It's very simple:

  1. Go to Stacker News in anonymous browsing.
  2. If your posts do not appear, you are outlawed.

or go to https://stacker.news/recent/outlawed

but why not focus on creating good stuff instead of worrying about getting downzap:)

"I'm not worried about it. It's just a curiosity, I didn't know that way of seeing with the link. Thanks.

I didn't know that if you got a lot of down-zaps you became an outlaw, how interesting haha

reply

Do downzaps also go to the poster?

reply

go to rewards

Would introduce an interesting (weird) incentive if poster were the receiver.

You'd benefit if two groups were warring over whether to have a message of yours shared or suppressed.

I think if you get enough downzaps. But only people who are chronically worthless need to worry about it.

yup, anyone can downzap content and if it’s truly bad (getting more zaps than downzaps), it ends up being outlawed.

that being said, anyone can also zap something that has been outlawed to bring it back to the main feed.

ultimately it depends on the mixture of zaps to downzaps, and in general only the worst content ends up getting outlawed.

I worry that could easily be gamed by a group with an agenda.

Think it is not a bad idea and acknowledge that am not proposing something better.

It's really extreme, it's like they have a brain injury. Which should lead me to pity them, I suppose, but I lack the greatness of soul that would allow it.
