Has the experiment been tried ? 6:1 seems too high. If that were what downvotes were currently suppressing, I feel we'd see a lot more illegal humorists slipping through this border control. Are downvotes really that effective a filter ? For instance, if HN downvotes don't stop the haters ( under even the extreme assumption that, on the internet, there are 10 haters to every 1 netizen ), I don't think they're stopping the X times as many humorists ( or "Humorous Comment Events" ). Which means that perhaps the noise ratio would not be so blown out by humour as is expected. In terms of what the ideal humour ratio should be, I think something like 1:0.1 or 1:0.2 at max would be optimal. A smattering of humour.
