Overzealous down-moderators!

Journal by wjwlsn

I'm seeing a lot of unwarranted (IMO) down-moderation lately, mostly on posts that express a minority opinion or that question a majority opinion (judging minority/majority based on discussion context). As a result, there are many posts ranked -1 or 0 that probably deserve higher scores.

I'd like to remind moderators that you're supposed to "Concentrate more on promoting than demoting". In the meantime, I'm going to spend all my mod points on posts that I think have been modded down unfairly. I encourage others to consider spending some mod points in this fashion as well.

    And it should be very clearly explained why the "agree"/"disagree" system is completely separate from the moderation system.

    And the very first time you are allocated mod points, you should be forced to click that you understand the moderation guidelines.
