Even with the downvoting option of Reddit, I found implementations like StackOverflow’s to be more interesting (at S.O., “down” doesn’t remove as many points as “up” adds, and it costs the downvoter personal points to do it).
- acdha 9y agoThe SO model seems tricky to generalize. I like that downvoting has a cost but for political topics that’s vulnerable to sock puppets & trolls unless there’s a very healthy karma threshold.
- hycaria 9y agoDo we really need to put an idiotic comment at -150 points to make a point though ?
- acdha 9y agoI was thinking more about the situation where a bunch of accounts are registered and upvote each other into prominence or coordinate downvotes. That can have a pronounced effect on community norms and many communities don’t have enough genuine participants with spare time to stay on top of even minor troll infestations much less a GamerGate, Russian political operation, etc.
