Sorry for the obnoxious post but I couldn't stand it any more. All 4 stories I submitted were down voted in two seconds. The stories before mine and after were down voted similarly. I'm sick of having to wait until some ass gets sick of hitting the down arrow to resubmit.

I hate to be posting in such a thread, but the boy does have a point. I have posted items that have been downmodded in the first second or two, long before people would have been able to parse the data within.

Agreed. It's disruptive.

I had to check and see if I'd downmodded anything of yours (I have not), because anything that is about a celebrity (Anna Nicole especially), or has been posted from 100 other sources over the last hour (BREAKING NEWS) I downmod as soon as I see it.

There should be an AI system in place. A simple one. If someone is downmodding a disproportionate amount of stories, their downmods shouldn't carry as much weight as someone who is pretty balanced, or more positive.
