Topic: Karma-dependent voting (parent index)
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+)
