Paleo Diet and Paleolithic Diet Questions & Answers

Question

7

My upvote/downvote ratio is 1696/9, which makes it 188.9/1.

What does this say about you? Is this in line with your outlook on humanity/paleo/life?

I ran out of upvotes for the day, or I would upvote you both! – Futureboy Nov 29 2011 at 18:53

I did it for you, Futurboy. – Nance Nov 29 2011 at 19:04

how do you see the ratio - or get a count of up/down votes? – Dave S. Nov 29 2011 at 20:05

Dave, go to your profile page and scroll down past the "Answers" section. – Paleo2.0 Nov 29 2011 at 20:14

Sometimes I'm tempted to down-vote every post that doesn't bother to use capitalization or punctuation. But now that I can edit, I guess the kinder thing would be to fix them, but there just isn't enough time in the day for that, so I do neither. – Aaron B. Dec 2 2011 at 13:12

"What does this say about you?"

Since there are many possible reasons for upvoting, downvoting, voting or not voting, the isolated statistic probably does not say much about you.

However, the mods will be looking closely at user profiles over the holidays in order to create "naughty" and "nice" lists.

506 up, 4 down. I don't down-vote just because I disagree, but because I think a person's been mean or rude.

now that I "know" you better, i would just have made a caustic comment and left it at that... :) – gydle Nov 29 2011 at 21:04

I'm the same way, Nance. I only downvote if the answer is rude or potentially dangerous. – Kewpie Nov 29 2011 at 22:27

@sage, you really don't qualify as rude--sorry if that disappoints you. :-)) For me to down-vote you have to be "kick a sick dog" mean. – Nance Nov 29 2011 at 22:29

I've only downvoted a few times and only when I thought the advice was completely contrary to paleo/primal and/or potentially dangerous.

	Very nice! That's commendable. – Futureboy Dec 1 2011 at 5:29
	i don't think of it as being virtuous. its just that i don't believe i am enlightened enough to cast negativity on anothers' thoughts. thank you – sage_ Dec 1 2011 at 10:41
	Apparently I haven't either. I thought I'd down-voted an obvious troll at least once, but maybe I flagged it instead. Oh well, something to look forward to. (I do think I'm enlightened enough to cast negativity on another's thoughts, but usually I just don't care enough.) – Aaron B. Dec 2 2011 at 13:09

My one year old downvoted someone once. I felt bad about it, because I actually totally agreed with the answer in question, but it was too late to change my vote by the time I discovered it.

You can always change your vote! Just click the upvote again and your vote will be gone. If you want to see a real-time demonstration, I'm rapidly vacillating between upvoting and not voting on your answer right now. – Kamal♦ Nov 29 2011 at 23:27

Wait, K, I think there's a time limit. – Paul Nov 29 2011 at 23:47

Yes, you can only change it within a certain timeframe. I didn't notice the downvote until after that timeframe had passed. – jess6 Nov 30 2011 at 1:10

Ratio is 365:1
1823 up votes 5 down votes
Each down vote was someone being mean to another person. Now I just flag the post.

Great question.
