  • GOOOOOD! :D

    Puzzlebox from Telltale staff mentioned that they were looking into it.

  • Hilarious how everyone is getting dislikes.

    Anyway, if it really affects some of you, I guess I agree.

  • Yes...how about 1 to 5 stars (tombstones, walker heads..) whatever, then you can give it i to 5 depending on how MUCH you like it. and if you don't like it at all, don't give it any.

  • People crying about down-votes need to get a backbone and realize this is the Internet - why anybody would get upset about trivial internet comments is crazy.

  • Aint nobody "cryin'" ..just talking about it. you seem to have a prob with anybody with an opinion besides you.

  • Nope. Sorry, you're getting downvoted because people disagree with you, myself included.

  • so?.......... :p

  • I think downvotes aren't that bad. They show disapproval without having to type out anything. That can prevent quite a bit of fighting. I know video game forum fighting. I survived Bioware's boards after Mass Effect 3 was released.

    So, keep them in, I say. They help keep the peace.

  • Precisely!

    Why do people care about dislikes though? It seems pretty easy to just ignore them...

  • I also think that everyone should have to show who they are if they want to be on the internet. ( i know it won't happen)..y'know so babies won't get on the computer. you know how little kids are, still in diapers , trying to play adult games grabbing your phone like they are adults......

  • I'm sorry but this thread is literally the definition of crying.

    If you are so terribly offended about getting down-votes from random people on the Internet, I don't think you are mature enough to be on these forums.

    Sorry, but I don't think everybody should loose the down-vote function just because a few people have self-esteem problems.

  • I agree, i made a thread about this and all my comments got about 10 - 15 downvotes, same thing is happening to this thread its a little ironic.

  • whatever, you just trying to get a rise out of me, ya know, troll stuff. you are just proving my point Smilley!

  • If they take away downvotes, it's just gonna have people throwing stupid comments like "Dumb" and shit in there. Why can't people grow up and deal with it? Some random people on the internet don't like what you said ... Who gives a rat's ass.

    It's only going to make people either start attacking others, or more people arguing about shit that doesn't matter.

  • The real issue is why is there a purpose for it? I'm not being a baby i just simply think that if you have something that is negative you should actually state it and explain why instead of simply 'downvoting'. If you don't want to reply to something you disagree with, then it can't be such a big deal.

  • The trolls are having a blast down voting everything...

  • :D YAY! Ignore the downvote trolls, they are PISSED. If the downvote button is gone, so are they.

    Hmm, funny you should say that. You might get your wish sooner than later.

  • I like you. <3

    Because it's my opinion! get it? you just gave yours...RIGHT?

  • Then the voting should be taken away completely. No reason to up-vote shit either.

  • I agree, the amount of downvotes on this thread just proves Downvote trolls are all around.

  • Or maybe they disagree with some of the posts? Then again, this is the internet. "Anyone who disagrees with me is a troll."

  • I doubt it, first off those who will already do, second most users are 'lazy' like me if i kind of disagree with something i wont cause a fight over it and most users are the same. When i really disagree with sometime i downvote and reply when i don't really disagree with something i do neither.

  • You got me there. Just seems silly that people actually care, like, at all.

  • Because one has a purpose, the upvote button is if you agree with the comment you shouldn't have to say why you agree.

    If they take away downvotes, they should also take away upvotes with it. It would make sense- why get rid of one and keep the other?

  • They should just do away with all voting and opinions then when it comes to threads. I personally don't care -- but I also don't check the forums every 10 seconds to see if people love me or hate me. It really doesn't matter. I come here to get some news, and once and a while toss an opinion in there.

  • Nope, i never said that even posts saying 'downvote button shouldnt be removed' get a ton of downvotes of course if someone disagrees with me they are not automatically a troll.

    yes...up is positive down is negative...

  • Who cares? If the system is apparently so meaningless, just ignore it.

  • Perhaps they just appreciate irony. I can respect that.

  • I know right? Who really has the time to go to every post and comment. Well I guess some people do but the voting is just so damn easier. It's here, I agree, here's an upvote or I disagree, here's a downvote and move on. How do people not understand this?

  • Apparently people do "Care"

  • Because how does it help? I've seen users ask questions and get 5 downvotes because they are wrong, actually reply and tell them why they are wrong/incorrect.

  • ....You can respect a Troll?....is that what you are saying?

    Perhaps they just appreciate irony. I can respect that.

  • Perhaps. Or I respect irony, ironically.

    Take your pick.

    That title gets thrown around pretty liberally nowadays, so I'll wear it with whatever pride it warrants.

    The difference is that if people insult people in the forums rather than just down voting it's no longer anonymous, and it can be reported to moderators by clicking the flag button on the post.

    We do respond to flags, and respect is the first rule of the forum guidelines so insults aren't tolerated. So, if you see someone insulting someone else, or if you're being insulted, please don't insult back, but use the flag function to let a moderator know and we'll deal with it.

    Telltale staff is looking into removing the down votes, as the quote from Telltale's PR person puzzlebox states at the first post of this thread, so hopefully the down votes will be removed soon.
