| May 18, 2014 at 4:54 | comment | added | Justin | On occasion I will upvote an answer (I haven't seen applicable questions) which are at -1 because the answer is a relatively good answer that was downvoted (Sometimes even if I wouldn't upvote otherwise). For some strange reason, I've noticed that downvoted answers tend to be downvoted more, even if the answer is a good answer. So by bringing the score to 0, I make it more fair for the answerer. | |

I'd rather have < 125 rep users not be allowed to vote at all if we're going in this direction ... or weighted voting based on reputation or voter's tag score in the tags on the question. | |
