Then I get all excited, I go there only to find it's a thumb down ..i'm like "Aww man!" 3 minutes ago, LimeMaster said: Honestly it's a mixed bag currently. According to this thread.

It's a problem with this new touchy-feely society. People need to grow a set of balls. Heck, I found it amusing when a guy went back into a thread and disliked every post of mine and a couple others. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+trag3dy 4,104 Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) For me it's not the thumbs down that bothers me but when a specific user goes through an entire thread and down votes every post you make without leaving any sort of response to any of it that bothers me. I've even had posts where someone made a good point and I'd reply with something as innocuous as "fair enough" or something similar and even that gets thumbed down without a response. At that point they're not doing it because they disagree they're doing it because they have some sort of weird vendetta and it feels extremely childish. I feel like if you're going to go through an entire thread an down vote every post a person makes a reason should be required otherwise why are you there? If you're not adding anything to a conversation then it amounts to being a low caliber troll at that point. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
