When I find myself getting too optimistic about humanity
-
There is some person on the ESP32 subreddit, that since I've been going there over the past several years, appears to religiously downvote every new post. It appears that's all they do, every day, day in day out. I don't really care, but I *do* notice. It's hard not to given how reliable it is. Sometimes I like to try to crawl around inside his head and spend a day in the life, if you will. I come away from it with a more realistic view toward people. And yes, I realize it could be a bot, but it doesn't really change my view of the person who wrote it. All that effort for what? :laugh:

I expect that such a system can be taught to detect patterns in members' behavior and deal with them appropriately. (Provided the developers wish to do so.) As you know, here, on CP, the reputation system has the ability to give some members a higher level of influence over others and some votes will be totally ignored when calculating the ratings of posts. As well as requiring a comment to vote "negative". But CP is written by developers for developers. I don't know whether or not the algorithm here detects members who vote overly positive or overly negative, but it can be done. Other systems, I think do only the minimum and don't care about abuses. The CP developers are simply the best in the biz. :java:

Years ago, here on CPP there used to be a competition to keep your article on the front page so people would down vote other peoples articles so that it yours would move down in popularity and fall from the list. If I remember right it was like a "Most Popular" list on the Home page.

Yeah, that sort of thing just drives the wrong behavior. So many people don't take human nature into account.

People also behave in a manner on the internet that they would otherwise not behave in person to person - including myself. I think we are all guilty of this type of behavior online, in one way or another, at some time past, present, future.

There's often an old boys' network lurking somewhere. Usurpers beware.
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

We can pretend it isn't, but there's a war. After the US attacked Nordstream, things changed.

So, down votes on a subreddit by an obvious pimple faced 14 year old troll, is somehow caused by the world's war with Russia? WT actual F :sigh:

It makes them feel happier to have an outlet for their pentup rage at the unfair world? I guess...

If you write your own posts, you are not reading theirs. I suspect that is the problem ;P
