| Jun 6, 2016 at 21:54 | comment | added | Mast | @Undo I think the point he's trying to make is that we don't know. We're used to the implemented system, not to whatever is coming. This may be unnerving to people. | |

| Jun 6, 2016 at 21:12 | comment | added | Pilot6 | But at the same time Y could upvote X too. It still does not mean targeting. It may or may not. | |
| Jun 6, 2016 at 21:10 | comment | added | Shog9 | No it doesn't, @Pilot6. Forgive me for not being too specific here, but... The detection is based on patterns of voting, not simply "X voted for Y too much". Invalidation once detected is currently somewhat more blunt, but the actual detection is quite conservative even with the corrections I've made. | |
| Jun 6, 2016 at 21:07 | comment | added | Pilot6 | @Shog9 But the problem is that if someone posts many good answers, you system considers it as a targeting. But it is not the case. Many people know that I am not a very friendly person ;-) but I am still affectd. | |
| Jun 6, 2016 at 21:06 | comment | added | Shog9 | Both. "Serial vote" always implies "targeted vote". Incidentally, we've kinda moved away from using "serial voting" in the UI because of this confusion. | |
| Jun 6, 2016 at 21:05 | comment | added | Braiam | This affects only "serial votes" or "targeted votes"? | |
| Jun 6, 2016 at 21:03 | comment | added | Shog9 | Ok; you're five and I don't want you to spoil your supper, but there's cookies on the table for later. I point at them and tell you, "don't eat these cookies". So you go into the pantry and eat the rest of the package of cookies, because I didn't tell you not to eat those cookies. Here, we have a system that inadvertently said, "don't vote exactly like that" when it really meant, "don't vote for people, vote for posts". | |
