| > There's also no necessity to comment - lurking, despite the quite awful name we've given the behaviour This is especially true if the content itself gives authoritative or complete information about something, as Warnock's dilemma (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warnock%27s_dilemma) described: """
The problem with no response is that there are five possible interpretations: * The post is correct, well-written information that needs no follow-up commentary. There's nothing more to say except "Yeah, what he said." * The post is complete and utter nonsense, and no one wants to waste the energy or bandwidth to even point this out. * No one read the post, for whatever reason. * No one understood the post, but won't ask for clarification, for whatever reason. * No one cares about the post, for whatever reason. — Bryan C. Warnock
""" In this way, I think the voting system became popular, not only because it's usable a mechanism to select interesting information, but also gives an important feedback to encourage the poster, same for the "Like" button. However, they has their own problems. |
