what if you are only granted 1 downvote per 2 upvotes you assign-- this would have a triple effect of promoting a more positive site-wide image and make downvotes twice as meaningful while also preventing abusive brigading of users-- just a thought- is the idea even feasibly applicable?
twitter has something like this that hides you away until you’re ‘established’ by reposting and following x users… ostensibly to curb botting-- it feels shitty though and could drive a lot of users away.
Yeah. It’s a crappy idea, and I hate it. We’re trying to fix the wrong problem.
