Does a voting and flagging system on a discussion board reward the aggressively conventional or the aggressively independent to a greater extent?
Which group does such a system punish to a greater extent?
- chippy 6y agoIn HN people often flag submissions to keep the identity and content more coherent and to reduce flame. (e.g. flagging advertisements, political and culture war submissions) Perhaps it's the passive ones that flag submissions, but downvoting comments occurs by more aggressive conventional ones? I'd love to see statistics.
