Sep 11, 2008 at 15:22 comment added Pollyanna Once we get out of beta yo'll see far less than 10% of the viewers voting. It would be great if everyone voted often for all good answers, but it's either human nature or culture that we really only vote up the best one if it's currently an underdog, or really exceptional - votes are scarce. -Adam
Sep 11, 2008 at 15:02 comment added sdfx True, that is probably what jeff had in mind, but if downvoting had no negative effect on your reputation you could use it that way. Btw: 800 views and only ~60 votes on the answers? Are they all bad, or does the general user only vote on really good stuff? Why not encourage them to vote a lot?
Sep 11, 2008 at 14:51 comment added Pollyanna Just a preference, but I think downvotes should only be used for incorrect or misleading answers. Upvotes should be used to push the cream up, and ownvotes to push the rotten items down, but I wouldn't want people to downvote a question when it applies just because it's not as good as another...
