He developed this feature on a test instance of poal and I saw it and really liked the concept. I think it would really help with the brigading problems poal has been having.

It doesn't make voting habits viewable on a per account basis just on a post basis so it would take a lot of work to compile someones voting habits.

So please let us know what you think, is this something you guys think would do some good for the site? I know it would probably at times make people more hesitant to downvote but it also would make brigadiers more hesitant to act.

you make a good point. I think you are on to something. What do you think about level restrictions on the feature?

I think any system can be gamed. It is more like home security. Doesn't actually stop break ins. Just makes it a pain in the ass so it is easier to go to an unsecured house. Make it so much work to game it that it is not worth it.

Make it so much work to game it that it is not worth it.

That's why making this feature available only after an account has reached a certain level will make it harder for the trolls to access it.

Also preventing new accounts from accessing this feature doesn't take away their rights for free speech.

Well at least you guys have already considered the pros / cons. Let's see how it plays out!

Instead of downvotes for the brigadeers I think I'll share that video on what it means to be rent free. LOL!

Maybe consider that an account needs to be active for 6 months before allowing this + a certain activity level?

It's more work and a higher bar. I don't think most people will care that they don't have access to it, just a highly active subset.
