However, great care must be taken to ensure that the anxiety about maintaining rigor does not create a toxic environment. It's a logical problem, our prefrontal cortex stops functioning in toxic environments, so the anxiety to create rigor can generate a sterile site. | |

| Dec 2, 2021 at 9:25 | comment | added | Polyhat | I did the math earlier today on my own, and came to the same conclusion that I see James Jenkins posted seven years ago: "on Stack Exchange up voters and down voter have exactly the same voice, but at area 51, down voters have 8 times the voice of up voters. It requires 80 people’s votes to move a proposal forward. But it only takes 10 people to completely reverse the up votes of those 80 people." | |
| Dec 2, 2021 at 9:11 | comment | added | Polyhat | +1 Very valid question, one that I wished to ask as well. But is it that downvotes are unlimited or is it that persons who have not "Followed" the proposal have unlimited votes? My perception/misperception? has been that it is the opposers who seem to have enjoyed unlimited voting privilege. For the questions I posed, the downvotes affect my reputation, which doesn't change if the question is deleted. | |
