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

People here are pussies. Not because they dislike down votes but because they down vote without owning it. Its like the fat kid in the back row that yells f'n pussy to someone thatd beat their ass, then ducks into the crowd to hide or leaves. Im all for the thumbs down button, but lets not protect their vaginas. Just needs to be visible if its gonna be had, otherwise theres no legitimacy behind it. None. Right now, the typical thumbs downer probably doesn't even ride, lives in his parents basement, or runs metal mulisha graphics and has a boyfriend.

I thought downvotes meant you were down with what someone's saying?

Hmmm, back to not caring...

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.

You’re not getting the point dude. It’s the mob mentality that ruins it. Especially in this sport. It’s like 2 notches above the WWF crowd mentality.

I down voted you and I don't run metal mulisha graphics. and if you say mean things again you will hurt my feelings. Sad

I'm genuinely laughing about the 175 downvotes on the original post. But I guess the poll outvoted me on getting rid of them.

I guess I'll get my trigger finger ready for the people in this thread who love them so much. Laughing

Everyone taking this shit way too seriously. Upvote, downvote, who cares. Imagine me caring about strangers trying to troll me on the internet. Show the downvote. Won't change if I care but let the trolls be known

Get rid of both buttons. Not many here on vital are mentally stable enough to handle up or down votes. It’s embarrassing how many bitches on here cry about up and down votes.🤦‍♂️

Because the downvote is anonymous and the upvote is not, it encourages downvotes an discourages upvotes obviously. I just always figured the ones running this place like it negative and angry.

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...

Humans in 2023 act like entitled titty babies with a right to thumb their sniveling noses at everybody who disagrees with them.

 

Sad state of affairs - really

How about random surprise days where they are public? Or just make it totally random if they are public or secret, sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't.  Or after the same user down votes you a certain number of times it becomes public?

Basically what I'm going for is some mechanism that will further enrage the unstable people while entertaining the rest of us. I personally enjoy watching two grownups who know nothing about each other trying to win an insult war on a message board. 3e52b3a58b92d627f3bc58f6aaad3f793d2d04ad3c487415b835e5d7066052f8 1

I think the up and down votes should both be anonymous…but that each user should have a “user score” under their user name calculated by the number of up votes they received minus the total down votes they’ve received….

Trolls would be very obvious…and therefore much easier to ignore…

This  ^^^^

I'll use this analogy:   A friend of mine and I are huge Rush fans.   ...But, he also loves The Grateful Dead, who I openly and mercilessly trash as the 3rd worst band of all time.... behind Nirvana (#2) and Guns-N-Roses (#1).       He doesn't get all bent out of shape and write me off over it.        Too many fragile people lose their shit and hate you if you 100% don't agree with them these days.    They act as if a "dislike" or "thumbs-down" is going to somehow erase you.       Guess what, we all have different likes, dislikes and views.   I prefer hanging with people who can sack-up and take a difference of opinions.    

I'll end this with e-bikes (especially Stark) suck ass. Grinning

I'm sorta with you but I reckon it should be how many of each they've given out, it'd be a truer representation of the person's behaviour on the site

I strongly disagree with the "user score".... This is what China is doing with it's own people using the "Social Credit System".

 Bet your ass the tech oligarchs would love to see that implemented here in the states.   "Good little citizen,  here's your daily propaganda make sure you give it a thumbs up for extra Soylent Green tonight"

Ever watch the "Black Mirror" episode "Nosedive"?    It's scary to see how we're heading down this path. 

This place is pretty good at self-policing and taking care of actual trolls.      A troll isn't someone you disagree with.

I say add in some other buttons so we can really express ourselves.

We need buttons like "Super Pumped!", "Yeah, No, Yeah!", "LMAOROTGL" (Laughing My Ass Off, Rolling On The Ground Laughing!), "Vitarded", and "I Heart That!" (Applies to bikes, tracks, gear, and Mercedes Terrill)

Insanity to me that adults care so much about a stranger downvoting what they say on a moto forum.

Social Credit was, immediately, my first thought while reading the user score comment 😂

Surely even all of Vital can agree we want to stay as far away from most regular Chinese practices as possible... no? Still not unanimous? Ok.
