| Sep 16, 2014 at 15:48 | comment | added | Bob | Looks like the final action taken was a reduction of question upvotes to the current value of 5. | |
| Sep 16, 2014 at 15:47 | comment | added | Art Gertner | Thanks for a link, @Bob , I am not registered on global meta, so when I was doing my search before asking the question - I did not see this thread. | |
| Sep 16, 2014 at 15:43 | comment | added | Bob | This has been discussed before, and the final decision was no, for the reasons listed there. That was five years ago, so perhaps it is worth a revisit, but I believe this is a network-wide issue and likely not best addressed on a site-specific meta. | |
| Sep 16, 2014 at 15:42 | comment | added | Art Gertner | That was exactly what I was suggesting. We can expect higher quality answers from experienced users and even though we cannot reach the perfection we should always aim for it. This would put a bit more pressure on experienced users to provide high quality posts while being relatively soft with newbies. | |
| Sep 16, 2014 at 15:39 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek Mod | Wouldn't that penalise people with more rep (and in theory a better idea how the site works) more for a downvote? What's the benefit of this over a flat vote penalty? | |
