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

There's a bunch of spam from a user called "BravoIsabella" that has positive upvotes, and a grumpy post from one of the AI communities saying "mystery downvoter show yourself".

Edit: we have three regular posters (Radovic, LVL3_Eroticism, and Cleverhans) saying they don't like the decision and they may stop posting. There's at least one instance of upvoted spam.

There are two instances of spam accounts getting upvotes

Oh and the "mystery downvoter" post got, as of this moment, a -11. In a new community with 5 subscribers. It basically means a gang of people are just going around and downvoting everything I post. It's no longer about artistic differences or anything, it's a vendetta.

And frankly, I am not here for this type of shit. I've put a lot of time and effort into creating art and sharing it, including creating new communities. But this gang of self-appointed anonymous vigilantes is really making me reconsider whether it's all worthwhile.

Sorry about the whining. But since the admin asked how people feel about downvotes, that's how I feel.

It's shitty. I appreciate your posts. Here's hoping OP turns off downvotes and we can go back to the way we were.
