Guest takingdeepanal Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) I replied to someone's topic without attacking them or mocking them - however, they downvoted me. They downvoted me again when I asked them to explain the initial downvote Is there a system which can be put in place whereby members have to explain why they are downvoting comments? Some of us work to build our reputations - and don't see why some people find the need to be petty in their hiding behind their keyboards.

rawsatyr Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 I noticed that too! Some odd characters 'red-smudging' fairly innocent stuff for what reason? Not vile enough? Not crude enough? Not self-destructive enough? Too 'nice'? You would expect more broad-minded tolerance on BZ where we have everything form innocent newbie bb-sympathizers to hardcore party whores running their lives on empty. We don't all run at the same speed. As to what I read (personally): there is LOTS where I just cringe. Guys wanting to 'destroy themselves', guys wanting to get every disease in the book like HIV and VD are exotic pets. Or guys wanting to be castrated and what not... I just cringe and move on. NO COMMENT, no 'reaction'!!! On the same vein: when you look at U-tube and find ANY timeless and incredible music video from PINK to Pink Floyd to Linkin Park... (for example) doesn't matter... with all the TENS of THOUSANDS of likes there is always at least a few hundred thumbs down. So you can't take it personally. Maybe a 400lbs curmudgeon in the basement of his parents' house HATES IT, because he is recalling the popular kids in high-school making out to 'comfortably numb' and him sitting alone in the dark... who knows As to 'people hiding behind key-boards' on BZ: I WISHED there was a feature where we could BLOCK our content from the rare piss-ants who repeatedly rain on the parade without explanation (because truly, there isn't a good one)... And YES, we work HARD on our slut, whore and SUPERSTAR statuses lol 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkroomTaker Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 How does reputation work? Is it to do with people who rate your posts etc or like your content? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators rawTOP Posted June 9, 2020 Administrators Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 The reputation system is what it is. In the end if you're a good member you'll get way more up votes than down votes. But people who are truly disruptive or spamming the site will get way more down votes than up votes and that will prevent them from moving to the next stage of membership. So don't worry about it. As I (slowly) build the new sites I'll try to take stuff like this into consideration. IMHO, what's needed is to see if someone's negativity is shared by others. So if they consistently down vote things other people are up voting, then that's a problem. The percentage of their votes that are down votes should also be within certain limits (1 or 2 standard deviations from the mean). So I get what's needed, I just can't fix it right here and now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a useful tool for people, go to their recent activity and if everything is negative, now you know something useful about them. If the operators of this site had infinite time on their hands, showing a distribution of people's votes on their profile would be interesting. CORRECTION: You can already do this! Click on people's "REPUTATION POINTS" and it will show you how they have voted. GREAT SYSTEM!

If you click on that box, it takes you to the breakdown of "Reactions Given", further breaking that into each possible reaction. Also listed is "Reactions Received", which is also broken down into each possible reaction.

It doesn't work on my admin profile, but on my regular user test profile I see what you're talking about 👍. Weird that admins are lacking the feature.

For what it is worth, other people can tell when I like/react to their posts. I sometimes get thank you messages. I cannot see who reacts to my posts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's bizarre that on your admin account you can't see that. At least now you know about it and can check from your test profile. 😊 Glad I could help, Sir!

But someone said on here, to ignore and move on. Good advice. On another note, I cannot do anything with this data though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked a simple question - yet @raw773 chose to downvote the post. Can you please explain what was so offensive that you had to do that?
