Basically it's your thumbs up minus your thumbs down, divided by how many posts you have.

@benjaminbrandt's score of 132 means that on average he has 1.32 more thumbs up than thumbs down on his posts.  If your score is negative it means you get more downs than ups.

What's the remedy when 2 people follow your every post and down your every post, no matter how casual the remark?

For over a year now, my most casual remark on Culture of Tapology receives at least 2 down arrows.  

When I asked for assistance, Gregory blew me off and said it wasn't important enough to look into.

So much for responsible moderating.

There is no remedy for you, Bill.  If you want to keep posting here, you just need to accept the fact that you are different from most of the other people on the site, and a lot of people disagree with your views.

Playing devils advocate, I don't think it's the responsibility of the moderators or admins to police the thumb system. One of the downsides of being unique and going against the majority is you won't win many popularity contests.

The best advice is to either conform or ignore - I guess you you should do a lot of the latter, Bill.

@Gregory  I can handle being disagreed with fine.  It's when casual remarks draw down arrows that reveal that your system can be abused. 

And you're still refusing to address that possibility.  If you don't believe me, check out Culture of tapology and you'll see what I mean.  The situation exists, you just don't want to get your hands dirty.  Or admit your cherished system can be abused.

Quit ******* crying about the damn down arrows. It gets old rather quickly and you seem to do it more than anyone. This is not kindergarten where the teacher is gonna tell all the kids to get along.  

I can honestly say that whenever I see someone complain about down arrows I make sure to give that post one just for whining.
