Collecting LessWrong voting norms discussions (parent index)
What’s something you believe, that would get negative Karma if earnestly expressed in a normal LessWrong conversation?
Topic: Karma-dependent voting
May I suggest that length of comment should factor significantly into the choice to up/downvote?
One problem I have with hesitation to downvote is that some mediocre comments are necessary.
This post is great, but is is really 427 upvotes great? To me its more like 140 upvotes great.

For quick takes, people should be more conservative about downvoting beyond approx. −4
Do you vote based on what you think total karma should be?
I liked your post, but did not upvote it. I think a fair valuation of that post is 35 karma. (Thread rooted from this comment)
people are trying to assign an integer value to a post that is something outside of the range [-1,1] and then adjust their vote to affect a post’s score toward their chosen value
habryka: I frequently rescue random comments and posts that clearly accidentally triggered someone in a way that doesn’t seem like it should result in being downvoted.
habryka: I often remove my strong-upvote when the comment then later on gets upvoted by other people.
I think it is fine to conditional upvote if you want to promote a post but don’t want to reward the author. (I just upvoted this shortform and I probably wouldn’t if it is 15+)
