I like the way CP is dealing with compulsive downvoters
-
One has to deal with uppers and downers. I have had a downer for several years. On t'other hand, it really isnt important. One has to learn to live with such things. Status comes from ones peers respect, not ones value as adjudged by a voting system.

Hmmm how odd. If I vote a 3, why is it deemed any less relevant just because it doesn't follow the majority?
I feel the system has been introduced to deal with the spammers. If 50 people up-vote the article thinking that it is an excellent article and one guy down-votes it, the logic says that this guy IS a spammer. If you still have a very valid reason why the article should be down-voted, we have a forum where you can report it. And I must tell you that CP admins listen to each and every request and they do have the powers to revert your vote back to a valid vote. The important point here is deciding the "majority". If that is done well, the logic is correct 99.99% of the times. I hope that makes some sense. :)

It seems it happened with Sacha's latest article: Html5 WebWorkers experiment[^] Someone voted 3, but that vote was removed. Obviously it was due to some new rule preventing vandalization of articles that received many excellent votes. well done, guys :thumbsup:
Take a look at Html5 Snooker Club here in The Code Project.
I don't really think that 3s can be considered a 'downvote' or 'vandalisation', though I do like the system in principle. It could also have some unintended consequences, like articles which get rated 4 by everyone being safe (low SD) but articles with a spread of 3-4-5 being vulnerable to 1s.

You two certainly seem knowledgable about arguing the certainty of certain knowledge. :laugh:

I can't say for certain whether I know if I'm sure. I certainly suspect I have the knowledge though. :)
