Currently downvotes are enabled on a trial basis, this was done by me to see if they can be enabled to prevent spam from rising to the top of communities, along with the fact that is another form of interaction/feedback.

However I’ve gotten some pushback for this and so I’d like to see the general consensus of this decision. Please put any comments/concerns in this thread, and please vote here: (Link gone poll is done)

the results of this poll and the comments will determine if we keep or remove downvotes again

    Like I said I understand what you’re saying, my answer is it’s not always as simple as doing something that makes one group of people happy, I have to weigh the options, which is why I made this post.

    Also, I don’t get paid to do this, they crypto money goes 100% to paying for hosting the site to my knowledge. All the admins have day jobs.

      I know, it was a joke because we can all see what the finances are.

      Truth is, as I think you already know, that you couldn’t pay me enough to overcome this issue.
