You're acting like the majority of people want the down vote back. It's the opposite.

Sigh...

DanO is 100% right and you are mentally incapable of knowing that he is right.

Downvoting was a fuel to some people that gave a negative experience to the ones they were performing the practice on, the downvote, yet did it ever cross your mind about the other side of this topic you want to bring up?

There is nearly a pros and cons list to everything, and this is why it shows up because with Downvoting, the cons heavily outweighed the pros and thus was removed.

That said, I doubt in my sanity that you will ever see the downvote be brought back, and this thread is certainly not influencing the need for the downvote back.

you claim that i am "mentally incapable" but your writing is horrible. what this says about your mental capabilities i will leave open to interpretation.

the people in this thread make up a small portion of FFR's actual user base. there is also a fair amount of thoughtless bandwagon behavior going on in this thread.

[yo man im awesome]

What in the fuck

[reuben_tate]

If downvotes are brought back, I'd like the ability for one to change their vote (I think someone else already suggested this somewhere else in the thread.) For two reasons,
1) Back when downvoting existed, there have been too many times where I've misclicked the thumbs down when I intended to click the thumbs up >.<
2) People's opinions of people change over time. If someone downvoted my profile, I'd like to do what I can to make myself a better person and fix any past wrongs I had with that person.

Seriously? You're still on about this?
Fuck it. I'm not even going to bother explaining how you're contradicting yourself again today. I'll just do some proofreading instead:

I mean, seriously, how hard is that?
Couple of Oxford commas omitted too but that's none of my business.

Hey, you have to put a comma in between independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction.

I don't care about capitalizing. As long as the meaning of what I write is easily understood, I am happy. Also, you should look up what an oxford comma is.

Compare my style of writing to this sentence below; the difference is quite obvious.

But...... this thread is not a place for editing each other's posts. This thread is about downvotes. I would appreciate it if you would stop trying to derail this thread.

Read your own poll.

Evidently, no. Move along now.

[mrpreggers]

taking away my right to downvote was one of the most un-American things ever

If you look at the poll for combo scoring vs raw scoring, you will see that combo scoring had more votes. the admins still decided to switch to raw scoring. polls arent always a good indicator of what is best for the community.

Aside from the poor choice of wording ('fuel' without context or followup) I don't see your point about that post. But fair's fair. Just wanted to know you weren't as stupid and trollish as you portrayed yourself to be in the first couple pages of replies. Now I know you're not stupid. Just naturally trollish whether you realize it or not.

I'll back off.

But for frak's sake, man, try to hear someone else's point of view. You've made your point. We get it. You want the choice back. Removing them is coddling and/or pandering. You're so "don't-give-a-fuck" that you want people to know when you don't like them and you want everyone else to know you don't like someone too by means of a downvote.

Did I miss any of your other major talking points?

Now, try this... when someone gives a response as to WHY they're removed, especially if that person is a mod or actually carries weight around here, try LISTENING, absorbing the information, and trying to understand it. When you just shoot someone down right away it gives the impression that you don't care about a constructive conversation unless people agree with you.

btw, if you're talking about the one stickied to the general talk forum, that's whether grandtotal should be calculated with raw or combo scoring, so your point becomes moot lol

i think it's time to call it quits

[yo man im awesome]

I mean yea only having upvotes is kinda circle-jerky and there was no good reason other than T R I G G E R E D to remove downvotes.

But

Why the fuck is that something people care about, profiles are dead.

Profiles are dead, the forums are on life-support, and the game is zombified.

If your biggest issue with the site is the lack of ability to downvote a profile (as un-American as it is), you might want to check your priorities for being on this site
