| Feb 27, 2012 at 23:26 | comment | added | Evan Carroll | I accidentally upvoted that comment, can I get that upvote back then? | |
| Feb 27, 2012 at 23:19 | comment | added | voretaq7 Mod | @EvanCarroll Pay no attention, simply drop that reference down the nearest memory hole... | |
| Feb 27, 2012 at 23:13 | comment | added | Evan Carroll | What is miniluv? | |
| Feb 27, 2012 at 23:09 | comment | added | Wesley | Sounds like we need to get Miniluv involved. | |
| Feb 27, 2012 at 23:07 | comment | added | Mark Henderson Mod | @EvanCarroll - even if we wanted to, we can't see who voted on what. So... no. | |
| Feb 27, 2012 at 23:05 | comment | added | EEAA | @EvanCarroll - Though we hope users have good reasons for issuing down-votes, we don't require a valid reason. That said, there are algorithms in place that detect and act on abuse of the voting system. Those wouldn't be applicable here, though. | |
| Feb 27, 2012 at 23:04 | comment | added | sysadmin1138 Mod | @EvanCarroll People can vote for anything. If we banned people for upvoting answers that were only funny, but not useful in any way, we'd be short a lot of people. The same goes for "I don't like your attitude" downvotes. Policing the reasons people vote is a fundamentally hard problem, and StackExchange has chosen not to tackle it beyond outlier cases like voting-rings. | |
| Feb 27, 2012 at 23:01 | comment | added | Evan Carroll | So wait, someone is downvoting the question for something else, and you know that? Is that even permitted, can we just ban them? | |
