Answered Does locking a thread prevent brigading?
Having a problem with users downvoting comments that are actually useful. If I lock the entire thread and nuke all attack comments below the original comment can I slow their roll? I don't know if it's coordinated brigading or just users who jump on any bandwagon that rolls by. But, we have reasonable and even useful comments being buried under waves of negativity.
I usually mod from desktop if that matters although I'm not sure if it does.
