| May 1, 2016 at 23:56 | comment | added | TryHarder | Votes for an answer should be an indicator as to the quality of that answer. There is no other good reason to upvote. | |

| Apr 27, 2016 at 10:56 | comment | added | don.joey | Thanks for taking my response seriously. Just out of interest, how do you spot serial up-voters? Do they talk about it in chat? Or do you see rising stars in the user section? I am not sure how I could spot this? Or is this in the mod tools? | |
| Apr 27, 2016 at 8:18 | comment | added | Jacob Vlijm | I could agree on the matter of intention btw, but the line is thin and since that is hardly measurable in an objective way, we'd need some kind of guideline, which we do. Also, as mentioned: No one on AU has any objection to an occasional sympathizing vote, nor with an upvote just because of the work that might have been involved in writing an answer. | |
| Apr 27, 2016 at 8:18 | comment | added | Jacob Vlijm | The biggest issue IMO is the fact that people "package" -vote, and make sure the beneficiary is aware of the favour, either inside or outside AU, so the favour will most likely be returned. It is childish cheating, making a joke of the voting system and harmful for the atmosphere, if constantly people around you have a "secret language" (you won't believe it) to announce the "presents", raising each other's reputation for nothing else then reputation itself. | |
| Apr 27, 2016 at 7:44 | comment | added | Jacob Vlijm | Now that is spicing things up :) As you'll understand, I disagree. The voting system is to mark good answers or questions without looking who is the answerer. If you like to reward someone for his or her overall contribution, pick a good answer and award a bounty. I haven't got the slightest doubt on your integrity in how and why you vote by the way. | |
