Infinite Recursion

As a reviewer, I admit I don't like it when I see too many edits by the same user. The sheer fact that they edit too many posts (old and new) in a small time frame rapidly makes me inclined to decline their edits. I don't think they are organic, or required for very old posts..no matter how valid the edits are, if viewed individually. One editor piling a ton of edits in the queue makes me inclined to reject. I understand mods are volunteers too, just like me. Their stance is valid IMHO.

I am a low-rep user, I only review suggested edits, and my humble opinion is based on my level of interaction with the site.

@JasonC I don't think that's possible. You'll still have to manually commit and push.

@nicael I laughed out loud and then deleted all of it ;-)

funny thing was there were ten of them, so why didn't they all get 10 upvotes?

Jason C

7:43 PM

@Shog9 So just to be clear; your problem is that people who frequently explain down-votes are the targets of revenge votes, and you want to reduce this to minimize revenge votes?

Jan Dvorak

Will that help?

Jason C

If you want people to stop explaining downvotes, don't mince words, just make a post that says "stop explaining downvotes" and see where it goes. Blocking "+1" will just change the language to another form.

cVplZ

@JasonC I should probably delete my answer there. Someone mentions comments and regexes of comments, and I just get worked up about allowing more auto nuke's. (which is long over-due) So I forgot about the real question shog had.

Shog9

@JasonC no. My problem is that folks, when told "I downvoted you", frequently react badly to it. Even if the reason for the downvote is explained diplomatically.

Jan Dvorak

Will removing "-1;" help people react better?

Jason C

7:45 PM

@Shog9 Sure. But that's some pretty natural human behavior. You're not going to be able to stop that as long as people are explaining down-votes in some form or another (doesn't matter if it starts with a "-1").

"I downvoted you because..." will get exactly the same reaction.

Shog9

"You shouldn't forget the IGNORE_INSERTS flag because doing so may corrupt data" tends to go over better than "I DOWNVOTE U! You shouldn't forget..."

Jason C

I think you just have to live with people having crap reactions to being downvoted.

Jan Dvorak

I'm with Shog here

Jason C

Sure it goes over better. But I don't see how disallowing "-1" will help that.

Jan Dvorak

why post anything but the reason

Jason C

7:46 PM

Hell, the example you just made wouldn't even be caught by your filter. Your proposal has nothing to do with "I DOWNVOTE U! ..."

Shog9

@JasonC sure. But that's relatively rare compared to "-1".

Jan Dvorak

@JasonC I can't see people resorting to "I downvoted because" when "-1" is forbidden

Unihedron

It's not everyday someone starts their comment with "I DOWNVOTE U", though. My frequent experience is that authors assume people as the downvoters as long as their comment is a criticism and comes within 3 minutes of downvoting.

Jason C

You really need to think your proposal through a little more thoroughly though.

Shog9

As someone mentioned, -1/+1 are... sorta Internet Conventions. Folks do it without thinking. Some do it even when they don't vote.

Jason C

7:47 PM

I mentioned that.

cVplZ

> I've been known to be a bit reactionary after only a few years of wasting time on a problem

Jan Dvorak

most often when I say "-1" I don't actually vote.

Shog9

If you're someone who believes strongly in attributed voting and makes a conscious decision to waive anonymity, fine - your call. But if you're doing it because you've done it for 15 years and don't think about it anymore, I'd like to educate you.

Jason C

But I think your argument is weak, evidenced by the example you just gave. All I'm saying is you need to flesh out that proposal a bit more. Giving you the benefit of the doubt and taking it as a given that it's a problem, your proposal still doesn't solve it.

Bart

Say, I'm I completely off here? Is this really a case of by definition black hat, no chance it's anything else?

7:52 PM

@Shog9 I don't have better suggestions for this proposal because I think it can't be done in the way you suggest. I think you should come up with some better ideas though. Taking it as a given that this is a problem (again, I disagree, but respect your view), your proposal does not solve it. My overall "better suggestion" is to start actively making posts in meta stating that you'd like to discourage folks from relaying that they downvoted. Your only hope here is to change community norms, not to impose filters on comments. — Jason C 20 secs ago

Bart

@Shog9 How about not leading with "comments can't contain that content"? How about pulling the real advice forward? I wonder if in it's current formulation users would still read on beyond the "yeah, you can't do that".

A: How should I handle downvote complaints?

First off, don't own up to the downvote. Don't deny the downvote, don't even mention the downvote. I know, this seems... Sneaky? Underhanded? Perhaps even dishonest? But it's not. Voting is anonymous for a reason, and it's on you, the voter, to keep it that way. If you ignore this advice and so...

Jason C

@Shog9 +1. Good. Linking to that post when the topic comes up in support emails is my suggestion, then.

Shog9

Well, that'd save me the trouble of getting splinters in my palms when closing the barn door after those horses at least.

Unihedron

8:01 PM

@Shog9 So it's official? I should flag "Downvoters: Why??" comments?

If making posts like that doesn't create the cultural shift that you want then you'll just have to accept human behavior as annoying sometimes. The +1/-1 comment thing isn't the way to do it.

A: Is it now discouraged to ask for reasons for downvotes as a comment?

I flag them on sight. IMHO, they are noise at best, and potentially harmful at worst. I've seen instances where a user will write an incorrect, unhelpful, or redundant answer and whine about being down-voted while I'm writing a comment to explain the problem. But worse by far are the answers wh...

The highest-voted comment on any of my posts so far (105 upvotes):

user259867

> +1 Well argued!

Unihedron

Well my stance is that they already denoted what downvoting is for in the help center; If someone deals revenge to downvoting because you posted an unconstructive comment on the post, I guess you've kind of asked for it. When someone revenges for downvote comments even when they're constructive, that's a decent hint you should ignore the hit (of revenge wave) and walk away from them.

Jason C

8:12 PM

@Rafflesiaarnoldii Careful, that's how you get revenge up-votes.

Unihedron

Blocking the cause could be a way to go, but it doesn't discourage criticism, just changes them to a way that causes posters to assume things.

user259867

@JasonC That was directed at me, not posted by me. I don't do +/- things other than actual votes.

Jason C

@Unihedron The example Shog cites in his post is a constructive explanation of a down-vote.
