Down Vote/Up Vote

JRT812JRT812 Posts: 4,697 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

Quick favor - explain this down vote/up vote thing. My other forums I frequent do not have this, but I noticed I had some down votes. One was probably warranted, but the other 4 must be from the OU fans (I would hope) who can't take a little ribbing

Do the down votes eventually lead to timeout and up votes only serve to bring a smile to your face? Just curious

    Do what feels right wrt the votes. Its a social status thing. There are no consequences for down votes from mods. There are consequences when you violate the rules or cause trouble.

    FWIW I Up vote to show agreed or it's just a great post. I don't DV for disagreeing just if I think it's in poor taste. If you hover the cursor over the DV you can see who it was.

    Just went to your DV and don't really see why anyone took offense to your comments. Wouldn't worry about it, I have 129 DV. BTW I DV @12ed if I agree with the comments or find it funny as He/She lives for DV :D

    I'm sure I will sleep well tonight. However, it is good to know the ropes around here.

    What is this chit? He/She? Bruh... I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. From now on I want you guys to call me "Apache," not this he/she CIS gendered patriarchy BS. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.

    Haha 10-4 Apache

    I have a hard time deciding when to UV or DV you @12ed. Either way, you earned a"vote" B)

  • ghostghost Posts: 86 ✭✭✭ Junior

    Scrolling through posts from my phone seems to cause down votes. If i see it i remove but surely i don't catch it every time.

  • HotDawgsAndMustardHotDawgsAndMustard Posts: 153 ✭✭✭ Junior

    Yeah. Mr. AH-64 lives for the downvote. Hate feeds the dawg.

    This has come up on this board in the past and what Den says here is basically how most people use the downvoting system.

    My only problem is I don’t use the up vote button often enough. Sometimes a post will make me laugh and I don’t even think to click up vote. I think I used to use it more back when I posted more.

    12ed thinks DV=wins. May work may not but he gets my DV just to be safe.

    I love giving him up votes but only because he asks for down votes all the time. I wonder if he is using reverse psychology on the forum. oh, oh.
