- Use common sense and respect personal differences in the community: sexual and other inappropriate language or imagery, political rants and belittling the opinions of others will get your posts deleted and result in warnings and/ or banning from the forum
- 3/17/19 UPDATE -- We've updated the permissions for our "Football" and "Commit to the G" recruiting message boards. We aim to be the best free board out there and that has not changed. We do now ask that all of you good people register as a member of our forum in order to see the sugar that is falling from our skies, so to speak.

I’m guessing this was an accidental change by the Devs, as this feature was never requested. I too think you should be able to see who downvotes you... I’m sure @JeffSentell can contact them to fix the anonymous downvotes back to being publicly available.
Am I missing something on why people hate being DV’d? Do you get suspended from the forum or something if you get too many?
It’s probably my lack of knowledge about it. I just want some clarification about why it’s a problem.
Fine, then those who DV should be comfortable standing behind their choices.
Wait... You guys care actually about downvotes? I thought this forum was for adults
You're alright Teddy.
Don’t make me blush...
Internet communication is already sheltered enough making people keyboard toughs.
More importantly I think that the quality of this Board remains great.
5 DV on a post hides it. You can still see it if you click it though.
If you start a thread and it gets 5+ DV without any UV it starts to sink
and I’m not sure how the scoring thing works, but I believe you lose part of your point total when you get a DV and once you get into negative points you can’t start new threads or something
You wear **** shoes. Sorry it's hard to come up with good insults after a long night.
You don't or at least didn't lose points with a down vote you actually gained.....since we as mods don't get real points anymore I cannot say it has changed since the upgrades
At least I wear shoes can you say the same?
Downvoted just because. I stand behind it. Y’all are concerned with someone who you don’t know and their opinion of you? C’mon guys, this seems like millennial type stuff.
I'm not a fan of allowing the identities of those who DV to be hidden.
Most of the DVs I see fall into one of two groups. One is posts which I think most everyone would want to DV. The other group contains good posts; I don't understand why anyone would DV any of them.
To me it's rude to DV a reasonably made post just because I disagree with the poster's opinion.
I think we should generally encourage one another to post in a friendly environment.
I'm even willing to be nice to fans of the swamp varmints.Well, let's not go to extremes here.
Go, Dawgs!
My point is this is all much ado about nothing. We spend an inordinate amount time debating the logistics of downvotes which are ultimately meaningless.
Id be fine if we got rid of all voting, the value here is in the discussion and analysis.
Sign #1431 that football can’t get here soon enough.
