It would get rid of all the shitposting.

No. Because then we'd see real conversation die in favor of reposts that get reposted because they get upvoted.

I could make some stupid database schema that allows the users to upvote / downvote a thread, but it wouldn't affect the bump order, and I can't be fucked to destroy a perfectly usable forum. One of the last remaining ones in fact.

No. It's bad enough that when people don't agree with you on Reddit you get downvoted (which usually starts a flood of downvoting).

We can also have over 10 likes, and you become a mod. And having over 50 likes makes you the lead mod...

The thing is with upvotes and downvotes it just turns into a pissing contest and the good posts get lost in the shuffle because of the popularity of posters rather than what is being posted.

I rarely even post on reddit
I mostly lurk there. No I haven't been downvoted in a while
That's not why I don't like it. It hurts discussion. After enough downvotes a comment is hidden. People can abuse this

Don't some places have votes, but the votes do nothing? Like it just displays the net vote and the posts still show in chronological order.

With that said, no. I don't know how it'd even be useful.

I think you can set some sites to order the post by votes or chronological. So, maybe you're thinking of that...

You are painfully misguided on the sort of behavior that downvoting attracts.

If GameFAQS did make it so downvotes did this then yeah it'd be stupid. If anything it'd be fine if downvoting hid it from just the person who downvoted the topic or post and not make it hidden to everyone.

this was part of my suggestions on the feature, but they instead came up with a feature that acted as a safe space for trolls, ok?
