There's much more people in sin here ...
... in monastery than it initially seems to.

I mean simple and known to all situation.

Supporse person A replied to person B that he is wrong and stupid. After that person B either downvotes that node and forgets an incident, which happens most of times, or selects A as enemy number one (or number 11, who knows) and downvotes everything belonging to that person, either manually (light version) or runs a so-called votebot.

As a side effect, I get a number of nodes that are just simple replies to old something and I am quite agree for them to be at zero XP forever, but they finally got "-1", thus letting me know that I am better be silent and remain previous question to me unanswered or just ignored.

From this injustice, as I see it, I can see a solution that could make a situation slightly better.

I suggest for user to have a possibility to "lock" it's node, thus making it's current XP unchangeable.
As a suggested rule, user can not lock it's node until, say, two days passes, and after that a node could be locked, if owner decides to do this, so (s)he well be able at any time to protect it from mass-downvoting (which, unfortunately, is quite common here).

As more powerful addition to this, when someone will try to downvote a "locked" node, system will "/msg" from a downvoter to a person in downvote, thus allowing a constructive discussion on the matter.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
