| Apr 30, 2014 at 22:23 | comment | added | Bruno | @Shog9, downvotes on meta are very different. I only downvote answers on the main SO when I know they're factually wrong, misleading or simply of poor quality. 8 people disagreeing with an idea on Meta can happen quite easily. (To be honest, I only came to visit this question after getting on comment on my other related question, more about deletion, with a specific example that's clearly been treated unfairly.) | |
| Apr 30, 2014 at 22:11 | comment | added | Shog9 Mod | Votes have an additional meaning on Meta, @Bruno. Which is to say, in addition to downvotes meaning "not useful", they can also mean "I disagree". But there are an awful lot of posts that still fall into the normal category. This change makes an allowance for the rather more frequent use of voting on meta sites, for any reason - but it doesn't preclude the use of votes for their usual purpose, and if you find your answer turning grey I suspect you'll be able to tell which reason is behind those votes. | |
| Apr 30, 2014 at 21:52 | comment | added | Bruno | I still don't see the point of this on Meta at all (since it votes have a different meaning on Meta). Being at the bottom of the list should be a sufficient "punishment" on the Meta sites. If you don't want to read those answers, simply don't scroll as far down. | |
