RE: Is there a more useless metric than reputation?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I don't know much about this, but thought a possible value of this would be to restrict downvoting to those with xx (40ish?) amount of reputation just to keep the spammers and those disruptors from downvoting until they had spent enough time to weed out the ones created just to cause trouble. While it may not have a significant impact on folks, it can be very demoralizing to newbies to see the post they worked hard on downvoted by these troublemakers. Not sure how else it has or could be used, but tossing out an idea.

Yeah, some people get up in arms about the nothing downvotes - I think it is because many don't understand the staking mechanisms or the trolling nature of some people online. The problem with having a rep limitation is that there is actually markets out there to buy and sell accounts - weird eh? :D
Yes, didn't know about those markets or how the rep limit would interfere, but TMI, lol. I don't want to get that deep into it. I do enough technical diving for the day job, this is for entertainment and enjoyment. Thanks for the response!
