RE: Will it rain downvotes?
i think retaliation should be dealt with on a programming level.
it is super easy to spot, we could have a user report system (most know immediately after it happens), and folks that do it lose rights/abilities if they do it for a duration of time.
right now, there is no punishment, because those that have it happen too are often far to small of fish to make the waves necessary (and often downvoted anyway) to gain visibility and traction.
fulltimegeek saved my account, to bad he seems to be gone.. i made waves, but it wasn't easy, and I don't know that most would know how.
He is auto-spamming comments at the moment. Pity.
Sounds a lot like centralized authority :)
I think with the right incentive, the community will have a chance to dal with it organically. Right now, that incentive is a high cost.
