Why don't you publish the top 3 or 5 folks who up vote and down vote the most, maybe as an additional section on the leaders page. It might effect behavior interestingly.
- pg 19y agoI'd rather just make the system quietly do the right thing. Never do through social pressure what you could do through software.
- Keios 19y agoI understand. I hope news.yc doesn't become an overly serious place though. PS: As an after-thought, social pressure may be more adaptable than software.
- aston 19y agoI thought it was the other way around: never try to solve a social problem with software. The karma-neutral idea sounds like a good one, but then you remember that it's easy to create new accounts... Ultimately, you just have to depend on people to do good or leave.
- dood 19y agoA fair point, but there is a downvote threshold (20 points). Easy to overcome, but also easy to detect.
- rokhayakebe 19y agogood one.As a matter of fact I know who went around and down voted other users, but giving his username will not help my startup or any1s so (B....) I hope you have learned your lesson.
