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

All this seems very fair. I'm under no illusion as to the popularity of downvotes, I would say that damn near all of them want to be able to downvote.

The question I have asked you and have asked @CombedSpaghetti is what motivates me or any of your other regular posters to post when they know that all their efforts can be nullified, for any reason you can think of, by someone pushing a button at the wrong moment.

And you can't. Not unless you cut us in on that sweet crypto action 😜

Like I said I understand what you're saying, my answer is it's not always as simple as doing something that makes one group of people happy, I have to weigh the options, which is why I made this post.

Also, I don't get paid to do this, they crypto money goes 100% to paying for hosting the site to my knowledge. All the admins have day jobs.

I know, it was a joke because we can all see what the finances are.

Truth is, as I think you already know, that you couldn't pay me enough to overcome this issue.
