    I don't understand what upvoting and downvoting does, and what the little black number next to a poster's name means, and whether that relates to upvoting and downvoting.

    I'm new here.

    In a way.

    • 1 user with lots of multiple accounts likes to down vote other opinions to feel in the right and hopefully better.uan
    • other than that, it helps to bump or remove threads to the front page.uan
    • ^ I thought the number of side notes promoted things to the front page. The picture of my sneakers was well up with no votes but 20-odd notes.face_melter

    • "in a way" ?Gnash
    • One would assume that the number relates to the downvotes. Especially if one votes and watches the number change lol. No?
