I complained about a question which I considered inappropriate for the site, and the questioner responded by marking all?

You should report the person to the MAPD (mahalo answers police department). We don't like people being hostile like this in system. I just sent Bobbyedwards this note: @Bobbyedwards: It's not a good idea to race around and vote down another users answers because you feel slighted.

@Albanian should be able to vote your question uninteresting without fear that you'll try to ruin his voting record. The point of the "helpful answer" feature is to help the person asking the question know which answers are actually helpful. If folks race around voting down people they don't like--or feel slighted by--then you've ruined the experience of the folks who need our help.

Does that make sense? ------ Also, please send @mike a note and see if he can reverse these unhelpful votes. I'm certain he can.

IMHO a these things could help: Mahalo rookies get a limited number of questions they can mark as unhelpful per day. A 3 strike and you're banned. I don't know if it's against Mahalo's TOS to mark all answers as unhelpfull.

But it think it's unfair. And maybe a monitoring system that warns Mahalo if a user marks an unusual amount of answers as unhelpful.

Personally I would not take any action directly against that user. That will cause more problems. Bringing it up with Mahalo would be a good option- but if it gets that user in trouble, they may be more inclined to find different ways to lower your ratings (Maybe instead of voting you down, they'll vote everyone up.

) Anyway that's just my thought on it. Ignore it and move on. If that doesn't seem like the right thing to do, brink it up with Mahalo.

Albanian I want to publicly apologize to you. You had left what I felt was a rude answer. I shouldn't have responded in the manner in which I did.

I did not however mark ALL your answers unhelpful. I did mark several unhelpful and regardless of how many I did even if it was one it was wrong. You caught me at a moment when I was in a foul mood and I responded inappropriately.

If you or someone else will show me how to delete my account I will self ban myself. There is one question that I plan on answering later (you can mark it unhelpful if it makes you feel better) then given the instructions on how to delete my account I will. Also I awarded you the best answer on your comment and I hope that helps a little.

This is an interesting problem. My guess is that this user will get bored of you and move on. However, maybe there should be some bad Karma for marking the same user as un-helpful.

However, having an answer that isn't related to the question being asked, isn't helpful. Or did you mean your answers to questions unrelated to his question. Mahalo will need to deal with this, or acknowledge it as a problem somehow.

A Karma system might help, but the devil is in the details.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
