You mean socially retarded spergs finally getting a platform and a voice, without being laughed at or bullied into submission?
Spend 10 minutes on reddit, you'll be downvoted to the point where your posting quota is so long it's impossible to maintain any reasonable conversation. No one argues with you, no one proves you wrong, they just downvote you and run away, pretending you never existed.
If you claim to be for free speech, then complain when people shout you down, you are not about free speech. You are about protected speech.
How dumb are you? Free speech is me saying something and you calling me a faggot. Free speech isn't me saying something and you and your 50 alt accounts downvoting me and making it so that no one ever reads what I say.
/pol/ has been fine for years before you retards decided you need a number beside a post to tell you how to think.
A downvote is a form of speech, same as an upvote.
Downvotes are restricted.
In no way is POAL a FREE SPEECH SITE.
Free speech isn't a silence button, faggot. Free speech is you going into the thread you disagree with, and speaking/typing whats on your mind.
A POLICY, by DEFINITION, is POLICED speech.
I want to use the downvote button how I fucking feel.
The majority of those downvotes are bots, power mods and chinks. Not the same thing.
If it enables that kind of faggotry in any way, it's just as bad.
If you see a post you disagree with either argue against it, or close your eyes. Why do you niggers have to downvote?
"NYEH SHOWED HIM! NOW HE HAS LESS INTERNET KARMA!"
What a bunch of fucking faggots.
You missed the point completely. There is no need to for everyone who visits the site to see every post. If poal grows like I hope it will there will need to be some kind of filtering of posts. That's how and why every other site on the internet allows downvoting. It filters the trash. Right now poal is tiny and it does not matter. Imaging if poal was the size and popularity of reddit? Not enough hours in the day to look at everything.
