| Aug 31, 2017 at 22:56 | comment | added | Cort Ammon | @Hamlet Almost in their rights. The StackExchange engine does have processes which identify "drive by downvoting" and reverse them. If the process one uses to downvote fits into their drive-by-downvoting algorithm, the system will undo it. | |
| Jul 26, 2017 at 2:38 | comment | added | user288 | @Casebash if 2/3 of the current answers are unhelpful, then this site is in a bad place, and you need to fix it, fast. But again, voting and leaving comments is not a question of policy. Other than not targeting specific community members, there are no restrictions on how you can vote. So if someone wants to downvote and leave constructive comments on 2/3 of the answers on this site, it is within their right to do so. | |
| Jul 26, 2017 at 2:36 | comment | added | Zizouz212 | @Casebash If it would make a better site, is there something wrong with that? | |
| Jul 26, 2017 at 2:35 | comment | added | Casebash | This policy would make people start down voting 2/3 of current answers | |
| Jul 26, 2017 at 2:34 | comment | added | user288 | @Casebash the only change this answer argues for is that people should consider downvoting and leaving constructive comments on answers that aren't helpful to readers. As far as I'm aware, that's something that should be happening on every Stack Exchange site. If that's not happening here, and if it's a "radical change" to suggest leaving comments on unhelpful answers, well, then quite frankly this site should be shut down. | |
| Jul 26, 2017 at 2:29 | comment | added | Casebash | No, only every time you want to radically change current practise on a site. | |
| Jul 26, 2017 at 2:27 | comment | added | HDE 226868 | @Casebash I was kinda hoping that this post could establish such a consensus. | |
| Jul 26, 2017 at 2:26 | comment | added | user288 | @Casebash and meta isn't about "winning". | |

| Jul 26, 2017 at 2:23 | comment | added | user288 | @Casebash so I need to go to meta any time I want to leave a comment suggesting a way to improve an answer? | |
| Jul 26, 2017 at 0:57 | comment | added | Casebash | -1 because consensus is necessary. That said, I'd say that you've almost won the consensus battle. | |
