    How do you know this? I wish the powers that be would make such things widely known. For instance, If a DV has a function other than simple disagreement with the opinion of another, then people should be educated on it. Seems to me some use the DV in a way not intended. Should be reserved for real trolls, not for a different opinion from one's own. If everyone observed this, the forum would be a better place.

    I agree. I most often use the DV when I feel a post has been unduly "abusive or mean". If I disagree, I usually post my disagreement. I use the UV to agree.

    That's exactly how I've been doing it as well. Pretty much assumed it was the same as any other forum that I've been on in the past.

    I found out by accident. There were several Spam messages and all had 4 spam votes.

    As I added mine, I received a message that the thread was removed for moderator review.

    This happened for all the spam messages with 4 votes. I figured this deletion wasn’t a coincidence.

    5 DV buries a post which you can click on to see but is not readable without clicking on it. As they say "we come here to bury @12ed, not to praise him". Apologies to Shakespeare. :D

    @Denmen185, lend me your ears for a moment.

    I rather delete than bury. That way the evil that me do doesn’t live after them. ;)

    I say this, of course, with all due respect to you and our friend Willie.

    Yep I just got that same thing with 5 or 6 spam posts
