welshbairn Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Lowlife behaviour turning off notifications because you get upset by red dots, but still doling them out. The latter shouldn't be possible imo. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy with that though, everyone has to find things that work for them and I'm probably doing the rest of the forum a favour by not getting in a back and forth over red dots.

The reaction to Marshmallo even to this day is actually an excellent example of the red dot phenomenon and it how it can impact on posters.

Aye, doctoral theses have been written on the subject of positive and negative reinforcement on social media, and suffice it to say that the subject is not black and white. (Or in this case, green and red.) One common effect of persistent downvoting, intended or otherwise, is to shut down dissension/debate. When that happens, the technical term for it is “a c**t’s trick”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to understand more about people taking downvoting as a personal attack, it seems to cause a hell of a lot of consternation before or after the old "doesn't really bother me, but this c**t's been red dotting me...." Slightly different, but related is that I've also notice the 'Karma farming' phenomenon where on twitter or reddit and probably on here something will be posted purely boost positive reputation which is also ridiculous. The whole attachment to online reputation is a phenomenon imo. Edited April 30 by 2426255 -5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole attachment to online reputation is a phenomenon imo. Reddit is actually a great source for these sorts of discussions, and has several sub-reddits dedicated to exactly that. Here are a couple of examples which have the sole advantage of being freely available online; I doubt you’ll learn anything particularly new from either. The first dates back ten years and is less than scientific, while the second is a little more “scholarly” but draws few actual conclusions. How The “Down-Vote” Leads To A Vicious Circle Of Negative Feedback The Sociomateriality of Rating and Ranking Devices on Social Media Perhaps the most interesting observation in the first one is that “authors that receive no feedback (my italics) are more likely to leave the community entirely”. So, red dots do have their benefits 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
