| Aug 6, 2013 at 16:32 | comment | added | user39434 | What, you mean to say I can't improve upon their reputation? | |
| May 23, 2013 at 6:38 | comment | added | badp Mod | @OrigamiRobot So why do we compare reputation numbers to arbitrary goalposts, or even each other? The site does this all over the place and things breaks down when you "hit a goldmine." Sure, the reputation cap is a bandaid, but it doesn't fix the distortion. | |
| May 23, 2013 at 3:14 | comment | added | user9983 | @EBongo It doesn't matter if people do that. It's still wrong. | |
| May 23, 2013 at 2:38 | comment | added | EBongo | @badp I agree. It's probably another whole discussion, but its a fact that while good questions tend to get upvotes, and bad questions tend to get downvotes, the relative amount they get is fairly inconsistent, yet as humans we want to compare them. | |
| May 23, 2013 at 2:29 | comment | added | EBongo | @murgatroid99 In theory I totally agree. In practice I think few of even the most seasoned users ask a question, get -8, and look at it as 8 isolated reviews. It looks and feels a lot more like a coordinated action of folks ganging up. | |

| May 21, 2013 at 22:48 | comment | added | user27134 | @murgatroid99 agreed, this is very much at the core of the problem I think. | |
| May 21, 2013 at 16:07 | comment | added | murgatroid99 | @badp Theoretically, though, your votes should be independent of others'. The real question should not be "does this answer deserve to be at -8?" It should be "does this answer deserve a -1 from me?" | |
| May 21, 2013 at 9:14 | comment | added | badp Mod | Dunno about the post score. At some point, you do have to wonder if this answer is really worth a -8 or a 52 score and if it really does need another bump either way. That question, for example, is rather famous but hardly worthy of a score of 212 if you asked me. I honestly doubt we have 212 users on the site who play Nethack to begin with. | |
| May 21, 2013 at 0:22 | comment | added | user9983 | @LessPop_MoreFizz I included the tag because mistagging a question can make it unclear. We downvote unclear questions. | |
| May 21, 2013 at 0:20 | comment | added | LessPop_MoreFizz | Eeeehh, I'd put the tag in the red box. But, since you've given me tacit permission, I'm off to blanket down vote all team-fortress-2 questions. Anonymously. | |
