Excuse me, SIR, but I get particularly perturbed when someone criticizes my post without giving me something to respond to. Downvotes are passive-aggressive and just ego-killing.

I was on a site that had downvotes. Unfortunately, it was abused for vendettas. If UserA disrespected UserB, then UserB would downvote every single one of UserA's posts, causing UserA to lose 400 karma.

Downvotes became a tool for taking revenge on someone that disrespected you 3 years ago. It was lame

I probably would. But I then feel it would make the message boards trashy.

It's quite easy to tell from how people respond to your post how well your post is received.

Upvotes/Downvotes would be fine so long as they affected nothing and were purely cosmetic.

but for real most Reddit downvotes make no sense. Or they get downvoted because their cringey joke doesnt mesh with Reddits brand of cringe >_>

And this is why Reddit specifically doesn't count karma loss in those scenarios.

Pfft upvote/downvotes, such baby Reddit shit. I unironically bring up users' post to karma ratio.

Idk why people act like that isn't a good way to identify the shitposters that aren't worth the time of day.

I'm not defending it, I'm simply pointing out that they have a built-in system that prevents one person from drastically impacting your karma.

Which any board that has an upvote/downvote system should.

Imagine if instead of downvotes a poster's ignore/block totals from others showed in their posts.

Maybe than HERE but CE is also probably the worst board on GameFAQs now.
