It has recently come to my attention that the Like/Dislike system is not yet perfect.
In particular, since participation in the system is not consistent, you have some over-vocal members who disproportionately influence what the "popular opinion" is on CathInfo. That goes for posts, as well as members.
Considering that CathInfo is the best Catholic forum on the Internet (and is known as such), with some of the best Catholics (at least among those who go online), that is very dangerous for the reputation of Tradition.
So the solution is obvious -- the circuit breakers need to be more sensitive to "over-participation" by the more vocal. The thresholds have thereby been dropped, so now you can only be 18% of a person's downvotes, or 20% of their upvotes, before your votes are rejected.
I also changed the error message:
Why not pray for X?
If this post by X is so bad, I'm sure others will notice it too. They will give a thumbs-down for you.
You'll only see that message if you downvote someone excessively, disproportionate to what the rest of the forum does. If someone is unpopular, you might have to downvote 150 times to get this message! But with someone extremely popular, you might only get a few before this happens.
