Time for a poll!

Systematic downvoting of users (that aren't spambots or obvious trolls) is wrong.

Systematic downvoting of users (that aren't spambots or obvious trolls) is against community norms (i.e. people should already know it's wrong).

It would be nice if admins had a way of automatically detecting such behavior (e.g. running an SQL query to pick up patterns of mass-downvote)

By the way, dear LessWrong reader, have you ever been a victim of mass downvotes?

And have you engaged in it?

(not that I think such polls should have power of law, it's just nice to have an idea of the opinion of the community)

Submitting...

I wasn't logged in when I initially filled out this survey, and the cookies in my browser might have been acting funny for whatever reason. So, I may have mistakenly filled out this form twice. If I did without anonymity, ignore my duplicate result. If it was anonymous, and it appears a user did enter twice, and the results are the same, then ignore one of them, as it could easily be from me.

So, non-logged in users are allowed to vote to polls? (Does anyone know if that's deliberate?)

Does anyone know if that's deliberate?

It's not true, at least normally. If you are logged out and press "Vote", you are asked to log in.
