I have seen some mods ban swathes of users with excessively negative voting records, encouraging them to curate their feed instead. I think the ratios were closer to 95% downvotes than the 2:1 you suggest, but the example stands. :)
In my initial consideration of this problem I was thinking just ban the users, but that doesn't feel like the best solution to me. I think that not allowing users to pass that 2:1 ratio in the first place is a better solution for everyone. Also, as I'm sure you understand, the exact ratio is less important than the idea of limiting downvote predominant users.
Pretty sure I was making a wording related home but I forgot what I wrote
Oh well
Edit oh I remember, it was relating how mods demand "positive" behavior, to the misogynistic phrase "smile more" normally directed at a woman, from a power wielding man trying to elicit a response
It's funny that I got deleted while literally calling out bad behavior but hey, their house, their rules
Edit edit a user has the up and downvote buttons. If a board doesn't like that, they should change visibility. I believe beehaw does
Ensuring users can't only leave negative feedback has nothing to do with sexual harassment. I can see the contrived connection you made after reading the explanation but it was not nearly strong enough to leave that comment without context. Even with context it's merely an inappropriate connection.
You think humans are counting the numbers on paper? You write code for that. And what I'm saying is that there is no value in votes from those that see fit to predominantly downvote. This isn't a matter of freedom, the platform isn't aspiring to be a government.
