Apple pie, not cake!

Why am I writing on habré? Because this is probably the only place where it is enough just to write a good article and everything! Then comes all by itself. But so it was.

Some time ago the inner voice wrote:
Now to vote for karma is possible only with karma below 15, for the topics not below 10.

And something has changed. What? View in numbers:

• Before, interesting informative post gained the same amount, a maximum of twice in your favorites, and now the gap increased to 3-5 times. After the introduction of new thresholds of the voting mass is decreased in my assumption in those 3-5 times. What is onachaet? And that's what.

• it is not enough to write a good post, you need to write just the same great post to get to the main, modern /all.
the
• is Now quite organized actions of a group of 10-20 people to pick up on the first page of any a bad post. Or Vice versa, so just drown the best post cons.

• As an expert on karma, I would say that beginners to overcome karma 15 no above is almost unreal. So we fix the current structure of the authors.
the
• As an author, each topic of which fell on the home will say that the price of voice has increased in 3-5 times, so 3 times harder to get into the old-timers and to the PAP. But existing authors at once will be more difficult in 3 times to Podrinje PPA.
the
• Beginners can't get into the pantheons, at least until the population of Habra will not grow in another 3 times.

I do not mind the balancing limit, the question has accumulated for a long time. But the shock change broke the balance and changed the incentives.

What to do? Well, to begin to change the voting thresholds for and against topics. They should not be the same. Threshold "for" must be twice lower than the threshold against. Perhaps these thresholds as it is tied to the number of registered accounts for inflation indexation of the voice. It is important that these changes should be more smooth.

And while there is a shock getting used to the changes, will drop the number of articles and reviews. In short, instead of cake temporarily will have to do, Charlotte. Human nature has a tendency to change. When all too well, why do people arrange themselves into trouble. But the ideal turns to the lifeless. In the end, the worm in the Apple proves that it is alive, no need to kill him!

Update
Last thing I would want to topic has turned into a common processto — merciless padding, ridiculous suggestions, and the loss of soldiers with a hangover in the morning.

Actually I wanted to highlight one very important point. Previously, a vote for topic required +2 karma, and to vote against is +4, thus we have a statistically positive average amount. Now, if I understand correctly UFO, the threshold is the same and equal to 10, and the result is a zero sum. If you remember that raising the threshold reduced the number of voting about 3 times, the balance has changed dramatically.

Simply put, when writing articles, you need to think about the fact that someone was interested, and that someone is not hurt. The factor of fear, you know, very bad motivates creativity.

I assume that's just a random bug fix which can be exhibiting the thresholds 5 for pros and 10 for cons in rating. The rest is lyrics and brokerstvo, which is punishable by the laws of the UFO!
