Jan 25, 2019 at 6:39 comment added Massimo Ortolano @Catija Do you realise that some of us really don't like the way in which IPS is moderated and would rather not see it being taken as a model for other sites?
Jan 23, 2019 at 17:44 comment added jscs This is probably tangential at this point, but I strongly disagree that the other two answers that were already present have the same meaning as Rosinante's. In fact, one of them seems to be saying nearly the opposite to me, and the other one is just kind of waffly. I do think that Kevin B's answer (which happened before Catija's edit) restored that missing viewpoint.
Jan 23, 2019 at 17:01 comment added Catija StaffMod @Mari-LouA When she says "highly upvoted" in relation to IPS ... she means posts with often +100 score after only a week. The mods there, myself included, have often made the decision to remove such answers. Something being well-received doesn't make it meet the site's policies. Something having a ton of upvotes doesn't necessarily mean it's should be retained for posterity. So, the good intentions assumption here is that Tinkeringbell has had many discussions about deleting highly-voted posts on IPS and overlooked including the score because 100+ is what "highly-voted" means to her.
Jan 23, 2019 at 13:43 comment added Mari-Lou A Слава Україні @ChristianRau conveniently omitted is the number. Any post that accumulates over 25 upvotes is highly upvoted, but one that has earned 196 upvotes in over 6 years, deserves some respect, even if we/some disagree with its premise or its conclusion. Isn't that what the downvote is for?
Jan 23, 2019 at 13:10 comment added Christian Rau It's not really "conveniently omitted", seeing how her first point adresses exactly that.
Jan 23, 2019 at 13:03 comment added Mari-Lou A Слава Україні Conveniently omitted from your post are the 196 upvotes versus the 9 downvotes (to date) it received during the nearly seven years it was up. Is the maxim: "Good answers are voted up and rise to the top" now to be taken with a pinch of salt? Don't worry, you're not the first nor will you be the last mod to delete a highly upvoted and popular post, it happens on every site.
