@Eggyz999 I didn't even realize it was gone till you mentioned it

Eggyz999

@jainacore mb gang, maybe im just a hater

@Eggyz999 nahhh i dont like that the downvotes are gone i like that they're gone cause people were abusing them for some people but i feel there could've been some work around lol but removing them is still great

Raven

Unfortunately there really isn't a work around on people abusing downvotes. It was multiple individuals just downvoting posts for absolutely no reason, well, only because they didn't like whoever they were downvoting.

BritishUnity

@Maditalian yeah thought there might be something to where u can only downvote like certain times a day or anything like that (if that's even possible) but removing the main course of the issue is the easiest solution lol still though I'm happy people aren't losing all there rep

Yanderemenhera

that was a BIG issue people don't know how to behave on here

BritishUnity

@Yanderemenhera lmao

Yanderemenhera

yep

Raven

There is a feature for that @BritishUnity837, but just because we do that will not change the fact multiple people are downvoting posts for no reason. Even if I enabled that feature, we'd have the same issue because the downvotes from each individual user combine.

Yanderemenhera

people could literally just react with a thumbs down emoji and not upvote it and call it a day tbh

Eggyz999

@Maditalian i just had an idea----

what if we temporarily removed/banned these individuals from downvoting? or we could make a ruke that ''targeted downvoting'' is not allowed, warn/mute said users.

im still in the opinion that removing downvotes is a bad idea, sorry :P

Eggyz999

@Yanderemenhera that is true...

however i do believe this could result in targeting of he user that did thumbs down.

Yanderemenhera

yeah, ik its just im surprised none is trying that

Yanderemenhera

we have a flagging feature too

Raven

@Eggyz999 There isn't a way to ban users from downvoting and there really isn't a need for it other than you trying to lower someones reputation points.

Regardless, I will not be adding it back and keeping up with the downvotes on posts is just a waste of time.

@Eggyz999 There used to be a feature when users under 50 rep couldn't downvote but I think it was removed and it's really easy to get to 50 rep, most users will just have friends upvote spam them in the DMS :P
