So about that answering closed questions... the answers I dislike most are worthless commentary on an unanswerable question, they typically come from low-rep users, and make the Q&A pair more difficult to get rid of.

@soup Dare I suggest asking that on Meta?

Meh-ta. I'm mostly out of that thing.

I think it's a reasonable idea. Or, instead of a close vote, a downvote (score -1) - those are much more publicly visible.

I don't know what the common usages for the terms are, I just interpret our org chat. Which by the way isn't very deep, so if you're a manager of managers, you're already pretty high up (or way on the bottom, if you go with the upside-down org chart narrative)

@AaronHall Fix what? I see a post with a 7600 score and 550 bounty points above a post with a 78 score.
shakes fist at @ShadowWizard
1:35 PM
Great minds..... LOL
@Andy Mr. Hall thinks that since his answer gains upvotes faster, it should be first.
There was whole discussion here the other day.
2 days ago, by Aaron Hall
We've got to improve the sorting algorithm.
@Andy start here ^
I think I was involved there. At least I remember such a discussion recently
So that was it. Don't think @Aaron means anything different this time, though I might be wrong.
I'm going to disagree that a post that has nearly 10 times more votes should be bumped down a notch.
Quick math also shows the highest upvoted post gets .31 votes per day over its life time and the lower scoring one gets .21 votes per day over its life time.
There is a difference of 6.5 years between them though
@Andy the point on Aaron is, that the top answer got most of its votes in its early days, and in the the last year the rate is very low. Let's see the timeline...
hmm... according to this the top answer still get upvotes daily. More than Aaron's.
This is a different Q&A.
However, rank contributes to votes.
1:46 PM
@AaronHall So you say "put my answer on top because it is better"?
so if we fixed ranking, that answer's score would be higher.
Who decides it's better?
Also, those individual timelines should be easier to find.

1:48 PM
Look, stop focusing on my work. Focus on the problem. The problem is that late answers can easily be better than answers with 100s of upvotes. The only way to gauge it is to include a hotness factor in ranking.
means "maybe in 6-8 years, probably never". So it won't happen. :(
@AaronHall but you keep bringing your own work as example. Personally I don't really care... just observing my general opinions.
It's the most obvious examples to me. But I'm sure there's lots of other examples.
You can't just grep for "best answer"
The real solution to that specific case is just edit the current top answer to be full and correct, in my opinion.
If you really only care about content and not reputation, that will work just fine.
It's not community wiki, and the answerer would probably object to a complete rewrite. And I would object if you attributed my content to someone else.
You could always propose a new answer filter based on "hotness". But I guess such a proposal already exists, and I don't think it should replace default filtering.
1:52 PM
Where's the proposal?
Dunno. I merely would be surprised if there isn't one already
@AaronHall, The problem with this question is that there are 40 answers on this question. I am certainly not going to read through even half of that. Especially when the two answers we are talking about right now are as long as they are. I'm going to look at the scores, see the top one has a score of 7600 and bounties and the second answer is less than 1000. Both of those are HUGE scores. There is nothing in the top answer's comment section even pointing at your answer. I'd never get to it.
Search and you will find. And if not, propose.
@AaronHall I guess that's what @Bart means:
-13
Q: New Sort: "Popularity" (Votes / Views)

Briguy37The Problem for Answers: Suppose a new question comes in and has 20 views on it before the first answer is submitted. The first answer is decent, so when the question hits 520 views it has 10 votes, or 1 vote for every 50 views. Also, several other answers have been submitted, but they aren't...

Your answer may be better. But, even with the answers rearranged, I'd see the scores and wonder why an 80 score answer is above answers in the hundreds and thousands of votes
It may bias me negatively toward the lower scored answer in this case due to the vast differences between them too
1:55 PM
What's going to happen is I'm going to stop contributing content and I'm going to write a book instead.
I still buy books. :) If you write one, let us know. I may be a geek, but I love getting a nice new technical book
Instead of 'oldest', I think 'newest' is a better sort for answers.
No, people write too many crap new answers.
"too many" is an understatement
I want the best answers at the top, as measured by recent velocity.
1:58 PM
Ok then, how about 'random' sort so there's no preference at all. The burden to judge the quality of the answer is on the reader now.
(well, it's actually already on the reader, but many readers are lazy to read too)
Too many schite answers.
And nobody downvotes.
And even then I wonder if anyone actually ever changes the default sorting anyway.
Who cares, the best option right now is the default.
But I want the answer with the most votes in the past month-to-year to be on top.
the votes it got before a year ago are irrelevant to me.
anyways, gotta catch a train, cheers!

@All, different question: I have never noticed someone going on an upvote spree on me. I think I've had one (maybe two?) instance(s) of downvote sprees (I try to not provoke people). Would I notice if someone did go on an upvote spree?
same way you notice a downvote spree: lots of single upvotes on different questions in a short period of time.
upvote sprees are also liable to be reversed the same as downvote sprees
4:05 PM
I've never noticed a reversal
so that means it never happened?
or it happened and reversed in between times you looked at your inbox
Yeah, that's what makes me wonder. Sometimes I'll have two votes in quick succession.
two in a row is nothing.
that often happens from people clicking on the related questions links.
But it's never like 3 in quick succession.
Could just be because it's a random Poisson process...
Probability of one upvote between now and end of day is ~ 1. Probability of one upvote in the next hour is around .3-.5 or so.
The simplifying assumption is that the process has no memory, and that's good enough for the model, but there's some memory...
4:28 PM
@AaronHall those who have been around longer are probably aware that 2 votes usually don't trigger anything. But it may well be a coincidence
If it's totally random, then 3 should be happening once in a while.
which makes me think 2 upvotes (with the 2nd on a different unrelated answer, usually one of my top ones) in quick succession are likely related. (Probability anywhere from .2 to .8, frog knows...)
But I never see "-10, vote removed due to something something"
So either nothing out of the ordinary happened, or nothing was extreme enough to trigger the filter.
Ah, so that message can show up?

Then you sort by votes, and let me sort by recent votes.
I could probably write a user script to do this, huh?

Q: Code Golf SE answer sorter

Ilmari Karonen Screenshot About This script adds a "shortest" tab to pages on the Programming Puzzles & Code Golf Stack Exchange site. Clicking the tab will sort answers in decreasing order by the length of the first code block in the answer. It was written as a simple replacement for the original cod...

The problem with that is it would have to load the post timelines in the background, parse them, then display the answers...
In a decade, if this site is still hopping, this is going to be a feature. Mark my words.

I'm a bit disappointed that after this it turns out I had one down vote too many to actually rep-cap :(
My stupid loss-aversion optimizer prefers to avoid rep-capping, even though I rationally know I'd be better off rep-capping than not.
We're only human.

@rene That's what happens when you voice these things... better luck next time.

Are you claiming the downvote?
:D
I've been giving my kitty antibiotics all this week.
@hichris123 yeah, I'll use more socks next time .... for a larger margin
@rene See, now you're learning.
sockpuppets for meta...
that's when you really have too much time on your hands.

@balpha: Good luck with your new post.
So what's changed?

Instead of being misunderstood by the compiler, I now get to be misunderstood by the developers. So it's really just adding a layer of abstraction. ;)
communicate entirely in regex. that should help

I've just heard a nasty rumor that balpha is leaving stack exchange. I know you'll still be around, but I'll miss you all the same! — Adam Davis 2 hours ago
You might want to correct that rumor.
Meh. A moderator named CasperOne used to camp the newest page and single vote close off topic questions all the time. It was great. All it did was allow users with genuine questions more of an opportunity to get their question answered by someone actually taking their time. 5 Gold Tag badge users voting to close a question from a 1 reputation user that has a -6 score is a freaking awful waste of time; the cost of those close votes is very high at that point. — Travis J 1 hour ago
@Travis, that's an excellent example. Why is Casper not a moderator anymore? Why are they far less active on Meta than they used to be? Why were they the first (and almost only) moderator I regularly saw taking tremendous amounts of flak from everywhere at once? Their diamond did not protect them. Us gold badge holders don't even have one. — Frédéric Hamidi 37 mins ago
Yeah, Casper took a lot of flak on Meta. Though that's probably not good enough to draw any conclusions...

@hichris123 did you say you liked this answer? meta.stackexchange.com/a/279700/239121
Mmm... well I kinda agreed with Shog that it didn't quite go far enough. Not many questions get downvoted heavily, most just end up with -1 or -2.
didn't go far enough...
ok, make it a one to one tradeoff.
@hichris123 responded
developer > product manager?
Is that a "greater than" or a "turns into"?
