Do you want downvotes? (POLL) (lemmynsfw.com)

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

I changed my mind. I was pro downvote but I just looked at the new community list, saw one I liked, and then saw that a lot of the posts that fit the theme just fine have been downvoted for no reason. The mod is clearly upset about it also.

So yeah, please turn downvotes back off.

How do you know that there was no reason behind the downvotes?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

True. I mean no discernable reason.

Yes that's how reddit is that's the issue people just downvote a lot for things they don't like hivemind like as well. YouTube is different from this as the videos arent NSFW Sex. That's why the block and report is more useful, also a lot of my posts would technically be negative 6 at the moment and all I do is fuck a sex doll I understand I don't have a vagina and u might not like my content but just block me

I can see a lot of pros and cons, and I don't think we can know what is best without a longer-term trial. There'll be some trolling and harassment that comes with it, which is really bad, but also it allows user filtering of spam and junk posts, which is good. Hopefully there's less of the former and more of the latter.
