You can’t downvote me even if you wanted to! MY MASTER PLAN IS FINALLY COMPLETE!
Now I will have the most downvoted post in the history of this site FOREVER!
MUAHAHAHAHAHA
It’s true it would feed them, however: 1) this is chapo, the land that loves trolling trolls back 2) that loops us back to the mods not being afraid to ban people for trolling, so the hypothetical troll will (probably) still be stopped in around the same amount of time.
Plus its not like downvotes ever dissuade trolls either, and there’s not much difference between a post with -3 and a post with no upvotes in the ranking
Hmm, that’s a good point.
My question now is, can we solve that problem without putting the downvote back? How?
maybe downvotes still exist but are hidden to everyone but mods, that way they can still spot egregious takes or lack of community support? So I guess, instead of a downvote, it’s more of a “I find this sus” button. Like a lesser report button
