RE: Introducing downvote control tool, an open source downvote tool
I have come back and re-read this post - I was planning to and then we all got forked ;)
I said in my earlier comment that I liked this idea and I really endorse these suggestions:
- Whitelist : do not downvote if the user is on it
- Bidbotted percentage : downvote only if bidbots represent x% of the payout
- Number of words/characters, only downvote if the post has less than x words/characters
I particularly like the last one - with the caveat that if it's a photography post, the words/characters may be few, but there does need to be an explanation of the image(s).
However, I'm not sure I understand this one:
- minimum payout : only downvote if the post has reached x$ of potential payout
I'd be glad if you could explain this in more detail.
Many thanks
Fiona
Thanks for coming back :)
Here's an example to explain minimum payout, let's say you set the minimum payout to 20$. Then you will only downvote posts that have a payout that's higher than 20$. This is done so that you don't downvote "small abuse" or "small bidboting" where you downvote a guy with 50 cents payout. I think it's better to go for the people who are earning a lot by abusing and then go for the lower ones.
Edit : upvoting to un-hide myself
Thank you @howo. That's very helpful.
