RE: When do whales upvote relative to publication time?

in #stats8 years ago

The penalty is at 30 minutes. It was added because the bot @wang (I think) gamed the system and was upvoting as soon as posts were published. Keep in mind that those who vote sooner are rewarded more than those who vote later. It's a reverse auction. Yes, it's also complicated.

Sort:  

So I guess the question is, WHEN should I vote? Can you point out a good source of info. on the subject, for a minnow? I guess it depends on the article, whether it's new or hot....but I thought I had this figured out. Now....not so much.
