Can we get rid of these fucking downvotes?
They're mostly pointless and only serve to anonymously neg shit out.
- detritus-48
or have some clever kind of balancing or credit mechanic, or Hacker News like "you only get to downvote once you've reach X karma".
Whatever, they're shit as they are now, just little pieces of shit smeared across the site anonymously.

- Excellent.
I wish I'd done this on purpose.detritus

Agreed. They're mostly used in a snipey little-bitch kinda way. They serve no purpose other than to give some kind of anonymous recourse to those who are too lazy to articlulate their issues.
Stick your name against it or get rid completely.

I don't mind it, since random/nonsensical downvotes from a single person are usually balanced out by other people.
Also don't they help determine what does and doesn't show up on the frontpage?
- upvotes alone could achieve the same.detritus
- Yeah but upvotes provide no way to remove something bad from the homepageyoungdesigner

"I downvote if someone mentions being downvoted. I'm simple like that."
-- set- i just noticed someone went through x threads earlier and downvoted every post going back a page or so. a limp form of self-amusement.detritus

I agree, and I said it originally.
On another forum I visit they only have upvotes, or 'thanks'.
I think that's a much better way of doing things. Downvotes only serve to create negativity and tension.
Upvotes only. If no one likes a post, then fine it won't get any votes but it will stop pointless bitchy negativity.
Peace and love you utter fucking filthy lemmings.

Ok so they do provide some level of amusement, it has to be said.
- this entire thread is based on it. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!sarahfailin

I'm the one downvoting your posts. If a post is good I upvote it, if it's innocuous I ignore it, if it's stupid I downvote it. Send your complaints my way.

Ironically this thread proves the usefulness of downvotes. On the old QBN we would have no idea what people thought about the idea, now in this thread we can see that people love downvotes.

- Ironically, it doesn't.Morning_star
- What about literally?ORAZAL
- Nah. However, metaphorically it speaks volumes.Morning_star
- You are nitpicking...my use of ironically was actually appropriateqoob
- It's adding additional context to judge a comment by. Which (most of the time) is helpful not pointless.qoob
- Thanks Alanis. Why bother taking the time to understanding something when others can do that for you.Morning_star

I thought the voting was originally going to be used for the Question threads, so we could indicate the correct answer, or the most useful one. Then the Q thing disappeared and the voting was everywhere. Maybe I remember it wrong.
- I downvoted this. For no reason at all.CygnusZero4
- I upvoted to keep mono from getting upset, i like him.Morning_star
- I don't give a fuck about the voting; only a child would get upset about itmonospaced
- Yes what happened to the Qs...I loved the Qsqoob
- Which is why they have no value at all.Morning_star
- yes it does! to mess with people who cares about down vote.pango
- The Qs got removed because you fuckers couldn't figure out how to use them.ORAZAL
- *clears cookies, downvotes again*CygnusZero4
- why did they add this?CygnusZero4
- Hahaha. Fucking hilarious.monospaced
- CygnusZero4-11
I went through all posts, and if they currently have a positive count, i downvote it, and if its currently negative, I upvoted it.
And lots of people do this, which is why the system is stupid and useless.
- Any other cunt do this?set
- No, it's stupid and useless.ORAZAL
- Thought soset
- yea, its actually stupid and uselessCygnusZero4

I can make a browser extension that automatically downvotes all the comments on the QBN page you are viewing. Let me know if this interest you.

If there weren't downvotes, what would we do about yurimon?
- Argue with him in 100+ sidenotes, much more productive. Everybody's happy.ORAZAL
- autoflavour-6
i dont even really understand how they work..
nor do i really care..- you click the button that says 'upvote' when you're happy, 'downvote' when you're unhappy. located in the bottom left of each post.sarahfailin
- zarkonite-16
... just add the names of the people who voted below the score.
- I'm downvoting you, what difference does it make?ORAZAL
- ^ im upvoting this now motherfucker!CygnusZero4

Perhaps have a leaderboard of most downvotes for members - GeorgesIVIICX must be near top.
