Is this thread experiencing a downvote/flag brigade?
Many of the comments are downvoted (without good reason), and the thread itself is at the bottom of the first page, despite being much "better" (70 points, 21 comments in 2 hours) than some of the top threads (granted, I can't see the flags)!
- 0xcde4c3db 10y agoI wouldn't be shocked if people were flagging it for the headline being sensationalized/clickbait (as "letting executive escape their crimes" is just one aspect of a much bigger story). Or just flagging it because it's BuzzFeed.
- Noseshine 10y agoThe question is about comments/replies being downvoted, something I too noticed. Those downvoting could at least leave a comment as to why - when as in these cases it isn't obvious at all and looks like trolling.
- tptacek 10y agoI flagged this post right away, since it's a political advocacy piece that --- as you can see --- generated a mostly uninformed and unidirectional thread. Generally we're better off not litigating downvotes.
