Reminder: Please Downvote Only to Flag Inappropriate Content
Hey Gang,
I'm seeing an uptick in downvoting to, I presume, express displeasure. Please don't. If a topic doesn't speak or appeal to you, move along, please don't downvote it. Please use the downvote button for content that doesn't belong here because it is inappropriate.
Seems there should be a new voting system. Up and down for agree/disagree, and flags for inappropriate content that doesn't require explanation and submitting a report. Submitting too many flags that turn out to be nothing mutes the user.
If you disagree, I think that's what the reply button is for-- state your disagreement and have a discussion (keeping it civil, of course). Just driving by and downvoting does not add anything, in my opinion.
