August 12, 201214 yr Is there any chance you would consider switching the positives back so we could see what users "liked" a post? I could do that if people wanted. Yes. I need to know who my true friends are.
August 12, 201214 yr Wasn't just one guy abusing it, it was several people. Very unfortunate. Admin...I am guilty of this. The power went to my head. :wee
August 19, 201214 yr Author I wish it would come back too. Is there a way to limit the number of dislikes a person can make in a day to prevent abuse?
August 19, 201214 yr Author No way to do that in the current system but an interesting feature idea. If I could find a way to have it here and lessen the abuse, I'd have no problem bringing it back. What I'd really like to do is be able to set it on a per user basis and just take it away from people who won't use it right.
August 19, 201214 yr Nah. Even if you put a cap, people would still find a way to abuse it. "I can only use 20 a day? All 20 to him and I'll be on it tomorrow!"
August 19, 201214 yr Author Nah. Even if you put a cap, people would still find a way to abuse it. "I can only use 20 a day? All 20 to him and I'll be on it tomorrow!" I doubt that people really cared that much to plan it out so deliberately. I noticed a couple of posters here getting downvoted a ton, but that was probably because their posts were very trolling (saying the same annoying stuff over and over) or just plain stupid.
August 19, 201214 yr Contrary, penguino. There was a specific poster who deliberately went through and down-voted all of my posts that he could find over a 3 day span because I upset him, totaling something around -30 or -40. It sounds immature, childish, etc., sounds like nobody would do that and all... but people are immature and childish. And people would do that.

August 19, 201214 yr Author Oh. I wasn't aware of that. :lol Yep, and it was happening with others too.
August 19, 201214 yr Author Yeah, not that my opinion matters, but you made the right decision if that kind of stuff was going on. Hopefully in the future there might be a way to customize the features to prevent that kind of abuse.
August 19, 201214 yr Author Your opinion does matter, everyone's does. My goal is to get it better customized and back online eventually.

Every post I did had a negative 8 or so, even when trying to help others I vote for permabans for users who abuse it.
August 19, 201214 yr Rough... there's a charitable like on my behalf to pull you out of the doldrums.
August 19, 201214 yr I honestly didn't know people actually cared about this liking/disliking posts feature. The forum is for us to have discussions and voice our opinions. Who really cares if some random person "downvotes" your posts on a public message board? Concentrate on the content; not the voting system.
August 20, 201214 yr Author I almost enabled the system again just to down vote every one of Das Texan's old posts.
August 20, 201214 yr I'd down-vote the hell out of that post. Good thing I couldn't care less if you did.
August 20, 201214 yr I almost enabled the system again just to down vote every one of Das Texan's old posts. Is there a fun story to this or... just cause?
