I appreciate your thoughts, however it's already been established beyond doubt that rankbanning mechanisms exist and have been in effect for quite some time. I apologize for having called you out, I only did because people usually insist on getting "proof".
- waterlesscloud 12y agoThere was a time when "average karma" on your recent posts influenced your ranking. This was explicitly mentioned by pg at one point. However, dang has recently stated that avg karma has been removed and wasn't used for much anyway. So who knows? That being said, downvoting due to disagreement is currently deeply harmful to this site, but the mods seem to be fine with it. Since that's their stance, I've taken to being quite liberal in my use of downvotes. If that's the way it is, it's dumb not to do the same.
- eli_gottlieb 12y agoHmm. Interestingly, both of us are being downvoted in this very thread. I spent a whole post saying, "I don't mind automatic moderation mechanisms", and am apparently being downvoted for that. Well, now I kinda do mind.
