Indicator of the nature of user actions

    Lord developers Habr and habra

    I propose such an idea, which, it seems to me, will be able to protect the habro-humans from the so-called minus-beings - individuals who minus everything and indiscriminately.


    The idea is as follows. In addition to rating and karma, in the user profile, enter an indicator - the prevalence of the number of delivered “pluses” (P) over the number of delivered “minuses” (M), which works according to the following rules:

    1. the indicator is neutral under the condition P + M <some number (20 , for example) - the user has too few votes to rate

    2. the indicator is neutral if the user has P / M> 1, i.e. if the user is more plus than minus - it will not seem. (So ​​that the plusers do not appear)

    3. The indicator lights from pink to red if the P / M ratio is less than 0.5. The smaller this ratio, the more red the indicator becomes.

    4. The indicator lights up from pink to red if the P / M ratio is more than 10. The higher the ratio, the more red the indicator becomes. - There is obviously something wrong here, the user cannot like almost everything. We are not under communism after all. Yes, or the Bot warning light comes on at the administrator :-)

    All numbers are of course at your discretion.

    What will it give? - First of all, the psychological certainty that if you minus a lot or just plus it, then the indicator will light up - and then you will be mussed. In reality, this is unlikely, because any user will follow this, and if the indicator starts to turn pink, then a thread will run and plus one thread, but this is no longer important. It is important that there will be no uncontrolled and unpunished minuserism.

    Even better - if the indicator readings are strictly late for a while. Then users will be afraid of their actions, because if they overdo it with minuses, it will be visible only after some undefined time, and there is a high probability that many will see the “red” indicator earlier, and even if you run plus, it’s all the same nothing will change - you will be diligently minus.

    Thanks.

    UPD : It would also be nice if the indicator was influenced by the fact that the user minuses / pluses one more to a greater extent. This is already necessary in order to negate the actions of the "vindictive" Habra-people who are minus not because they didn’t like something, but as revenge for something. Or, again, define bot warning in the case of the massive pluses of one person.

    UPD2 : A lot of good thoughts in the comments.
