This person's username is green, their comment is graying, and they are the only green name on the thread. RageKit has simply asked a question asking for clarification. Given this post is already a meta discussion, what factors influenced the downvote?

From what I see, it could be that the general nature of the comment is tangential to the tack that the general nature of all of the other comments took, that the user is new, and/or that the "games = crack = bad" phrase is atypical of sentence construction on this site.

I've used this sentence construction because english isn't my first language and it was the easiest/fastest way to say what i wanted to say.

The downvote system is automatic ? I thought user could downvote each other threads

I'm still asking for clarification on why games are compared to crack. I'm a gamedesigner you see, and i went a little bit crossed-eyed on this sentence.

Edit : i don't see my comment grayed.

World of Warcraft is widely considered to be a highly refined Skinner box. If you're unfamiliar with the experiment, I strongly recommend that you look it up on Wikipedia and then google "wow detox". Also, you may want to research Asian governments' restrictions on XP/hour.

I'm sure you'll come to the right conclusions.

Yes, i'm aware of all this, but internet can also be considered like that, and also, many entertainment. And wow is just a game among many, i don't quite agree with this generalization. You can't judge a medium for what is done with it, but for what you CAN do with it.

Edit : Besides, i don't really like wow :)

Your comment is no longer grayed because others have upvoted it, likely because politician's comment pointed out that the downvotes were not deserved.
