Individuals may do it there own way. You can simply call out someone for being rude, you can create tribes that discourage it, you can shout high and low. In a way individualism is important, however that doesn't mean we can't discourage bad behavior as individuals. A community that rejects that sought of thing on a person-to-person basis is a lot stronger as a result, because one another will help each other (that sounds like the lyrics of a song) and calmer heads will prevail.
We've been trying to reinforce this as a community but without much success. Perhaps part of the problem is that we can't see who is doing it to confront them. So again, what else can we do?
Obviously I'm just spit-balling here. I'm trying to think of doing something more active against that type of person, however if we all become too active we become the snapzu SRS, which is exactly the opposite of what we want. I haven't seen too much myself, I think it's died down at the moment.
It hasn't. People are still using the downvote button to indicate disagreement. Granted, I tend to post and comment on controversial topics so I put myself in harm's way, but it also puts me in a position to see how often it's happening. It's not an epidemic yet, but it's growing.
Hm? I don't know then. I don't get it too often, but at the same point I recall the admins said they were going to rework the downvoting system (maybe)? Either way it's hard to curve it because the downvotes are anonymous.
