@ACuriousMind I'm reasonably sure that we have two regular users who simply cast contrary votes on anything (or nearly so) they see downvoted in a way that they attribute to the cabal of high rep users.
If that is true there is nothing to be done about it except wait and hope that they get bored and go away.
What's not allowed is to have them vote for the same post, or vote for each others' posts, or anything else that you wouldn't be allowed to do with only one account
(I converted that post to a comment since it wasn't an answer)
So I have an admirer of sorts. I'm pretty sure he's been upvoting all of my posts and he asks me to weigh in on all of his posts even when I make it clear that the subject is outside of my area of expertise. Thoughts? Questions? Suggestions?
To be honest, it's all getting a bit uncomfortable, but I don't want to be mean to the guy
I did ignore for a while. But now he constantly pings me when he thinks there's something I should see on anther post. And he's rising to become a common contributor
All because I was nice when he first started. Maybe I should start being mean to all new users
@Jim Uh...would it be mean to just say that you don't like to be pinged on stuff outside your area of expertise? (That is, don't just state that it is outside, but that you're not interested. Or did you already do that?)
I recall some SE team member stating that whenever someone thought they "knew" a serial voter, they almost always either had the wrong person in mind or there wasn't such a voter at all
Before you rush to say "No, that's a terrible idea! We have it as silver for a reason and you're going to accept that reason or else we'll taunt you a second time!" listen to my reasoning first.
So we have three tiers of badges for number of votes on an answer; Nice/Good/Great Answer for 10/25/1...
@ACuriousMind you can build off answers even if you were the fastest gun in the west
I never understood what the difference was. I don't like it when people do that, but we have to accept that people do use placeholders and they can still improve based on answers other post later
So the timing of the answer is kind of diluted in importance. Once you make posting first desirable, that doesn't reward early posters so much as it does encourage the fastest gun in the west attitude
When looking down and through a length of tube, the 'far' diameter is less than than that diameter that is closest to the viewer's eye.
If, for example, the tube's internal diameter is measured at 80mm and (again, as an example) the internal diameter of the tube that is farthest away (the other ...
I was debating this with someone and they told me this is a good place to discuss theories.
I am asking in regards to obtaining the knowledge within the realm and range of one who took 8 years or more of study, primarily to be a medical doctor (M.D.) or Physician in the United States.
