SyxtySyx 184 Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) A few months back, I downvoted a comment that this user posted that I thought was racial, off color, and non constructive. I'm sure he or she meant it as a joke. Today, he or she scoured the forums downvoting everything he or she could find posted by me.

V-Alfred 367 Posted June 5, 2018 Oh wow, "down-vote" is sacred.. It can light "wild fire" if used at wrong person or reason.. Should we summon her who shouldn't be summoned? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SyxtySyx 184 Posted June 5, 2018 I'm not super butt hurt. Is it a coinsidence that the only 2 posts that I have ever downvoted were posted by members that have -1 reputations? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He got similar problem even before with you. I guess, he is kind a guy who likes "harsh-direct" and sarcasm which sometimes make people misunderstanding especially with strangers. From my point of view his "revenge" act isn't right, and clearly show how immature he is. Oh man, just be patient and thinking clearly, don't get triggered. Let @Ane take a look and take wise action.

bojo2736 1016 Posted June 5, 2018 I don't know if it is the same person, but I disagreed with what a poster said and downvoted. She/he went on a downvoting spree as well. I guess it made them feel better? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even a funny and perfectly valid joke can still be inappropriate for the forum. The fact that the person went on a downvoting rampage in retaliation reveals a lot about the character of the person. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ane 1213 Posted June 5, 2018 They've been warned You are of course free to downvote a post when you see fit, but there should be a reason for it, and going on a "downvoting spree" is definitely not cool. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, not cool.. btw this can be our lesson to implement something in the forum, like 'need to or must' put reason on downvote just like when editing a post, so person who got downvoted and readers knows why it's downvoted. Cool, lesson learned. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not like people who are interested in a topic say to themselves, Hmm this has been down voted I better not read it. I think most people don't even look at how many downs or ups they have. It's social nonsense to care what someone you don't even know thinks about something you write so don't take it personally. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bojo2736 1016 Posted June 5, 2018 It can effect reputation. Which is only important if you are not well known on the forum. Not important IRL but it could effect you on the forum. I dunno. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hahaha, oh well, if 'someone' doesn't really cares, they won't give a **it when downvoted. Like bojo said, it affect reputation, and reputation in forum is like value of you. From reputation, people are able to know how good/trustworthy you're, etc. I know it's not fair for newcomer, but this system is commonly used in many forums and seems working fine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
