In reddit, people will mainly vote down post that they
disagree. What is needed is to separate community
agreement indicator with democratic moderation.
An approach is to place another set of arrows, but that
clutters up the screen... instead:
What should be done to alleviate this effect
somewhat,
is to use normal vote up and down to indicate voting
based on opinion. And double voting to indicate
opinion+report
If there is a particularly odious post that deserves to be
hidden, then you can double vote down a post. This will
count
as both a "negative karma" and "troll points"
Single vote: increments karma points
Double vote: increments karma+troll points
---
Effects: This does allow for post that the community
really do disagree with, but is not breaking the rules.

Except the people downvoting based on opinion don't think
they're doing so, and would just double downvote
automatically since anyone who disagrees with them is
obviously wrong. |
|
| |
Then that is somewhat off setting by people double
upvoting. |
|
| |
I think most people don't care enough to double
downvote. They just want to indicate if they
agree/disagree . |
|
| |
Surely people on the internet are not spiteful carp of
fishes? |
|
| |
This will only feed the downvoting trolls. And it is the opposite of computer ergonomics to assign more than one function to one action. |
|
| |
Aren't they the little purplish ones, a bit like blueberries ? |
|
| |
Who am I to say who's trolling? Half the time the "troll" isn't even aware that they're a troll. Actual trolls are best dealt with factually. |

[-] because I don't think this idea is sound. Heavily boned ideas grab attention, which is what (some) trolls apparently seek...wait a minute...maybe you're trolling us with this idea <side-eye>. |
|
| |
Most online commmunities have a "flag" function of some kind: here it's "mfd", elsewhere it's "mark as inappropriate" and the like. |
|

I like this idea but it does not go far enough. If a
voter feels strongly enough about a post, one should
be able to purchase extra down arrows to make that
clear to all. Sheaves of arrows. I think it the US
anyway, the Citizens United case makes clear that
this is right and proper. |

I'm also in favor of the stack overflow model -- with that
model, troll posts get pushed down and off the page. |
