Hi. Is there to be an option to vote down posts or is this an upvote only community?

Upvote only. -This will make a bit more sense as Husbki continues to develop. Rather than a downvote, those that aren't appreciated for their contributions will be somewhat easy to ignore.

But, if someone asks you that question, just tell them to turn the hubwheel to the left. :)

there is still something in the help area about down voting.

" What is Karma?

Karma is the currency of Hubski. Every day that you interact on Hubski, a small amount of Karma is deposited into your account. Each vote you make costs 1 Karma. If someone up-votes a comment you made, you earn 1 Karma. If someone down-votes a comment you made, you lose 1 Karma.

The amount of Karma you are granted each day increases as your Clout and number of Followers increase.

If you have no Karma, you cannot post to Hubski."

Might clean that up.

Good catch. Thanks.

That makes sense. It's something I thought about before on reddit. Some of the communities there more or less eliminated downvotes with success.

If I may make a suggestion, I think you should move the hubwheel to the left so there's no overlap between the two. Currently it's slightly hard to read (and it looks like it might be gaining orbiting objects too as you click it? I can't tell).

Is there an overlap with the title? Try an alt-refresh with your browser. If there still is, please let me know. Also, which browser.

and it looks like it might be gaining orbiting objects too as you click it?

Yes, it is!

While downhubs (?) aren't built into the system will you enable the removal of votes that are accidentally given?

Hi notseamus. You can now un-vote:http://hubski.com/pub?id=2629 (among other changes).

Thanks for the suggestion.

You're a star!
mk  ·  4654 days ago  ·  link  ·  
Ha, I think you just named them: uphubs. That's not a bad idea, notseamus. Perhaps just clicking it a second time could undo the vote. I don't see any reason why that can't be done. -Thanks!

Potentially stupid question, but what do the smaller circles surrounding the circle represent?
mk  ·  4653 days ago  ·  link  ·  
Not at all. It's a ranged score.

"Up-hubs", I like that. The changes look great mk. When I click on the hubwheel to uphub a post, the hubwheel disappears until the screen is refreshed. You might want to revise that? Otherwise, very nice.

Good point. I made an initial effort in that direction, and the realized it would take a bit more than I thought. That should be addressed in a future update.

Oh, just did a cmd shift r and it's now no longer overlapping.

Chrome 12.something on OS X out of interest, but it's fixed now. Presumably it was just cached from before.
