Is that really true? I've not seen them say so, and it's never come up when I've discussed it with them. I'll have to ask ... thanks for the information/suggestion.

If people want to keep the item but don't want to give me the votes, feel free to downvote one of my comments. I don't care about the karma, I wanted to see the discussion develop and evolve.

You're right, I hadn't seen that. I'll remove my comment.

Thanks for the information ... today I learned.


IIUC the penalty is applied automatically but they get a warning [1] and then they check if the penalty is correctly applied and may revert it.

[1] I guess by email, but it may be a SMS or a big red blinking light in the headquarter.

Also, perhaps they get the warning when a submission pass a lower threshold and the penalty is automatically applied with higher threshold.
