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 don't like downvotes. I post stuff here, if it gets downvoted it can fail and go below the level of visibility that garners it more votes. People will downvote for any reason that comes into their heads. It's almost like random noise but it messes with my post's path to its intended audience.

I don't see what possible motivation I would have to keep posting when that is happening.

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

Yeah, I posted this. Somebody or a number of somebodies are mass now downvoting nearly everything I post. Presumably, they have some beef but they should have stated it openly and we could have discussed it. Instead they are just blanket-bombing me.

Frankly, it's the sort of thing one expects on reddit. But this is supposed to be a better sort of place?

Good job, a few saved posts from my saved list have been replaced by blanks. And who can blame the ones who did it? (Many will, considering these did get a bit of abusive words despite doing some good things). This place has become a place to debate and argue rather than have a good jerk. Ha! Just what was needed.

Being a bit of a dick is normal, so it is tolerated, and opinions are given importance, these dickheads are given respect for abusing the very ones who made this place work. What's next now? Enforcing moderation on those who answer back to them? It is the norm in the more corporate forums so I—would—not—be—surprised—at—all. Good job all.

Hehe… who could've seen this coming. The majority of good willing people here couldn't, how surprising🫢 If the world had more silent thinking (which is my style) and less debating (which was how things were before this slight seemingly insignificant change, a change which incited the question of whether each posting itself was right or wrong), these things wouldn't happen… but it is not the place of idiots like me to interrupt the legitimate high-placed people of the world from shooting their own feet so… carry on. It is amusing in itself. I'll start a casual bet (smiles on wager, so the world benefits from it) on just how much everyone among these well intentioned ones choose to ignore the results out of embarrassment. I say the majority will be too embarrassed to even talk about it again, as if it never happened, and try to shut down anyone who references it for being 'incorrect' or 'wrong'😁 Better yet, some will blame and insult the few posters who deleted everything. That will definitely happen.

How ironic is it that for the sake of arguing for good quality posts, you would drive away the posters of some of the best quality posts💀

I'd want it enabled only for people who are subbed to the community in question. That solves practically all issues.

Disable down votes. Its nothing more than a Tool for Trolls.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 6 days ago

No downvotes. This is a porn instance. Users will downvote OC that isn't classically attractive, gay content, etc. I'll do that because I'm a jerk. But it discourages what few posts we get.

Spammers should be banned and or users should block.

I don't see much reason to have them. Others have spoken of helping with spam. I haven't noticed any spam on this instance.
