| Jun 10, 2017 at 19:06 | comment | added | Sam I am says Reinstate Monica Mod | @Joe The phenomenon is more widespread than just trolls on the HNQs. There are many cases of moderately low-quality answers that get rewarded with more upvotes than downvotes. It seems to me as though there's a culture here where people are upvoting and not downvoting out of politeness, rather than judging the quality of the question or answer. | |
| Jun 10, 2017 at 18:19 | comment | added | Joe | @SamIam I am well aware of the community moderation principle and have had many years experience with it. However, there are times that cannot succeed - and trolling on HNQs is one of them. That's why moderators are chosen and are given the power to unilaterally delete answers, in large part. | |
| Jun 10, 2017 at 16:52 | comment | added | Sam I am says Reinstate Monica Mod | @Joe One of the core ideas of SE is that quality is community-moderated. That means that individual people control their own upvotes and downvotes and apply that pressure accordingly. As a moderator, I only delete questions and answers with serious quality issues or rule-breaking. I cannot control how people vote. This particular answer was delete-worthy, but not all low-quality answers are delete worthy. Sometimes down-vote is the correct course of action, but a critical mass of people need to do it well order for that to work. | |
| Jun 9, 2017 at 18:20 | comment | added | Joe | It seems to me that this is an issue for the moderators to handle. Aggressive deletion of sarcastic non-answers will always be necessary, and when you're on HNQ you probably need a moderator to check every half hour at least if you want things to stay reasonable. | |

added featured-tag to give more awareness to those community-members which don't follow meta.

| Jun 3, 2017 at 10:20 | comment | added | tim | @Brythan In this case that's probably true, but I noticed similar issues in answers that definitely aren't HNQs. I think people here are likelier to upvote answers that match their political opinion, which is fine as long as the answer isn't poor quality. But it also happens with answers that are just unsupported rants or snarky comments, which does seem like a problem (one I don't think we can solve, except by editing or deleting such answers). | |

| Jun 3, 2017 at 3:16 | comment | added | Brythan | The problem here is probably that this was in Hot Network Questions. HNQ voters don't really know what the site standards are and posting in Meta won't help them learn. They aren't Politics.SE readers; they're from other stacks. We'd have to post in meta.SO, etc. instead. | |

Keep in mind, new users can't even see the votes count and so they don't even know the post has received the downvotes (unless the total score is negative). | |
| Jun 3, 2017 at 3:01 | comment | added | Be Brave Be Like Ukraine | This Meta post is posted as a question, but it is rather an announcement. IMO, if it were re-formulated as a question, it became much more constructive. E.g., "What practical steps we can make to encourage users not to upvote the bad questions?" — and I have an answer then; we, the frequent visitors, must take the lead and not only downvote often, but also accompany our downvotes with comments telling why did we do that, and what's wrong with each post we think is bad. | |
