The most recent front page posts are the first I've seen something like that. From the looks of it, only about 2-5 people are doing this.

However there might be some people that genuinely feel like something should be down-voted. The reason for having both a + and - voting system is to compare the two to get an understanding of the percent of people that like it. But I see how this system has it's negatives as well. Any system of voting will have its pro's and con's.

so I'm pretty much beyond confused

what are we talking about? At first I thought youtube, but some of the posts make me think this is an FFR thing.

FFR comment up or down voting, MrG. The option to give a comment a thumbs up or a thumbs down. It is found on things like profile comments on random thoughts, and things such as the front page posts.

Me too, I was like, "What the hell are you all talking about?!" Then I was like, "Ooh. This isn't YouTube related."

It started with a video in the FFR video database that got spammed, that's why you probably thought it was about youtube

Honestly, I don't give a ****. I have over 800 profile votes so I'm good.

**duddychuck@yahoo.com** · 02-9-2011, 01:45 AM

So is this about spamers? or voting?...

Statement that I actually agree with.

Uhhh... blatant contradiction of previous statement.

But yeah, I agree that the comment system is pretty BS as well as broken. When it first came out, I experimented with it for a bit. I have an on-board mouse on my laptop as well as a USB mouse that I can click simultaneously and very quickly. On a well timed clicking spree of the down vote link, I can get 5 or 6 clicks in a few tenths of a second instantly dropping a comment below the viewing threshold. Just nuke the comment system. It's pointless because you can still express your appreciation or disdain for someone's comment or opinion by simply commenting instead of clicking like or dislike.

Both.

**duddychuck@yahoo.com** · 02-9-2011, 01:55 AM

Ok then.
Spammers: Ban them (Length depending on severity of the spamming)
Voting: Who cares
IMO

Not a contradiction if it backs up previous statement. I could rephrase it as "Doesn't give a * and still willing to give a * by not giving a *.

* is the new f word.

Just don't give a *.

**foilman8805** · 02-9-2011, 02:00 AM

It doesn't back up your previous statement lmao

"I couldn't care less about voting"

"But I have 800 profile votes look how big my dick is"

don't give a star

**GG_Guru** · 02-9-2011, 02:06 AM

Atta boy.

So in the end, this thread is pointless.

LJRoX · 02-9-2011, 02:12 AM

My name is English, stop ****ing around with me.

**Ziergdsx18** · 02-9-2011, 02:17 AM

I lol'd when I saw my down votes on the main news.

justin_ator · 02-10-2011, 09:12 PM

Did this get changed? I tried to post another comment on the main page post to clarify something for Velocity, but it said I was posting too fast. Honestly is it that big of a deal that we have to restrict it?
