There are a few opinions floating around on either or not downvotes should be disabled.
I’m interested to see what everyone thinks and if there’s a majority consensus one way or the other.
So please reply in this thread with your preference and why. You can also debate it in the comments.
Edit 23-03-2024 - Thanks everyone for your feedback. It looks like opinions are split on this, with good arguments made on either side. As downvotes aren’t currently a big issue, we’ll leave them as they are and we can revisit this again in future if things change.
There has not been an issue present with downvotes so far but pro-active policing is at the heart of everything, right…
You could make it so that only comments can be downvoted, because I think it says enough if a topic does not have much action going on concerning it, and I feel that the rael big issue is when you see topics getting habitually downvoted by a single person who is going throough and d/ving every single topic…
That’s a good idea on the comment thing
