FYI, I have never downvoted any post, not even in jest.

Coz I don’t think there’s anything funny about that feature.

And I’m glad my closest friends are just like me, in this regard.

Said it when they announced it that won't be using it in admin announcements twice.

Not backing off on that either.

Just like I have never back down on my anti blocking policy of other users. Haven't backed down on that either in over 5 years.

@DeWayfarer Yeah if disliked someone enough I might mute them for a few weeks but downvoting and blocking, proper gay.

@Dusty101 Your pp says it all 😆
Atta girl! 😍💙 @Dusty101
Like a mask, some people just oppose it because it is being foisted upon them. I have no problem with a downvote, and I have used it because I can. Like any other emoji -- it expresses my point of view.
True!!! It’s really become so hyped up...that it really bothers me why tf are people getting so worked up over it...and leaving SW?!?

That’s taking it a tad too OTT! 🤔@BiasForAction
This downvote feature is totally useless in my opinion, no idea why it was introduced in the first place. I mean, I've read the explanation, but I still don't get it.

What´s the meaning to give the haters and bullies here another "weapon" in their hands with which they can make life difficult for others? Anonymously at that?

Supposedly it can't do any significant damage, but I'm waiting for the day when there's the first mass down vote... how are they going to protect the members here from that if they can't even manage to protect them from unjustified mass reports?
@Vivaci I have already received 2 down votes,... one for a positive uplifting post and one for a comment to a comment of a user insulting one of my friends... I was not insulting him, just asked the other to leave my friend alone... so you get such down votes also for good, positive things or just like that, without any reason and that's exactly what I mean. I'm not worried about me, I can handle it, it annoys me a bit but mainly I think those anonymous down voter are ridiculous.I'm worried about the members who are more sensitive, who struggle with self-doubt and have a vulnerable self-esteem.... Such users can be completely thrown off track by just one down vote and possibly become so insecure that they no longer dare to post here and talk about their problems.


And how will the admins control that? And how quickly will they react if one or more users are bullying another? Sorry, but I have my doubts that this will work as well as you imagine. But thanks anyway for your explanation :)
Don’t worry, the new algorithm will track down the mischief mongers, and keep a record of those downvoting with hidden agendas.

Good it doesn’t bother you. I think it’ll be very clear with time that the good ones who post about their personal problems and who are targeted by the bullies here, needn’t worry. The system will automatically highlight the bad ones after a while. @RobinPhoenix
@Vivaci How do you know all this?

I hope it will be this way.. only one thing bothers me about what you say: the statement "with time and after a while" I would be more comfortable knowing it would only take hours and not days or weeks for those who abuse the button to be discovered.

I down voted only one post
Coz I believe you’ve done it for a good reason. 😌 @SW-User
SW-User
@Vivaci Not really. I down voted nunos post announcing the down vote feature...

Also because I believe he down voted my comment first 👀
😆 You’re a silly goose, Menas


But I don’t think you were alone that day... 🤭@SW-User

I'm not a fan of it myself, and admit I used it only once, out of spite. For deleting my post, that was not rude or obnoxious.
😔 Awww....I’m sorry to hear that.

You should take it up with the admins. It’ll help them tweak the software a bit. 🤗@checkoutanytime
TheGoodGuy · M
Same. I'm abstaining from using that feature 👎🏽
That’s why you’re in my friends list. 🤓 @TheGoodGuy
Cheeky monkey...😆😏 Should I start counting then? @SW-User

@Vivaci hahaha I only downvote political threads that purposely cause drama and some nonsense nudes.
AdaXI · T
Totally agree.
