What about the Upvote/Downvote Counter? Tell me what you REALLY think about them!

As for me, I occasionally glance at them, but I couldn't care less about them. G5

Play Smart! That's IF there is such a thing as playing smartly!!

Overall it doesn't matter to me but there have been a few times where I don't understand the downvoting of some posts including few of mine in the past.

And those posts weren't controversial and yet somebody had the energy to downvote anyways.

That's my take.

Ranett, Lately there are a few people down voting posts not for the context of the post but because they simply don't like the person who made the post. Maybe a simple thumbs 👍 up could be used for a 'like' and no down votes at all.

If someone needs multiple accounts on this site?? They truly need to get a life.

Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.

I almost always get the same amount of down votes on what ever I post. I tell people good luck. And it gets down voted. 🙄😂 I know who it is though. "Edit" See ^^^^^^^^^^^^Post was not up for a minute. And was down voted. Elmer stays hating. 😂😉

Why start a poll on the topic if you are not bothered by this option? I realize some members are not tech savvy but I am sure Todd monitors for duplicate accounts.

I have seen people get down votes of 8 or more. It is the internet. Who has such low esteem to even care about this non issue?

Do you all whine when you get a response comment or emoji to something you post online? It is interesting that the men whine about this and the women ignore it.

I find it useful but did not even pay attention to it till someone ranted about it. Focus on your number picking. I believe people can vote as they please and it has no effect on my life.

DO NOT BE AFRAID.

There used to be a ranking system for the votes, 0-5 stars. You would just click on the star to vote. Then anyone could click on each star and see the name of each person that gave them that star. Naturally they would get a bunch of 5 stars from people that liked them or the post, and 0 stars from the people that didn't like them. And there were some who would give 0 stars to every post no matter what it was or who wrote it.

Before you play there are 2 choices to make. Low sum or high sum and consecutive pair or no consecutive pair. Choose correctly and you go from 120 combos down to 30. Not a bad starting point.

about that upvote/downvote counter.

That thing got more mood swings than my Aunt Dottie when she’s off her decaf.

Upvotes, downvotes — whatever.

The up and down votes are probably very important to the 5 people voting "They're Great". What's the record for the most down votes?
