I'm all for a voting system, but if those votes have consequences, then I agree voting should be regulated to avoid large groups forcing their viewpoints on others. Also, if votes come with consequences besides that of people seeing your vote counts then I wouldn't call it speech.

There's a fucking down vote button. Period. Why is everybody so scared of it? Why do you use the word 'censored'?? If there's a comment like I got yesterday about somebody wanting to fuck my dead mother!!!! USE IT!!!!

You use it for spam.

Then the button should be changed to say "report spam". A down arrow below an up arrow does not suggest the down is for reporting spam. It suggests it is the opposite of up, which is to say up it is like/agree according to how the vast majority of sites use an up arrow. Why have confusing UI/UX if it means something other than what is generally understood to have another meaning? Having to explain or defend bad UI/UX just means that the design is poorly thought out.

I think it's wrong to assume the up arrow means "I agree." I tend to upvote people who put some effort in, even if I'm arguing with them. Up could also mean "important."

Maybe.

I deemed your comment “non spam” by pressing the up arrow.

Downvote brigading is more likely to promote a herd mentality. And that is certainly what the feature would be used for if the downvotes were able to hide posts.

I don't know entirely how downvotes are handled by poal, but as I understand it the mods assblast your account if you get enough downvotes

So maybe a system where you decide what determines content being visible to you?

One. One downvote wiped out my 2 yo account, sent me to -100 and branded me “suspicious behavior”. One downvoat.

That'll teach ya

So then what's your stance regarding all the downvote stuff?
