I still think the Downvote buttom is a bad design.

So ignore the downvotes.

Sweetie, I'm all for removing both the downvotes and upvotes. I said as much in my first reply in this thread. I'm just saying you're overreacting to something that is utterly meaningless.

We said entitled, not mad. I don’t like down/up votes since they’re useless. You were told you aren’t entitled to a response.

*gets downvoted*

I mean its just numbers, it depends how you see it.

I see it as “I agree or disagree” but I never take it personal.

Downvoted.

Wow, I think I missed my own coronation.

There is only one Forum King, and his name is Orion.

it means it's time to overthrow him)

Aah, it's the paper king. Who made the most posts. I thought ...

Downvote promotes the 'echo chamber' effect.

And people with controversial opinions that need to be heard for the health, well being and future of the game gradually fall away at an exponential rate till all that's left are a few wild eyed fanatics and an entire community of Labradors all fighting over whose going to be the best lap dog to whatever the current regime eating away at the game from within is.

It's all very grim like that.

The reason why a downvote feature shouldn't exist is simply that most people in this community are unable to view things objectively / from different points of views.

If people are unable to question their own viewpoint and consider that another person's given examples on a topic might carry some truth after all (which does not always necessarily contradict all you stand for), a feature such as the aforementioned one is quite worthless.

This can also be applied to the upvotes. Although positivity about something obviously feels more empowering than negativity.

@Poweas you know nothing about the true king,Orion!
