Appreciate the sentiments, matey.
When people outside of this echo chamber are presented with reality, 'new blood' might be just a distant memory of some wishful thinking.
Why you would attack someone who's been actively promoting the place is 'beyond low IQ' behavior.
There's an other side of the coin, to promoting.
The idiots.

Vote != endorsement, but I am not a fan of opinion downvotes at all, if that was indeed the intent here. It is the laziest possible form of disagreement.

Thanks very much for your support in this, and for pointing it out to 'certain people'.

After being notified by @joshman we discussed the downvote. It wasn't personal or anything - sometimes we counter big upvotes by accounts related to spam farms, in this case xeldal. The dv ended up being way higher than that upvote, which shouldn't happen. Lessons have been taken, sorry for the inconvenience!

Can you explain further how the account @xeldal is related to spam farms? I'm still a bit confused by the term being used in a variety of ways, by different users. Or post a link to a good article perhaps that clearly explains the term?

Also, I applaud you for removing the huge down-vote from @curangel and returning with an explanation of the action previously taken.

Which accounts were involved in the 'discussion?'
(transparency, yeah?)

@xeldal upvote's very good content, from my observations.

If you ever have to use the 'should', then you've just lost any legitimacy of position, imo.

....In the name of transparency (and not a defensive fear of being named), I think many hive users would be interested in who thought that it was an action that was warranted...
