Yeah.
I think the account you mentioned may be a bot... not sure. If it’s a bot, then there must be some kind of trigger for it to downvote.
The problem is, if that bot or account is downvoting based on a post bot meeting certain criteria... well, what is that criteria?
It would seem to me that there would be more value should the flag be accompanied by specific feedback on the reasoning behind it.
Like I just replied on someone else’s comment, a cybernetic system requires feedback. Up and/down votes are not sufficient feedback for the system.
Engagement is more than just a vote in any direction.
We need to bring the human element more.
Code doesn’t change human behaviour, humans do.
