If a server has a really stale cache, do the other servers downvote it?

No, they mock it and make sarcastic comments.

Yes I actually understood that EXE files was not allowed when using the submit form
Have now used the submit form, thank you for the help.

This message has 3 downvotes and was automatically removed. This one, however, has about 13 14 downvotes (presumably votes to remove, though I'm not sure there is a difference) and has still not been removed.
Is this a bug, is the reputation of the voter to remove a factor, or are people voting 1 rather than voting to remove?

sure there is, 1-to-5 means "this is very_bad/bad/so_so/good/very_good, and I want it to stay".

I don't know, the feature has limited observability, I'm unfamiliar with the theoretical aspects, and I just don't have any experience in this matter.
BTW: you were collecting some ones here too, I felt a need to counter, can't have you turn red everywhere.

Yeah, I got 2 downvotes, one gave me -2 and one gave me -4 reputation. I suspect they are from the account and corresponding troll account that downvoted my article (the -4 coming from the more established account and the -2 coming from the duplicate account used for trolling).

Still not sure if clicking "vote to remove" is synonymous with "1-vote". I'm thinking they are (at least, voting to remove also applies a 1-vote, but it is unclear if the opposite is true), but I'm not sure. Maybe "vote to remove" is the "0-vote" those of us with c-style programming language experience crave.

yes.

I'm convinced it is not; I have no proof.

does not exist. Unless you have no votes at all, ratings/scores always lie in [1,5]. (Tips show a rating of 0.0 when there are no votes at all).

Downvoting is downvoting. Voting to remove is voting to remove.
Just because something has been downvoted to worm level doesn't mean members consider it abusive or needing to be removed.

FTFY.
I clicked "vote to remove" on your message and it immediately changed to "1.00/5 (1 vote)"; and it gave two entries in my rep history.
I then revoted 3, which destroyed half of the proof (and did not generate a rep history entry).

True, but what I getting at was the actual voting to remove system is independent of the rating system. We just do a small "while you're slamming this message we'll give it a 1-vote for you".

Just thought I'd mention something that seems kind of strange. The original post in this thread had a rating of 3.x yesterday (IIRC) and now it has a rating of 4.x, though the number of votes (3) has not changed. I don't see any extra events in my reputation history to indicate somebody changed their vote. I still see -4, -2, and 24 as the points that went toward voting that post.

Unless the vote has changed from an up to a downvote, a member changing their vote won't affect your rep.

Right, but I wasn't curious about rep. I was curious why this post changed from a rating of 3.x (can't remember exactly) yesterday to 4.09 today without any reputation events to indicate something changed. Seems like it might be a bug (or maybe the formula to determine ratings changed).
|
|

|
|
Also, my memory might be foggy and the post may not have been 3.x yesterday, so feel free to ignore my report if you think that is likely.

Could you change the site's CSS to include ul.Download (with upper case D) in the following? A lot of authors seem to use it, and the icon fails to appear.
ul.download LI, LI.download {
list-style-image: url("/images/download.gif");
padding-left: 0.5em;
}

Consider it done.

According to my rep history I just got 2 org points for downloading the/a zip file belonging to Multimedia PeakMeter Control[^]. I did not download it, I had never seen the article before.

Interesting. Turns out a download file was associated with the wrong article. The correct article is Using ListView control under Win32 API[^].

Yes, that one I did have a quick look at. Not sure I downloaded any of it though.
An anomaly in the newest caching stuff perhaps?
