RE: Introducing downvote control tool, an open source downvote tool

in #downvotes5 years ago (edited)

A rule like skipping downvotes if the post rewards < $N may prevent unnecessary downvotes. No need to spend downvote mana if post is not visible already. (Unless you want to destroy reputation of the target.)

Great start, looking forward seeing its progress.

Sort:  

It's still draining rewards out of the pool and therefore hurting the ability to reward real contributions (unless N=0 of course).

I do agree there is no reason to waste downvote mana and take things too far but even a lot of small payouts can add up to a lot. If they aren't adding value then the small amount isn't really a reason to give a pass.

What I thought originally was that specific N=0 case, then thought its better to keep the amount configurable.

Agreed that a small payouts add up and may create a giant snowball at the end.

There is also no need to downvote if the earn is zero and someone else already did.
