All: Please don't do systematic voting on HN, including in hiring threads. It's not in the spirit of the site, and if we notice people doing it, we take away their voting privilege.

The opposite is true: it's always been rare. I looked through the first three months (starting at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2396027) and didn't see one. Anyone can page back through https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring to look for themselves.
In the past when I've suggested upvoting job posts that include salary information, it always comes out with positive upvotes, indicating that it's something that interests the community.
I also never encourage downvoting.
