it's because many of the users are from CA.

LOL you got that right, the guy wines about not being able to get over his ex wife/ girl friend and then posts things like the pussification of motocross. Laughing

Truth is, most everyone has some interest in the up/down votes of their posts. Anyone saying otherwise is full of shit …it’s human nature to seek approval/disapproval from others. Yes, some may care more or less than others.  Whatever..

When I see a good post downvoted I often wonder what’s wrong with people. 

I 100% think we need to be displaying down voters..

 

Truth in this mans post.  ^^^^

Human nature.

Who doesn't like a "nice job" or a "slap on the back" approval?     

Downvotes really mean nothing if you have conviction in what you're saying.    Speaking for myself, I expect to get downvotes because I'm an opinionated SOB.   Grinning     There are literally people who downvote everything I post.    I can't imagine the mental anguish/state that would cause someone to live that way. 

The downvotes for good things/posts/images shared are pathetic by miserable/petty little people.   Someone could announce they cured cancer and dickless people here would downvote it.        I vote make em public.       ...but I'm guessing the reason the admins don't is because it will cause hissy-fits and open board arguments by emotionally fragile people.

Keep the down vote, but lose the anonymity.

I don't care, but have to admit is irritates when you see someone posting something 'heartfelt' about their kids or family and you see that get downvoted...  but for example, if this gets downvoted, who cares Smile I downvote personally if someone writes something about two strokes bringing them back, as I think it's such backward movement, even if I grew up and still love the CR250, but it has no place in modern society.

I didn't downvote...I'd rather comment openly on it.

What an idiotic statement to admit to....."I downvote personally if someone writes something about two strokes bringing them back, as I think it's such backward movement, even if I grew up and still love the CR250, but it has no place in modern society."

2 strokes forever muther-fucker....

I rarely even remember the function exists.  I'll hit the the thumbs up if I agree but can't add anything useful.

I don't remember ever hitting thumbs down.  I either rebut or simply ignore.

If it goes away...cool.  if it doesn't...ok.

Hard to believe grown men could get so upset about something so stupid as downvotes that they want to be able to go back in and investigate who did it.

The trolls around here don't need bait... They just continually post stupid shit. 

Or you can be like @mxaddict and spend most your day finding every post someone make and downvoting it. Makes him feel warm and fuzzy inside. 

PS. there is a way to see who downvoted you if you look at the HTML code. 

AWE, did I hurt your feels...

There will always be people that express negativity anytime there is a mechanism to do so. They're kind of like a subset of retards, like the retards of retards. God bless 'em and their curious ways.

I suspect most of the chronic downvoters are just disgruntled humans.  Mad at mom and dad, the kids, spouse, the job, everything.

Most of the people that use the downvote are lurkers most likely. If you look at Vitalmtb it’s the same so I think it’s just a  vital thing. Just makes the forum more anonymous and lame than it already is but so be it.

I just wish the board alerted us to our posts that get downvoted like it does the ones that get upvoted.   I'd be a lot easier for me to find threads I've posted in that way.

Woohoo

The down vote button is nothing but troll bait. People get off on down voting even posts asking for prayers for downed riders. I don't know if its bots or what, but it's just stupid.

Maybe a poll will help convince the mods...

Stop being a wuss! 

I tell my 5 and 6 year old daughters the same thing when they whine and pout about little things that don't really matter like most kids do. My 9 year old gets it.

We all grow up at different rates, and good luck to you on your personal growth and development journey. Maybe someday you'll be as tough as a 4th grader. I'm rooting for you!

If you're not getting downvoted you're not talking logic.
