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.
we talked about making a new sort that ranks the votes based on the user levels. It's a super intensive query and needs a bunch of caching to store all the active users and what their levels are every few mins/hours.
