The downvote is here

[AragakiAyase]

We must all downvote synth in celebration

[lurker]

[YoshL]

[Charu]

I'mma downvote some poor fools

[TheRapingDragon]

Yeah, I noticed it was back when I logged in this morning and Jiz had downvoted me. I'm guessing he's done it to everyone who disagreed with him in the threads. I can only imagine how much of a spree he's gone on.

Don't worry. I used to think it meant everything, that vote. I would lie awake and worry about what people were saying about me, log in every five minutes just to see if that thumb was there. I would have panic attacks in work over it.

But I think I've turned a corner. Counselling helped, made me realise my priorities lay beyond the thumb. It's all about the fingers now. Hot damn do I love me some fingers. Now, if they ever brought in a down-finger, well, I think that'd be the end of me.

I should have added a second thumbs up icon instead.

You should just reset all thumbs up so that we can redo it with the new thumbs down option.

Also, instead of decrementing the number of thumb ups it should have its own count of how many thumb downs.

Yeah. You thought he was an annoying, self righteous bastard before, look at him now that he's been vindicated.

You idiots have no idea what you've done or what monster you've created. If Synth's idea was to get MORE people to come into the fold this isn't the way to do it. I'm seriously considering leaving the site for good this time.

[ItsOnlyDanO]

glad to see we have our priorities right on this site

[-JiZ53-]

It literally took them like two minutes to change it back...

[_Zenith_]

And it would take them even less to remove them once again

[Mister_Raccoon]

What the fuck does it matter anyway? What fucking good does it do except to give passive aggressive little dirtbags a way to indirectly insult someone while letting everyone know it at the same time?

All that talk of meetings and progress and shit and this is what you fuckers came up with? And you don't see anything wrong with that picture?

And to think I actually cared enough to want to help out. Boy was I backing the wrong horse.

[-JiZ53-]

Dude, you are insufferable. Quit trying to start forum drama, nobody cares. This is my last post in the thread.

I'm guessing someone got downvoted...
edit: (iono if ur serious or not, but the votes take like 2 seconds for mods to act./deact. it's not like they spent a whole day of coding to implement it)


Anyways, nice to see change i guess. even though it's not exactly what i had in mind

Spoken like someone who doesn't get it.
JiZ voted everyone down who pointed out it was a terrible idea in the first place. Getting downvoted, if you haven't figured it out by now, isn't the effing point.

Here's a provocative thought challenge: Name one way, seriously just one, that this "feature" is beneficial to the site going forward? Don't worry. I'll wait.

Now I get that it's arbitrary and that downvotes are, more or less, just some passive aggressive way to say "I don't like you." And aside from the passive aggressive part, that's not a big deal.

But if the idea is to get more people back here or encourage newer folks to stick around, you're gonna have a hard time with that if some of these twits with their newly regained sense of "power," no matter how inconsequential it is, start downvoting people just because they can.

Y'all have literally set FFR back a decade by making it like a friggin high-school popularity contest again.

What is even going on in this thread.
