How does a Phuks user eliminate automatic downvoting of every comment and submission to this site?
In my circumstance downvoting may even affect those who interact with me. Look at my history.
Is there a way to directly contact Admins to address this?
yeah, oops, i meant sort the posts by number of votes over time, but the votes have different values depending on who they came from or ignore votes from people with a high dv/uv ratio.
say like five upvotes from five level one users on a post, that post would be equal to another post with one upvote from a level ten user.
That sounds like a bad idea to me. Overweighting the votes of high-level users (or even users with a low dv/uv ratio) is just going to give people incentive to game a system that is easy to game.
Aside: if you develop a spam problem in future, users who actively try to control spam may be disadvantaged.
yeah, it encourages gaming the system to stay on the frontpage. We would never replace the default hot/new/top with something like that, but it would be fun to create some other sorts based on random things. We might end up accidentally finding a way to detect malicious stuff along the way.
You mean ranks posts based on user level? I don't understand..
