There are three options "active/oldest/votes". Are you just suggesting adding yet another option "votes ignoring accepted" or so? This would make sense IMO. | |

| Apr 20, 2018 at 11:08 | comment | added | Be Brave Be Like Ukraine | @Fabby, but this would be vulnerable to fraud. Imagine an evil user who downvotes your post not because it became factually obsolete, but in partisan preference to a specific tool, revenge voting, or so. | |
| Apr 20, 2018 at 3:07 | comment | added | Fabby | I do all that already, that's not the point. The point is the current default sort algorithm for most users doesn't give them what they need as they go looking for "the best" answer and especially downvote and comment would work much better when that gets changed and especially deleting an upvoted answer would become more efficient as well. | |
