Re: Re: Increased number of downvotes at the Monastery?

More users with more votes results in more downvotes.

Yes, but shouldn't there be more upvotes too, to keep things balanced? Is there any reason for new voting people to be negative?

Yes, there would be more upvotes. I don't think that the new voting people would be doing any more downvoting than anyone else. I think that it ties in with what tye said about paying more attention. Downvotes tend to draw more attention than upvotes.	[reply]
