I just now realized that my proposal to rename Community to Buffy was deleted by said Community, because of negative score + account-nuke. Took an upvoted Shog's answer with it, too.

Oh well. Out of the extant posts of mine, Remove the reputation reduction (-2) for downvotes received is probably the lowest-scored, at -21.

@zaq Now? But SO has always been in love with 1337 trolls. No? How about the time when one of your co-founders personally delivered goods to one of your first well known albeit lesser trolls? What about the game SO dedicated to trolls? Do you think that 1337 trolls would thrive if SO didn't secretly allow them to do so all these times?
 
user202362
But don't worry, it's not just SO. The whole internet is secretly in love 1337 trolls. From my personal experience, I have been to quite a few popular sites, and I did well on ALL of them as a 1337 troll. Yep.

I was just curious to see if the data suggest that on low traffic sites it would pretty banal to identify downvoters just with a single, daily "data snapshoot.
Not that I would do that, it is just that that would again demonstrate that Stack only really works on big numbers.
It is already pretty obvious that the "good posts float to top" only work with enough votes. I wonder if the "anonymity" also falls apart on low traffic sites.

If ye really want to see how the "focus on content and not users" will work, and avoid those serial downvotes issues, I still ask Stack to do the big step and hide any reference to the post owner and the post owner rep score.

Yup, hiding post authors will indeed solve any issue related to reputation.

not "any", because the mud effect where low vote ratio sites get fewer votes because they are low vote ratio would be still there... but at least maybe people couldn't really do "mass revenge downvote" anymore

@JonEricson It's important to (sometimes) question the direction of the group. I sometimes do that. I hope I don't do it too much, but if I err on a side, too much is it.
ok, well if you can think of a word that communicates it better, let me know.

I would guess so.

@AaronHall If you're referring to the changes in the review process one, he asked me the same one.

In any case, @JonEricson I may be characterized as a contrarian, but I sometimes play the devil's advocate to ensure that the direction we're going stands scrutiny. Standing scrutiny is a common theme in my campaign for moderator. Can I count on your support? :)

Try money @AaronHall. I'm sure Jon can be persuaded.

Rep chart of Sergey K., the 6th nominee. Hmm, about 2.5K drop. Wasn't bounties.

@zaq ... that may not be what you think it is. Let me see if I can find what I suspect.

@JonEricson Missing out on some of life's greatest joys

Hives and coughing fits are life's greatest joys?

So far, there's only one candidate who got a comment from a CM:

> Andy's work around comment flags has been very impressive. I'm definitely curious to see what his thoughts on the mod queue are and if we could incorporate some of his work permanently on the site. Better identification of flags is something that would be very nice to have permanently. [bluefeet]

Hmm, can't seem to find it @zaq. I seem to recall a large rep recalc due to a high profile user leaving. But maybe that's not the case.

@Magisch Right. That's what I was talking about too.

@JonEricson I mean if you didn't have the hives and coughing
Snuggling a small kitten is just so ... there is few things more enjoyable then that
You could improvise and use a puppy instead
There are 2 on the SO moderator team already ...
 
user315433
@Bart Even so, having 17% of reputation received from one user seems abnormal.
 
user315433
Although some tags may be like that.

c++ tag with a couple of active regulars. Might be legitimately possible. But it does look strange indeed.

@zaq That means nearly 1 in 5 upvotes generating rep at all (excluding accepts / edits) would have to have come from 1 person
0,85 of every 5 upvotes, to be exact

I asked the user to explain, if he cares to.

Meanwhile, Cerbrus is nominee #7.
 
Bart

Good nominee
P.s. @zaq The previous nominations of Sergey contain no mention in any of the comments of the rep drop. So still a mystery.

> There are a lot of other rooms on Stack Exchange, I'm a regular in a large number of them, but no longer your Python room. I think the Python room is an outlier in many respects. You get a lot of new and young programmers that are just starting to learn Python and how to interact on this site. I'm not going to insist or even ask that you change. But I think that there is a need for a diversity of rooms and that you cannot have a monopoly on the Python tag.

4 hours of nomination period, 2.5 viable candidates. Not bad.
