Copy-pasting a comment I made in a post in v/AskVoat:

I was thinking of a per-subverse parameter, call it "downvoat freeze" so each subverse could specify its own minimum. When a post gets to that point, it should alert the mods because if a post or comment is getting so many downvoats it probably needs some sort of moderator intervention.

That intervention could include - remove the post/comment, remove the downvoat freeze (thus allowing the post to continue sinking no longer limited by the freeze), or do nothing (i.e., allow the post/comment to stay as-is).

This is a good idea if the mods are active 24/7, which is not the case yet. With this we put a lot more pressure on the mods instead of acting as a community.

Something like a post/comment hitting its downvoat freeze CAN WAIT. It's not an urgent fire. But a post/comment being downvoat brigaded IS a fire.
