Wait, why do people care so much about the viewcount of a post? I've never heard of that being a reason for flagging or not flagging something. Just curious what's going on with that? I don't even see why that would come into the equation of a post being good/bad.
Because "no one saw this and it has received too much value", it's more of a use-case towards authors that receive a lot of autovotes, though.
I mean, that's kind of subjective towards it having too much value because it has small views. But, then again, a lot of things on this site are subjective in many ways. That's definitely gameable like you said though, as you can just hit f5 on your post over and over to give yourself views if you were bored enough and cared that much. Is that just a broken feature on here? I don't remember being able to do that on posts back when I joined last year, but maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention.
It's only been broken for a short period.
Ah, thank you for letting me know, Acidyo, High Chief of the keeper of the knowledge.
