Didn't we have this conversation like almost 4 years ago boobs. The down button is a disagreement button. It's just instinct, it implies negative.
Respectfully again I disagree, I don’t think it should be used as such.
votes one way or another can be an expression of speech
Interesting. I have always used it as a disagree button. What would you prefer it be used for? As a replacement for "report" on a free-speech site? I don't see "report", and frankly would be thrilled to see a lack of it. I'm still getting used to the layout here though. It could be right the fuck in front of my fucking face!
I see it as a not relevant button, or a no discussion happening button. Or a report button. If you disagree then make your argument! Nothing is stopping you here.
I have definitely seen the downvote button abused before. Excellent point to think about.
That's kind of how it's used on any site. I was tempted to dv just as a point.
I know but I don't want that to be how it is here. If possible.
I don't think it will be an issue unless the site grows. I mean it took like 1.5 years for phuks to be as busy as it is now.
I hope it won't but I'd bet we will grow faster than anyone thinks.
800 faggots in 1.5 year.
I’m pretty sure that with true free speech this place will achieve it in a month.
Maybe we should considering disabling it in the future.
Think it is counterproductive to free speech.
Only question is if there is any code to prevent vote brigading.
If not that should be a future goal to prevent SRS/SBBH shit from going on over here.
I’m not sure how to prevent brigading but if I see it I’ll stop it.
Maybe a piece of code that picks up when an user votes so many times within a minute on a certain user or on a certain sub?
Just something to think on for the future, doubt it will be necessary for a hot minute.
But what about when someone really exceptionally fucking stupid keeps commenting back just as fast i as i can stoke the ovens?
The only real way to hurt the people who treat up votes as shekels is to take them away, jew the jew, they hate that.
