me too

probably a vox populi wisher

@Yannis I just saw that you and Gilles are backing the Literature SE proposal. I'll be interested to see what comes out of it.

@b_jonas and @HDE226868 and @DVK and a lot more, i bet this will be interesting

@bleh Yeah, I'm hoping it launches soon. It should be fun.

@Yannis Someone seems to have upvoted a lot of questions at 9 net votes, to trigger a load of Nice Question badges.

well that did happen for me

@HDE226868 It's tonight i thought?

@HDE226868 This is a general pattern, I saw it happen (both to my own posts and other users) at other sites at times, including SO.

@Yannis I have once proposed (not sure in the comment or actual Meta Q) a feature that would politely warn new users when they serially-upvote someone's posts too much - which is easy to do; you see good post from someone, you check out their other posts, and like them too. or they are just prolific in a tag you like. And new users don't know any better.

@Yannis Also, related (likely)

@bleh Are you participating as well? I hope that proposal succeeds, I was quite sad when original literature site was shut down.

@DVK-in-Florida Yea, very excited for it

@DVK-in-Florida I think last time I saw a serial voting alert proposal, it was shot down because it would give people a pretty good guess at the thresholds of the algorithm.

@HDE226868 Ah, so it's not entirely random. That's good, I guess, if the votes somehow stick at least they would be on posts that were already considered good enough by the community.

@Yannis My idea is that it'd be rather different from serial voting script. Merely something dumb and independent, "make more than X votes in Y minutes for specific user=> get a warnnig to not concentrate on voting for same user". The thresholds can - and likely shuold - be different from serial voting algo, since the goal is to prevent well-intentioned but ill-informed antipattern.

sure, and perhaps a flag could be raised for people who stumbled upon the warning more than once in a relatively short time, to catch those few that'll try to abuse it to test the waters.

@bleh Ah, yes.

@Yannis Yes, it's better than upvoting a bunch of terrible stuff.

Literature site is up!

YES

so happy :)

@DVK-in-Florida And not a single "recommend me a book" question!
