For instance, voting in the lounge was made simpler by adding just up and down votes. But it's been oversimplified to the point where you cannot downvote posts that clearly deserve it.

...and that was as simple a definition that I can think of without overdoing it...  +5 for you!

Do not over simplify things, which would usually end up in it being more complicated anyway.

It's describing contestants on reality TV shows. The rule is that they must be so simple that if they sleep, they can't control their drooling, but you don't actually want them marrying their cousins live on TV.

I've never heard of him either. Is he related to Einstein at all?

It's a restatement of Occam's Razor[^], which is the principle in physics and logic that the simplest model which explains the observation is probably correct. If it is any simpler, some observations will not be explained, and the model falls short. Einstein was rather good at saying things in a way that real people can understand. 
Will Rogers never met me.
