| Sep 2, 2016 at 10:35 | comment | added | fedorqui | Downvoting this post since it has many upvotes... :D Just joking, you are absolutely right. We vote posts, not people. We can be sorry about people, but posts do deserve to be treated as a separate instance, no matter what people did before with it. | |
| Sep 1, 2016 at 16:23 | comment | added | Kalamalka Kid | @zwets I never agreed with Persig on that 100%, however he was the philosopher that brought me the awareness to question where quality resides. | |
| Sep 1, 2016 at 13:25 | comment | added | zwets | @KalamalkaKid you should reread Pirsig. "Quality is subjective" is close to the exact opposite of Pirsig's position. It's a good thing comments aren't answers, 'cause that one would get you a downvote. For low objective quality. :p | |
| Sep 1, 2016 at 7:49 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | @KalamalkaKid You are welcome :) | |
| Sep 1, 2016 at 7:48 | comment | added | Kalamalka Kid | Ok thanks for the life info Dad ! | |
| Sep 1, 2016 at 7:40 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | OK but be careful, the real world is scary and people may disagree with you, even if you don't want them too. | |
| Sep 1, 2016 at 7:38 | comment | added | Kalamalka Kid | I was not trying to silence you. Please, feel free to respond away into the night. I have said all I wanted to say. Goodnight | |
| Sep 1, 2016 at 7:35 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | @KalamalkaKid You posted on my question telling me I was wrong! Now you don't want to discuss that? WTF, sorry that this is not your safe space where you can criticize everyone else and just run away and hide. If you post on my question, especially if you criticize me, I am well within my rights to respond. If you don't want to debate things don't post comments on a discussion. | |
| Sep 1, 2016 at 7:32 | comment | added | Kalamalka Kid | Cheers, as in goodnight, not interested in a debate. | |
| Sep 1, 2016 at 7:30 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | @KalamalkaKid Not here it is not, we have very clear quality guidelines for people to follow, we even have a whole close reason dedicated to low quality posts. IDK why you are thanking me? | |
| Sep 1, 2016 at 7:26 | comment | added | Kalamalka Kid | Quality is subjective. Read Robert Persig. Cheers | |
| Sep 1, 2016 at 7:25 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | @KalamalkaKid Then you are contributing to undermine the systems on this site, you are supposed to vote on the quality of content in a post and nothing else. This is a meritocracy, you get rep for good contributions and content, if you want somewhere where feelings are more important than merit and facts, you might have a better time on Tumblr. | |
| Sep 1, 2016 at 7:22 | comment | added | Kalamalka Kid | Either way I'l cast my votes as I see fit, and will do so on whatever terms I desire. If I want to vote with empathy so be it. I don't see how anyone could be banned for casting a vote | |
| Sep 1, 2016 at 7:16 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | @KalamalkaKid Don't be ridiculous, people can vote as they wish but there are rules for voting and you can even get banned for abusing the voting system. Democracy? I don't think a website, with a very specific topic and a pre defined set of rules counts as a democracy, even by the very loosest definition of the word. | |
| Sep 1, 2016 at 3:16 | comment | added | Kalamalka Kid | never, ever tell someone how to vote. This is what democracy looks like. Voting as you wish | |
| Aug 29, 2016 at 11:58 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | @CedaEI It sure is possible, there are things in place to track that but you never know. | |
| Aug 29, 2016 at 11:52 | comment | added | Ceda EI | It is possible that he has another account. So, he uses two accounts to vote each other. | |

| Aug 24, 2016 at 17:40 | comment | added | EKons | @Zacharee1 What about posting a bad thing to get a -3 score (preferably answer) and then deleting it, just to get a "Peer Pressure" badge? | |

| Aug 21, 2016 at 4:55 | comment | added | TheWanderer | I always thought they were from badge-seekers. Every so often, there's about an hour-long period I'm around to witness, where every single new question is upvoted literally as soon as it's posted, no matter the quality. There are probably a few sympathy voters, but in my mind, most of the weird upvotes are from people who just want that copper circle. | |

| Aug 20, 2016 at 11:06 | comment | added | terdon Mod | Point of order: being a duplicate is no reason to downvote a post. That question certainly deserves to be downvoted, don't get me wrong, just not for being a dupe. It's often hard to find dupes even for experienced users. We shouldn't penalize people for posting dupes, only for posting crap. | |
| Aug 20, 2016 at 9:06 | comment | added | Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy | I somehow doubt that higher rep users , who have experience on the site would vote that up. It likely came from inexperienced user. | |
