Should the downvote return?
Created by Tyrannus, 1 y 10 mo 2 d ago.
As most of you know the downvote button was removed. The only way (to my knowledge) that you still can is if you toggle it on when making forums.
We initially discussed this on the general forums but it was agreed it'd be more appropriate to make a forum discussing it.
I believe that its still possible to see its return.
Please up/downvote my 1st comment.
Holyjoe didn't like Blotsky's comment. He told him to remove the down-vote because he get offended. Making all users see who down-voted Holyjoe's comment will create conflict. Because then we will have people say "Hey @Xerodeep, why'd you down-vote my comment for? Can you remove it?" Not everyone is going to be this way. Sometimes when I see you @Tyrannus you like to reply to comments like these. https://www.superherodb.com/yoda-vs-darth-vader/90-4726/ Not everyone is going to respond in a poilte way. Whether you downvote comments like those all the time. Trust me i'm warning you, they will not always come by friendly. And also @Tyrannus I've done great things for this website. And now all of a sudden you want to make my job harder? Like I helped Holyjoe, when he was getting insulted by empty and sora. I helped BLOT, when nobody accepted his opinions and everyone was ashamed of him. I HELPED DARK, become a better debater and he has me on my favorites because of that. I HELPED JONG, when he was getting insulted by Sora by calling him stupid. AND NOW you want to do this again? I mean to tell you the truth, if you win. The good thing is ill have a lot of more people liking me that's one thing. The bad news is that I have to clean up the toxicity when you're inactive most of the time.
Also another thing is this will create down-vote wars, look I don't care if you want the down-votes back, I don't care about them either way but I just want to make you understand how toxic the site will get if everyone gets to see who down-voted one another. If you think incognito is right, then believe him I don't care. Just know that there will be repercussions for that suggestion and the site will not even be close to a better change. At the beginning when it's added it may seem great but when it's added for long. The site will start turning into a down-vote war site where another user hates another user for down-voting them. Just scroll through this whole thing real quick. https://www.superherodb.com/general-conversations-the-third/100-4120/ Just imagine if this suggestion was added by this time. It would have already made the site toxic but NOW THAT IM HERE. YOU SHOULD THANK ME, FOR WHAT I DID FOR THIS SITE. You should thank God whatever religion you believe in that i'm here because I helped this site not become toxic. And I will keep doing that. Once again I'm okay if the down-vote system returns but I strongly disagree that everyone should be allowed to see it.
I am not a toxic user and haven't been in a long time. If you ever think I am toxic, don't, just don't. If I'm ever toxic it will always be unintentional. I just use my emphasis when things get intense because I want to express myself how much I've done and why I think it will destroy it's image I believe in. So this is my argument. I'm done. They shouldn't be added because it will create more conflict in the future. While you are very good at explaining why you down-vote another user. Other users will not be great at this ability. They will resort in other ways like insults, harassment, bigotry, other negative ways and that will make the site's reputation more derogatory. So I want to make sure to prevent that this happens.
Also, here’s just a friendly reminder. People who aren’t toxic don’t write entire essays explaining why they aren’t toxic. Actions speak louder than words.
