
If you like something, just upvote it, no need to say you like it.
