Implement a HN like voting system with only upvotes #12

Hello @matoous,

what do you think about 2 configurable options:

  1. Reddit style down/upvoting
  2. HN style only upvoting + ranking algorithm

I think that option 1. is good when the userbase is small and you don't have many admins because you can just filter out links with too many downvotes instead of manually redacting them.

HN voting style is nice but they also have features that can bring the score of link down such as flagging it or the admins can boost the score.

I agree that it would be nice to have both options but I think that other issues have higher priority.
