- dragonwriter 8y agoThe whole point of downvotes is to improve S/N ratio by reducing the visibility of noise by both deemphasizing the comments that are noise and channeling pushback to such comments into the voting system rather than additional comments. So, no, not getting pushback in comments is not supporting evidence for improper use of downvotes, it is the intent of downvotes.
- toasterlovin 8y agoI get it. The instances I’m talking about are, IMO, pretty clearly just irrational disagreement.
