Re: Why down vote is soo easy?!

I must say I agree with you in your reasoning for downvoting. It should be saved for extreme cases. I don't know if I should push that view onto other Monks, but that's another matter.

In any case, there was a recent discussion (Possible changes to Voting/XP) that might be relevent. It seems like the gods are trying to tweak things a bit to avoid these "joy-downvotes" that you're mentioning. Hopefully the desired effects will be achieved. 8^)

I must say I agree with you in your reasoning for downvoting. It should be saved for extreme cases. Then why isn't upvoting only saved for extreme circumstances? Why should medicore nodes get a positive rating?	[reply]

I do not vote either way on mediocre nodes, I just ignore them. Basically that gives me three values ++, , and --. Or, good enough to deserve mention, bad enough to deserve mention, and ignored. ---- I Go Back to Sleep, Now. OGB	[reply]
