We're doing the opposite right? Getting high quality answers to the top rather than voting on questions that are already close to 10

It's still tactical voting but with the opposite intention

A: Too many questions with exactly 10 votes

@mousetail but were also kinda doing "get to 10 then move your votes down"

Let’s have a look at a pathological example: Suppose a proposal has five questions that are outstanding to the extent, that they are preferred by everybody over all other questions. If everybody voted honestly (i.e., upvoted their five favorite questions), only these five questions would ever rec...

True

but as the last question i linked said, purely honest voting hurts too

were kinda in the middle: a few of us are strategically voting, but most arent

hmm got another follower

think it was HN?

If they wanted to discourage tactical voting they shouln't have made it so easy and so advantagous

Maybe give everyone some number of downvotes seperate from upvotes?

To encourage using your downvotes too

Or restrict changing your votes constantly like other sites do

A: Ways to promote this site within the community

There's currently a Facebook group with 269 members. That is more than enough members to reach the 140 total number of additional upvotes required to get 40 questions with 10 upvotes each, and it would be enough to meet the 200 member requirement for the commitment phase. If only 28 of the 269 ...

some people might have no idea how to do this

@Seggan We wouldn't have to do this if SE didn't make the question requirement so absurdly high compared to the follower one

true
