Correction... The userbase of Poal discourages down voting as a form of dissenting. If you disagree it's encouraged to use your big boy or big girl words to explain why instead of drive by down voting like a pussy with no explanation. Down voting should be limited to spam posts or posts that go against Poals TOS.

lol No, he doesn't. We have an algorithm that prevents vote gaming. You should know that already.

So when do we downvote and when not?

And please be nice or we will take the whole thing outside if you feel me.

Down vote spam, off topic, disinfo, and counter productive comments.

Up vote funny, informative and interesting comments.

Don't vote if you disagree or find it uninteresting.

I think I miss spoke. Maybe I should have said “trolls have convinced people the down voting on this site is discouraged and has negative consequences so people have fallen out of the habit of down voting and up voting.“

Either way, people are not up voting content enough and it is fucking up your websites ability to sort content. You need to actively encourage people to up-vote.

Also, your tone is very uncharitable. You frequently come off sounding like a Jew.

Exactly what happened to me and I'm still confused. Dunno if it was trolls but at the times I saw it being talked about no one really came out and said no it's okay to downvote.
