Currently downvotes are enabled on a trial basis, this was done by me to see if they can be enabled to prevent spam from rising to the top of communities, along with the fact that is another form of interaction/feedback.

However I've gotten some pushback for this and so I'd like to see the general consensus of this decision. Please put any comments/concerns in this thread, and please vote here: (Link gone poll is done)

the results of this poll and the comments will determine if we keep or remove downvotes again

Seems like the divide is between people who actually contribute to this instance and post content, versus those who don't and want to decide what get seen or not. Question, when we are gone, are you going to start posting? Will you create and moderate communities? Or are you going to keep sitting and expecting poster to cater to your tastes?

Its pretty rich to sit on your ass, makes demands and still call others entitled.

I posted when this instance first started and there was nearly nothing. So yeah I would and did. I didnt complain about the down votes and wasnt demanding up votes either.

I'm entitled to nothing, posts or votes. You are entitled to nothing as well.

Why did you stop?

Felt like the momentum of the instance picked up enough that it was self sustaining.
