Repost bad

Howdy gang. I have a little idea rolling around in my head that I feel could greatly benefit the WR, and it may very well be something that is already being addressed by the mods/dev team on here. Let me know if that's the case!


Why don't we just delete posts that amass over 10 or 15 downvotes? If the repost/shitpost really is that poorly done or has a subject that's been beaten into the ground, let the masses deem it so! And on the flip side, if a repost is generating chatter and productive conversations, the upvotes will reflect this and the post can stay.


Then, if an individual puts together 2 or 3 consecutive posts that get downvoted to hell, they get a temporary ban.


The QC def could use some attention here because there's a music post like everyday, but the answer is not to just have a WR officer refer every single reposter to the search bar. Guys, reposts are not inherently bad - you ever think that maybe new members in the community want to have an actual convo on a subject instead of yelling into the void on a post that's 4 months old?

An interesting take, I would go ahead to push that limit to like -20 to prevent a select few to gang up on an individual. I feel like this idea could work.

If I strongly agree with you and I think it could work and turn out very well, keep it up!

Don't we run the risk of a popularity contest? Who patrols what qualifies as a shit post?

No, that's the current status quo Macdaddy, I'm proposing something more Democratic/Darwinistic than that

I think they have bigger fish to catch at this moment. But in the future Iโ€™m pretty sure they will work out a system to keep real shitposts out of the WR
