I am thinking on posts what others would be happy to start, but they won't in the fear of the downvotes.

@peterh like the require a comment when down voting? or Why am I question banned, I only have positive scoring posts

@rene I think it would be a good idea, but then we would have far lesser downvotes. So the weight of the down should grow, maybe to -10.

@rene I think requiring a comment doesn't mean that the anonymity of the downvoting should stop. Instead, an anonymous comment would appear.

Oh, you're serious. I wasn't

@rene :-) I mainly accept the system, but I am open for alternative rules, too.

@rene Well, I have another funny "popular" idea: :-) I think the VtC overflow on the SO could be handled so, that if the queue size is over 1000, then we don't have 40 votes. Rather we can review every day until our first failed audit. Of course, the probability of the review audits should also grow. And they should be made more harder to detect.

I only play the let's do something completely different game on MSO and then only occasionally.

@peterh useless option. We need moar voters, not moar votes.

@rene Why? Nobody can vote in a single question twice.

@rene Roughly at 2014 the SO was very different. The VtC queue was small, and many good questions were closed without a good reason. Now there is the opposite, crap can survive without any major risk.

@peterh in 2014 the queue was at 100K

@rene Wow. It seems, not the SO changed, but me.

@rene Maybe the best effect of the SE Network isn't that it teaches people for programming. It teaches people to communicate.

sometimes people think communicating is making lots of noise while listening and thinking about the message being broadcast is as important, if not more important.

@peterh it took a bit because I screwed up scraping but here is a chart of the CVQ on SO: socvr.azurewebsites.net

@rene Wow, thanks! How big was it before 2014?
