Eh, I mean, it’s a pretty natural reward/punishment mechanism that our brains are very tuned to. Evidence suggests that even something as simple as receiving a text message is enough to give a little burst of dopamine, signifying a reward in an operant learning context. I’d argue that an upvote is much the same - rewarding enough to both feel good and act as a reinforcer for future behavior.
That being said, you’re probably right in that one should ideally just ignore it. Obviously I mostly have, given my up/down ratio on the poliboard

I have no studies but I’m convinced you can also control this.

Yeah, in a manner of speaking, you could control it. Top-down control over the reward circuitry is something that is easier for some people than others, but it’s certainly possible with practice. Removing the reinforcer, I guess, would equate to ignoring the voting bar while posting.
It’s the same brain network that’s essentially hijacked by addiction, so it’s clearly pretty powerful - especially for certain people.

Exactly. Be proud that someone takes the time to downvote you.

He provides great info, just doesn't come across very well at times. Too thin skinned too. If you criticize too much, he'll take his ball and go home.

Holy frick. You can not be this petty and rustled. I hope your room is padded.

I say we test this theory. It would be a great board discussion. Send me your number, Rocky and I will send you some texts. Let us know if you get that burst you are talking about,
