What's up with the downvotes

Is there a troll going around or something ?

  • I gave you a thumbs up.

  • Yeah there are a couple people who just abuse the voting system. Unless your posts get more than 3 or 4 downvotes, it's probably just trolls and not the real opinion of anyone.

  • Yeah. The mods really need to fix the downvote system, along with other things.

  • I'm always afraid to look at my comments after I post them, because I don't want to see how many downvotes I got. They kinda make me feel bad. And I don't know how to see who did it. Oh well. I'll just have to deal.

  • I usually just flip a coin when deciding whether to up or down vote. Feels more fair than not voting at all, because then the poster at least knows that someone has read their post.

  • "We should really regulate this kind of thing..." ~Snow White

  • We can't fix it as we are just community volunteers ourselves, I'm afraid.

    There should be a way for Moderators to see who downvotes or upvotes a comment. If you see excessive downvoting behavior on a victim (Violet is being downvote trolled) you give them a warning. I don't care if I get to see, but that should be something added for Moderators.

  • That would be nice, I agree, but that is entirely under the influence of Telltale.

  • I assume there is no "easy" way to get this to their attention. We could really use an upgrade to the forums when it comes to this kind of stuff.

  • Thank MtnPeak

  • I'd kinda prefer they take out the up/downvotes altogether. They're not very meaningful. The alternative is just to ignore them.

  • Hey! I didn't collect these 3345 likes for nothing!

    Luckily, dislikes don't count toward your account, so they don't hurt anybody, it just gives some people the wrong impression.

    Honestly in my opinion we would be better off without the system entirely, though you could do what i do and play with them!

    I see you V (ofcorse when i do that nobody dislikes :P)
