I've only been using downvotes in a functional sense (posts in the wrong tribe or unnecessarily shitty comments) but I'm wondering if they would be applicable in the case of the kind of comments you describe? I'm hesitant to use them too quickly, but given the effect downvotes have on reputation (and XP eventually) it would disincentivize extremely low effort comments. Thoughts?
Downvoting these post is actually a effective means of moderation. However one has to be sure the post are done to game the xp system. I usually check the users feed before doing anything if it's full of one liners it's fair game IMHO
Hmm. Well, I'm lucky that I haven't seen too many so far (and a part of that may be how in smaller tribes we're working hard to create good content) so I'll continue to use downvotes sparingly, but I like your idea of doing some investigation first before downvoting.
