Re^3: Can I please have multiple downvotes per (certain monk's) posts.

that's not how a democracy works

Democracy is not a good model for how this site works.

I like the idea of having the site explicitly support multiple use/view modes -- one for "I want to see everything, so I can join in the delicious hot mess of "social networking" as manifested in perlmonks", and one for "I want to learn Perl or help others learn Perl in a low-noise environment". Maybe others. This wouldn't really be hard to implement.

I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.

I like the idea of having the site explicitly support multiple use/view modes What mode do you suggest for a certain monk's posts? How not to ... Everything you never wanted to know and didn't ask. Antique IT: It'll come back to haunt you. Again and again and again... Inapplicable lessons from the punch card era. A typographer's nightmares. Spit, Pileosh-it, reuse it. Comedy Corner. Other ... With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I'm with torvalds on this In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. Agile (and TDD) debunked Spit, Pileosh-it, reuse.	[reply]

In general, those would be visible in the "wide open / hot mess" mode. You would probably want to choose a different mode.	[reply]
