| Jul 8, 2009 at 14:56 | comment | added | Zifre | @mmeyers: I don't think it's that hard to not get down votes. When I do get down votes, I usually anticipated it ahead of time. Of course, if you know you are going to get more down votes than up votes, you probably shouldn't post. | |
| Jul 4, 2009 at 5:30 | comment | added | womp | @John Pirie - for those badges you mentioned, "poster whim" aggregates over time though. Having a "no downvotes" criteria would really harm the Quality badge concept. I've seen people come into a question and downvote every single answer for no discernible reason. It also opens the potential badge earner to easy sabotage. | |

| Jun 30, 2009 at 14:40 | comment | added | user95071 | @mmyers: unquestionably true. But most badges are earned on poster whim: Famous Question, Great Answer, Populist; anything that's vote- or view-based. This would just be the first that incorporated a down-vote factor. | |
| Jun 29, 2009 at 19:20 | comment | added | mmyers | Hard I can understand (and I'm in favor of), but there's no way to control downvotes. Those two downvotes were both on answers to ambiguously-worded questions; the downvoters apparently had a different interpretation than I did. | |
| Jun 29, 2009 at 18:02 | comment | added | user95071 | @mmyers: not sure exactly what the metrics should be for Quality badge, but it should be hard to earn | |
| Jun 29, 2009 at 17:32 | comment | added | mmyers | Isn't the Big Day basically a Jon Skeet badge? I don't think he's ever failed to hit the cap. As a one-time-only bronze badge, it might be useful, though, since it would stop new users from asking "Why didn't I get rep from my last three upvotes?" | |
