| Sep 21, 2013 at 3:01 | comment | added | user40280 | This is about question threads that don't get bumped at all. Now your more speculative explanation may be right, but if it is isn't that somewhat problematic? Users rewarding a question because they liked that their answer was appreciated by someone, and downvoting a question because people didn't like they answer?. On the other hand, it could just be that the users just take a closer look at a question for which they recently received a vote, which would be a good thing. But then why the correlation between upvotes and upvotes and downvotes and downvotes? | |
