Perhaps asking users why they are downvoting could help. Maybe not necessary to show their reason to others, but add friction and force someone to think twice.
- loceng 6y agoIf there's no witnessing or critique/scrutiny by the community possible then I don't think there will be the pressure necessary for quality comments to be made - and leaving a moderator to privately review them would likely have more comments left toward the spectrum of "this guy's an idiot" then toward side of constructive or useful criticism.
- ghufran_syed 6y agoHmm, what about being able to see a list of downvotes and explanations on a user’s profile? With maybe some minimum karma before you can see that on someone else’s profile? So there is potential scrutiny by the community, but not in a way that disrupts the original discussion?
- loceng 6y agoWhy would it be disrupting conversation and not simply inherent to it? Top replies will still be at top.
