| May 23, 2010 at 22:13 | comment | added | Warner | I wouldn't say this is a "classic problem" as much as it's a flaw that should be addressed. Thankfully, the person doing it appears to have stopped. However, earlier today nearly every question was voted at least +1. | |
| May 23, 2010 at 21:46 | comment | added | Rosinante | @Warner: one of the classic problems with question voting. Is the question before you 'what score does this question deserve?' or 'do I like it enough to add +1?' | |
| May 23, 2010 at 19:42 | comment | added | Warner | They don't deserve > 0. >0 indicates better than the average. | |
| May 23, 2010 at 17:58 | comment | added | devinb | Keep in mind, you shouldn't be downvoting unless the questions legitimately deserve downvotes. Just because someone upvoted them unreasonably, doesn't mean you should downvote them unreasonably. | |
| May 23, 2010 at 17:26 | comment | added | Aarobot | @Arjan: That might have been it. The question itself is about something slightly different but the answers do get into a lot of what I mentioned. | |
| May 23, 2010 at 16:42 | comment | added | Arjan | @Aarobot, could that be Is the Electorate Badge Working?? (The quote I now go to Stack Overflow daily and expend my entire vote amount on questions. I don't vote on answers any more. was not serious, if I understand correctly.) | |
| May 23, 2010 at 15:27 | comment | added | Warner | That thought crossed my mind as well. It sounds like there's no moderator remedy, which is unfortunate. It's increasing the noise ratio. Ironically, I'm 52 votes from it but legitimately. | |
| May 23, 2010 at 15:23 | comment | added | Aarobot | It's widely held to be a symptom of the Electorate badge. There was a question/topic here about it, but I can't find it. Some people even admitted that at the end of the day they use up all their leftover votes by opening up and upvoting random questions with +1 or more. I hate that badge. | |
| May 23, 2010 at 15:09 | comment | added | Warner | That's an informative reference Arjan, thanks. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to address this current issue. I've also edited to provide more details. | |

| May 23, 2010 at 14:58 | comment | added | Arjan | Some examples please? And: upvoting bad posts, or upvoting a lot of good posts? | |
