- sophacles 17y agoI can accept that, but why not stop at -1? Why keep downvoting -- unfunny joke does not need to be beaten down the same way racist troll does.
- scott_s 17y agoMaybe they do - while one is morally inferior to the other, they're both noise. (If there was not a limit at -4, I suspect a racist troll would eventually go more negative than a simply unfunny attempt at humor.)
