Change my mind.

Yes, I know I'm going to get 1000's of DV's for this.

Nah, then I'd end up clicking far less.

I think the only reason I get downvotes on here is because y’all see my name and assume I’m latinx

I’d rather have a personal archive of posts that keeps posts even if a thread is removed.

I’ve put in a lot of time on some quality posts that get flushed down the hole just because some other douchebag posted something objectionable.

I could start a new thread with my amended post if it didn’t contain any hint of the the offending comments/topic.

This is the only way the voting system will ever have any meaning. And will cut out a lot of the downvote stalkers.

Caring about upvotes & downvotes before reading suggests weakness of mind and that you only care about the opinion of the mob vs truth. It suggests a lack of character.

The emphasis should be on better thread titles. Then you'll know if it's a topic you find worth investigating or if you have something worthwhile to add.

Better yet upvoting or downvoting oneself should change the color of the meter to let everyone know

I’d like to be able to see how many total upvotes and downvotes each poster has.

There’s got to be a way to make upvotes and downvotes mean something and serve some function

Having this voting shite is bad enough -- give them any kind of function/value and this place becomes reddit w/DV and UV campaigns

However if we must have voting, at least make the votes public.

You're getting the same avalanche of downvotes I got on the help page when I first got on these forums and asked about if we could see who up and down voted.

Everybody skeered

We need to be able to see if there’s attached images in threads inferring such before we can see up or down votes.

No! Secret voting is essential to nonbiased votes.

It allows people to vote without worrying if someone knows if they upvote or downvote something
