Plus, I’ve yet to see an argument for showing upvotes and downvotes separately beyond “Aren’t you curious?!”
Come to think of it if I had this information I’d probably use kibitzer to just calculate total upvotes and display only that in the place of ‘karma’, suppressing downvote information entirely.

Aha! You didn’t know either. It’s not just me. I conclude that it is (probably) a failure of some aspect of the system (e.g. the newbie orientation system).
Question: how does your comment relate to what you quoted? [I think I’m having trouble disambiguating your “this”]
If the upvotes are shown separately or, equivalently, with upvotes and ‘total votes’ are shown, I would use scripts such that what I saw was just the upvotes.
Right. If you are empowered to change the default, it won’t matter to you so much what the default is. (Fair paraphrase?) I too like the idea of letting us control the information we subject ourselves to (re: Siren’s again) and it sounds like that’s actually built in on some level. I have to go read how it works [but I don’t have time right now; I keep saying that and talking instead. hmmm. bad. putting down the keyboard.]
