What is meta? ×   After all this I have been banned from asking

be made of of established users and established users are more
likely to be those resistant to change to a system which got

greater hit from this down voting system as they have less rep
to lose.  Any radical or unconventional suggestions are much
more likely to get down voted and so there is a disincentive to
make these suggestions. Some might say that the formula of the
site works and I certainly agree with that to an extent but you
