Retarded according to who, though? This site has just experienced a massive influx of new users who seem to not understand jokes a lot of the time.
Edit: and i came from Voat too so obviously not everyone. But try to put yourself in the shoes of someone who's been here for two years. A bunch of people come here and immediately demand a rule change so they don't have to read something they don't like? Gtfo of here.
Retarded according to the voters. I just dont think having downvotes or downvoting should have any effect on what I can post, or what suspicious tag I get.
Even if I saw something massively downvoted, I'll still read it (unless I recognize the user and know they post retarded stuff) and if I happen to like it or agree, I will upvote.
This whole push to change the rules is coming from goats who just arrived. It's easy to say "my way is better" when it's what your used to.
Our system encourages dialogue. This whole downvoting thing encourages a reddit-like herd mentality, which is something I hope Voat users will learn to shed after being on this site for a while.
I'm all for dialogue, but once we start getting people posting (like in Voat) everyday about how they want to cum on little children...there is no dialogue to be had. Do you want to talk to those people?
From what I've heard about reddit, downvotes actually put a limit on your posting or commenting abilities right? That censorship, which I think is wrong. But I'm not here to change anything...just to share my opinions.
This, don't let the voat boomers nigger your site up.
