I must admit to being one of those people who automatically upmods any zero or negative comment that is not actively rude or antagonistic. I had not thought about the serendipitous consequences of more than one person doing it at the same time.
- Semiapies 17y agoI likewise up-vote a lot of unfairly down-voted comments, but I've never up-voted one and seen it go higher than +1, even after refreshing a page. EDIT: I wonder whether spreading this idea will make some people reluctant to up-vote low-ranked comments to avoid giving too much credit to unobjectionable but unremarkable comments.

That way I could vote up a comment that I thought was wrongly buried without raising it higher than I consider it to be worth.
