I downvoted you, and I’m pretty sure I’m not a bot. I did so because failing to lock up people that commit serious crimes is prima facie extremist - no citation is necessary.
- allana 7y agoYou were ratelimited by @dang for acting poorly, not surprisingly your continuing to act against the sites policy for downvoting.
- downandout 7y agoDownvoting is against the site’s policy? Why does the downvote button exist then?
- allana 7y agoDownvoting (from what I gather) is supposed to be used not as a disagree button, but rather as a tool when a comment doesn't add value to a conversation, hence why downvotes are so restricted on HN.
- downandout 7y agoI think you have a misunderstanding of this issue. If that’s the case, essentially every downvote I have ever received was an “abuse” of the feature.

Mini-modding on the other hand...
