Register me as an opinion against. I think that the main change would be to make it easier for a small group of people to try to vote people they don't like out of existence. Does PM really need that to be any easier than it is already?

However I would be for it if that issue could be alleviated. One suggestion that I saw and liked is that you cannot downvote a person that you downvoted within your last few votes for some sensible definition of few. (Say, 5.) That would mean that despite downvotes having more of an effect, it would be harder to target a person.

In short my position is that most people are adverse to downvoting others (I know I am) and a downvote is a stronger statement than an upvote. But you have to make sure that a small minority of real jerks don't get more control because of the change.

BTW anyone who downvotes me on this post, please /tell me about it. You undoubtably know what I ask on my home node, why not take advantage of it?

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.
