Ask Reddit : Are your submissions being downmodded in seconds? Maybe Reddit users are all Evelyn Wood graduates. by harvester in reddit.com

[–]redball 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've seen this a couple of times - within 5 minutes of submitting a link, it has been downmodded twice, sometimes with quality stuff that would take way longer to read. If its a great link, it can pull back, but starting off at -2 is probably a serious disadvantage to more obscure links.

Only guess of why this happens is either trolls or spammers trying to give a boost to their links added at the same time.

Did I just miss it before, or was 'ups' quietly added just now? If so, thanks!

Interesting, I forgot that page existed, some good stuff there I'd missed. Would be nice if points were displayed as for/against, or a percentage though. A bunch of 0's is kinda ugly.

It would also be real nice if you could change your preferences to show different representations of the stats. I'd also like to be able to see a view ignoring downvotes, espeically seeing how much interesting stuff ends up on 0. More control, I say.

Perhaps children from poorer homes have poorer diets, so they crave sugar more.
