Maybe we need a downvote after all...

OH FFS NO WE DON'T NEED A DV!

Psst! Sometimes I feel like people use the fun button as a substitute for a downvote.

That would be stupid as it still boosts the post: bulb+2 fun =+1.

This is incorrect, so I'm voting it FUN.

Getting paid while being wrong, feel like a greedy politician now.

Don't be destructive to prove a point. You're only harming the site by supporting content you seem to be bad.

Eager to tell me how to vote?

How to vote? Yes. What to vote on? No.

If you think that things are bad, don't vote for them. It's as simple as that; doing otherwise is harmful for the site.

It's not your perogative to tell me how to vote.

I'm merely repeating the instructions told to me by magnora7.

[–]HorseMeat 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

It doesn't matter. You can't really control how people use it.

[–]sawboss 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I agree! In fact, I have done it already!

[–]HorseMeat 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Oh you!

SAYING THINGS LOUDLY DOESN'T MAKE YOU RIGHT!

I agree with you, but completely disagree with the way you're trying to put across your point of view.

I don't think that would have a net benefit, since the long-term negative effects on the culture would more than balance out the short-term benefits.

Maybe once we've taught people to use the existing votes properly, we can add a new one. But we can't call it "downvote".

I agree. That was the one thing reddit had going for it. You still had the option to see all the comments but all the trolls get pushed to the bottom which was kind of nice.
