I don't like it and found it incredibly frustrating yet interesting. We don't have immediate plans to deviate from the money is the moderator experiment.

The problem is one of outliers. Mods and trust are the usual way forums deal with outliers, which we can always introduce. For now, we want to deal with problems as surgically as we can. Stackers can see when there are aggressive upzaps but aggressive downzaps hide their effects so this new sort is aimed at helping that.

I'd be happy to answer any specific questions if you have them.

I'm supportive of continuing the experiment, and believe in the idea at a conceptual level.

The solution to trolls should be more tools to tailor your own experience, and sorting by downsats is a good step.

I suppose some decisions need to get made about what the default experience will look like, esp for new and not logged in users. But that's a lot of money for a troll to spend to influence the experience of non-commital users only. And every bad-faith downzap is actually a net resource contribution to other stackers, so while we may dislike the effect it has on rankings, we can't complain about big reward pools.
