Dunno, maybe some people feel "referred to".

I've yet failed to hand out negative votes but I know the problem.
On the forums of the german IT site heise.de it's the same problem. The rules there state that you should vote on the fact of whether the posting has content worth of reading. Yet the votes are always given for "I agree or disagree with the content". | | | Karsten

| | Posted: | | | | Keep in mind, we are monitoring for vendettas. We are not going to monitor every single negative vote. A single negative vote is not going to cause you harm - as someone (I think Mark) pointed out, it will take posts that many people take offense at in order to cause your score harm.

OK, that's great. But explain to me, if you will, why the following post got a negative vote and was let stand that way. What's the point if we can't make and comment on our observations as to how the system is working? Based on the reply it got, I think my observation was pretty accurate. It might be because you accused people of having an agenda and that they are letting it get in the way of their brain. I can see how that could be taken as an insult. I got another negative vote last night. I didn't try to be insulting, but I was sarcastic. The same post got 2 positive votes, so someone thought it was insulting and 2 other people thought it was good. I can't figure out the rhyme or reason, so I have decided that I am not going to worry about it. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Skip The problem with that, is it is based only on your point of view. Ken and Gerri have no stake in this. They have no axe to grind so are the best sort of impartial observers. If they say they are on top of the situation, I have to believe them. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Yes, I'm being sarcastic. Imagine it though. Click the button and Sam Kinison lets loose with a yell. (I've set it up so that every time i empty the Windows Recycle Bin this happens) | | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

That would be a worthy deterrent. |

kdh1949, there is no negative vote on that thread. There are positive votes on it. Thanks, Ken, I see that now, but I would have sworn there was a negative vote on it. Maybe I'm getting paranoid and looking for negativity when it isn't there -- and I'm the one who can't take any criticism. I'll be sure to watch myself from now on. | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole)
