"someone disliked the list as soon as it was complete. i can only assume they hang out disliking new lists all day or something"
lol. their raison d'être. There are stranger people, I suppose - though it'd be nearly impossible for most of us to even begin imagining what kind of "strange" these strange people would be.
if you check the 'activity' for the list, no one has disliked it - i just went to the 'reddit top 250 list' (the most disliked list on this site!) and checked the activity there, and if someone dislikes a list, that does show in the activity.
so what i think happens is new things are automatically given a like and a dislike, probably to keep the ratios they calculate mathematically legal (so they're never dividing by zero). or at least i've always suspected they do that here, but now i look at some things and see they have zero dislikes, so either they only sometimes do it, or i'm totally wrong. :)
