I just wish this was done more collaboratively rather than just announced before the purges began. If there's a problem in the community (and not just stupid shit from outside trolls) then we need to solve it together as a community.
I’ve seen the explanation a couple times that there was a vote approving this, and then actually went and looked at the poll, and a slim majority voted for Admins (and not mods) to be able to view voting history in some situations. There was no vote on the policy of automatically banning people for “reactionary downvoting patterns.”
I see. Yeah, it's kinda like a marriage. If I throw out my wife's broken thingy without her asking and get her a new one, she may be pleased, or may feel excluded from the process. Same here.
