This is actually ridiculous

This sheriff stuff is getting out of hand.

There's no question that the AoPS sheriff is constantly taking action. My concern is that someone is abusing sheriff privileges.

WHAT IS THIS??

I posted a post calling out two clearly incorrect posts with the opinion that we should have downvotes because of users posting blatantly misleading information. I even got 2 upvotes, one from a fairly seasoned user. In my opinion, if this kind of incorrect information (spam is it not?) is allowed to stay in a thread but my post saying it's incorrect gets deleted, something's a bit off.

If people have the right to be incorrect, then others should have the right to correct them. This isn't even about maturity or not. With the exposure that SS is getting, incorrect information shouldn't be allowed to just sit there.

Someone even pm'ed me saying I should make a whole new post about bringing downvotes back, but as I was reading that pm my post got deleted.


smh on a completely unrelated note I'm going home for spring break tomorrow.

This is very true, and I'm not sure to what extent this goes. I suppose from a business perspective, AoPS needs to protect the younger users (because they stay on AoPS => more money) and thus they do everything they can to wipe every trace of toxicity on AoPS off the map, leading to an undesirable community situation for a lot of people. While this is a very cynical view, I feel like it might explain a couple of things.

hey i agree that the posts you quoted are bad

but perhaps there's a better way to show that than to ask for downvotes back? idk man they're probably just tired of peopel asking for downvotes

like the way to avoid this kind of sheet is to simply make part of your post constructive, and roast little kids with the other part of your post xD that way they can't call you out for not being useful

I guess. Most of the time I'm just too lazy to write anything more. My post was kinda asking to be deleted.
