Completely agree. The downvote rules on here are some faggy censorship shit. Stop protecting peoples “feelings”.
The idea that a down vote function as used at Poal protects feelings and is censorship is nigger tiered stupidity.
The traditional down vote was used to censor and you can reply as hurtful as you want. Where's the protected feelings?
A like, upvote whatever you want to call it means “I like or agree with this post. It’s a good post, more like this”
A dislike or downvote means “I don’t like or agree with this post. It sucks. Get fucked.”
By essentially only having an upvote button it literally protects people from a negative reaction or criticism. I know I know, “use the comments to express those opinions” but the problem is a LOT of the time I don’t feel like typing “you’re a retard and your post is bad for xyz reasons” when there is a fucking arrow system right there that expresses both negative and positive feelings really well.

Wrong and wrong.

Totally wrong.

Yes. The problem is you're a lazy fuck. I agree. And just as you suggested a downvote as you describe would serve to protect your feelings by giving you a short cut to be the lazy fuck that you are.
I don't have to like or agree with a post to think it's a good post and upvote it. Upvote good info, good finds, and effort posts. Downvote spam and shit that violates the ToS.
If you don't like a post, but not enough to motivate you to give it a negative comment, skip over it and move on. If you think the post is stupid enough to warrant a negative comment, give a negative comment. You don't get to decide to downvote shit to discourage other users from posting their bullshit.
Not compensating for you being a lazy fuck isn't protecting anyone.
