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. 

 

Heaven help me, I agree with Magoofan, in that I, too, think this place does an adequate job of policing itself, and I, too, think a troll isn't someone you disagree with. Even when I read posts I think are completely absurd (like, for example, every horse's-ass thing Magoofan posts about the wonders of the incredible, game-changing, sport-saving Stark Varg), I keep my trigger finger on the safety until I consider whether or not the person involved has the communication skills necessary to make their point concisely. If they don't, I just move on, as otherwise, I'm taking aim at too easy a target. I've seen many others do the same here, they consider the source before they fire back. The anonymous downvote button is the perfect weapon for people who, for whatever reason, want to fire back from the safety of a bunker - and I respect that.

Oh, and one more thing: Yes, Magoofan, Rush is the bomb and Guns n' Roses and Nirvana do both suck - so yet again, our minds are in agreement. 

Oh, the humanity.

Just take the anonymous away, so it's clear who is being an anti social dickhead

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.

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 suck ass!

Downvotes never bother me, upvotes aren’t making my day either. I like the voting system for the little bit of feedback, but it’s not a big deal either way. I do think losing anonymously voting would be better, but it’s just not worth much more of my day than it took to type this out..

I did downvote the OP, and I’d do it twice if I could!

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...

It’s not funny or rad to see heartfelt posts downvoted, and I don’t think downvotes are troll bait.  You have another option?

Did you get some sand in your vagina?…try hard pack next week.

Oh no…Don’t “effing” downvote me!

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)

Yesss, great!

It just requires the opening of an UFC sub forum to settle disagreements with great threads like "KillerBubba69 is a rat downvoter bastard, come and downvote me face to face, you muthafucka!"

As an anti social dickhead, I love your idea.

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…

And watch democracy go down the drain...

Right now, I really feel like downvoting you and downgrading your user score, and I bet you'll return the favor, since I'm a french commie.

Before we get rid of the down vote, we should have another Poll.

This place isn’t a democracy…and to conflate support of some sort of peer driven user-rating system on a private, meaningless forum focused on a niche sport, to communism or support of communism or support of the end of democracy, or that it would lead to communism or the end of democracy, or that support of such a system here somehow equates to support of such a system politically…well, seems like some moto guys are melodramatic drama queens….

Something is fucked in your brain if you think GNR and Nirvana suck, nevermind your super weird obsession with typing the words stark varg.

Bears are still the best OG downvote I don’t care what you say! Gibby tried to make this place lame like facebook because that’s where the up down votes came from. The bears were fun, you couldn’t hide from people, had to own it, it was a competition to out bear one another and became a badge of honor if someone beared your comment.

What an un-American idea. Getting rid of the downvote infringes on our first amendment right to privately bully and shame people on the internet for being idiots, as the founding fathers clearly intended.

@bvm111, your "LOL I'm a Bird" meme is way overplayed. It used to be funny, but try to save it for special occasions.

There's my un-anonymous downvote.

If I actually found you worth engaging, I'd probably say something like, "Of course I'm not hitting on all cylinders - I've gone electric." But I won't because, as I posted earlier, I avoid taking shots at easy targets, and you are just wayyyyyyyyyy too easy to hit betwixt the eyeballs, bucko.

To tell you the truth, if they were to get rid of the downvotes, I'd probably feel a little out of sorts. You see I've aquired a couple of very loyal and dependable 'downvoting stalker groupies', and it's become so ordinary like looking back and seeing my shadow that if they went away it would be rather odd.

You got all that in a tad over two months on the board and 90 posts? Impressive.....
