A user just got stripped of all his points and levels for downvoting. I disagree with this policy but lets see what poal has to say.

Yes. The current policy is best. Leave as is.
No. The current policy is gay. Allow downvoting
Fuck You!

Metrics? What are you a fucking data analyst?

Christ, the Voat migration here is looking to be as gay and annoying as the T_D migration was from reddit to Voat.

I'll wait for your counter-argument if you have one.

I've made the argument several times. Downvotes are abused by spergs and alts. Reddit uses downvotes and it's a shithole. /pol/ and the rest of 4chan have never used up or downvotes, and they're fine, probably better in a lot of ways than voat or poal.

The only people who want/need downvotes are fags. Upvotes bring popular stuff to the top, then you just ignore the rest if you want. See something you don't like? Close your nigger eyes.

"REEEEE BUT I WANNA DOWNVOTE IT SO PPL KEN SEE I DUN LIKE IT!!!"

Holy, what a little girl.

"It's analytical and metrical and numbers and I'm a smart person"

Lol, what a midwit.

Downvotes are abused

Completely agree that some design consideration is needed for abuse of the feature.

/pol/ and the rest of 4chan have never used up or downvotes

4chan is also anonymous while poal/voat etc are only pseudo-anonymous. Apples and oranges.

The only people who want/need downvotes are fags.

"Voat man bad!"

Upvotes bring popular stuff to the top, then you just ignore the rest if you want.

Are there measures in place to prevent sock accounts from upvoting content to the top? If not, downvotes are important.

See something you don't like? Close your nigger eyes.

Which is the appropriate response, comments against the content or silence? Let me know when you've made up your mind.

[REE you don't need the ability to show your dissent, peasant]

Are you afraid of downvotes?

[the word "metrics" triggers me]

You should probably look up what it means.
