Feb 12, 2014 at 13:35 comment added user221081 @gnat, I think this system would have to be more complicated as you don't want to see people go around downvoting ( further: delete, etc) just to earn a badge.
Feb 12, 2014 at 13:32 comment added gnat @mehow proposed badge would help profile readers understand the voting pattern (FWIW at Programmers I'd have about 3xPale Horse Riders, so I am having sort of vested interest in it)
Feb 12, 2014 at 13:27 comment added user221081 @gnat maybe somehow related but I don't agree it's a duplicate
Feb 12, 2014 at 13:26 comment added gnat possible duplicate of A badge that rewards "prophetic" downvoting
Feb 12, 2014 at 8:15 comment added gnat @LowerClassOverflowian here's programmers.stackexchange.com/users/31260/gnat for you: 24,198 down, 4,434 up

Feb 11, 2014 at 22:06 comment added user221081 @Arjan oh everyone knows what i meant but yes technically youre correct
Feb 11, 2014 at 19:54 comment added Arjan I know it's just a detail, but just curious if I'm failing the simple math: "Some simple math: 1385 - x = 681, makes x = 704 downvotes against 1215 upvotes." Shouldn't that read: 704 deleted downvotes? And why compare that to that 1215 upvotes? Shouldn't you compare 681 against that number...?
Feb 11, 2014 at 17:52 comment added Wooble @LowerClassOverflowian: you should see how many close votes I've cast.
Feb 11, 2014 at 17:29 comment added Flexo - Save the data dump Mod Personally I wish more people used downvotes more often. It's an important signal.

Feb 11, 2014 at 16:01 comment added CRABOLO Now this is a guy I will definitely consider voting for. stackoverflow.com/users/110707/wooble 15,000 down , 2000 up
Feb 11, 2014 at 16:00 comment added Andrew Barber Mod Just to add to the notes about down voting, Check out my record. A number of people commented positively on that when I nominated. I'll also echo what is said above about the general flack one would get as a moderator.
Feb 11, 2014 at 15:59 comment added Andrew Barber Mod @RichardTingle I believe Eric himself said that up-vote was an accident. hehe.
Feb 11, 2014 at 15:59 comment added user213963 @RichardTingle legend has it he tried to downvote Jon Skeet, but the universe converted it to an upvote.
Feb 11, 2014 at 15:54 comment added Richard Tingle @EsotericScreenName I really want to know which the one blessed post was

Feb 11, 2014 at 15:48 comment added Esoteric Screen Name Check out this user's up:down voting ratio.
Feb 11, 2014 at 15:38 comment added bmike Three things make me think you could be a good moderator. 1) Self awareness is a big factor in being able to function effectively 2) Seeing your actions as others see them is also critical to minimizing the feathers you will ruffle and weathering the first few times you make a hard call and mess it up 3) Knowing to look deeper than a simple stat - if you happened to find and vote for 3000 bad questions or harmful answers and also commented positively - that's a win for the site no matter the ratio of up to down. Best of luck either way - vote with compassion is the only rule.
Feb 11, 2014 at 15:32 comment added CRABOLO @mehow I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE MORE DOWNVOTES THAN UPVOTES TO BE ELECTED TO A MODERATOR. IT SHOULD BE A REQUIREMENT, JUST LIKE HAVE THOSE 4 BADGES. People who have 10 to 1, 5 to 1 upvote - downvote ratios, should not be mods. People who suggest otherwise, DO NOT know what they are talking about, and have a wrong impression of the site and of a user's and moderators role.
Feb 11, 2014 at 15:16 comment added user221081 @JeremyBanks good link. I do agree with the general idea - what I am trying to do is to make people more aware of THAT. If the not-so-nice comments were the only factor I wouldn't have withdrew my nomination and probably keep on fighting - (more like defending myself) - against the authors of negative comments trying to make them more aware of how to interpret the numbers related to voting. The comment section is not designed for that purpose so I pass
Feb 11, 2014 at 15:08 comment added Richard Tingle Ignoring the fact that you were amoung the candidates I was planning on voting for anyway; a strict eye for quality and a near even up/down numbers would make you a better candidate in my eyes

Feb 11, 2014 at 15:08 comment added Jeremy See “Votes cast” should include votes on deleted contributions. This behaviour was asked-for; users wanted to be credited their downvotes on later-deleted posts. It would be misleading if they weren't included!
Feb 11, 2014 at 15:07 comment added Servy It's worth noting that mods get a lot of flak for being in their position, even when doing everything right. Clearly you don't have a thick enough skin to deal with it. Better to know that now than later.
Feb 11, 2014 at 15:06 comment added Servy You think you have a lot of downvotes...
