Could you tell me what do those +ve and -ve numbers under Voting Details mean 👇? (How are those like that?)

I don't know how they weigh the vote's value. But on a similar case, reddit also never making explanations about their voting algorithm. A post on reddit could gain thousands of upvotes but the OP would never gained all those "karma" to their name.

 

Check virustotal FAQs or something like that and see if you can get any info about it.

Some posts edited.

 

Quote

Members are asked to ensure their interactions (posts, PM's, shouts and status updates) are consistent with 'normal writing' in the English language. Posts should be free from excessive emoticons or images. Users additionally should avoid posting text in full capital letters, extra large or very small text and excessive punctuation in topics or posts.

 

Guidelines.

 

I request everyone to be respectful and helpful as this is what our community made of.

 

If someone has asked a question, which is a good question I feel, then one deserves an answer unless one is satisfied.

 

@TrojanK: To answer your original question, it seems that some users have more power of points behind them. Meaning, lets say as I'm an admin here, I can have a power where if I like a post, instead of that post getting just one like, as I'm an admin, that post will get 10 likes, all from me. Similarly, if I disliked something, instead of it getting one dislikes, it will get 10 dislikes instead. It seems that they have implemented something like that, where some individual users have more power on vote than others.

 

Let me take this even further. How to know if this file is safe, how to decide if no one has rated it. Look at the names given to the file by the AVs. What's the two most common names found on that list. It's trojan generic and keygen. It can be said that if trojan generic and keygen are written on files, in most cases, it's false positive and safe to use it.

I'm making the unedited posts by teodz1984, which I consider as online bullying (3rd screenshot), available below as screenshots.

I'm also mentioning the staff members as I want to hear from them..

@DKT27@Lee@Lite@Matt@shought

@Crazycanuk

@Jordan@LeetPirate@Reefa

@anuraag@jalaffa@Karamjit

@RadioActive

What/How do you feel about that?

Nothing is obvious..right?

Staff members, was it too much to ask for your individual opinions? (only 2 of you have reacted)
