in thread RFC: Policy regarding abuses of the voting system

I wonder if I'd even notice if someone downvotes every node I ever wrote.
we do have lists sorted by reps, not only best nodes but also the order of replies are effected.

and authors will start to question their motivation to participate if they repeatedly experience immediate downvotes as first reaction.

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    what authors? New seekers don't see negative voting. Older seekers value replies more than side nodelet noise

      New seekers don't see negative voting

      History is full of examples to the contrary.
