That's what I meant.
I'm not sure if -1 points is really a great signal. That could mean only two people disliked your post, and that kind of small buffer greatly disadvantages unpopular opinions. I would think a post that is really problematic would probably amass at least net 10 downvotes.
Do you take volume of total votes into consideration, e.g., do you treat a post with 2 downvotes the same as a post with 10 upvotes and 12 downvotes? I would think a post with a sizable number of upvotes would be more likely to be an unpopular opinion rather than a really problematic post. Maybe the threshold for greying could be lowered for posts with a sizable number of upvotes.
- dang 6y agoUnfortunately I don't think those assumptions hold. It would be easier if they did, but a lot of comments (including bad ones) just don't get that much vote 'coverage'. I will look at this more closely though, because it would be interesting if there were a noticeable difference: "do you treat a post with 2 downvotes the same as a post with 10 upvotes and 12 downvotes". Thanks!
