Yeah that kind of thing is unnacceptable, there's nothing to disagree with, people downvoting a comment like that to oblivion are simply upset fanboys. This thread seems primarily centered around topics that aren't like this though, I don't see a point in changing the voting system though. Without votes you may as well just create a thread for every piece of news and remove comments from the news articles completely, without voting it just turns into a thread, so what's the point. :P |
Its unacceptable, but we're not gonna do a single thing about it. Then... its 100% acceptable? :P
If there is a comment on a news article that is just "This is great" then that comment is pretty pointless and I see no issue with that boring comment being buried. I might be a bit harsh there, but I see no issue with it. If there are evil trolls out hunting in the dark, then yeah. It can get annoying, I guess. But I still want everyone to be able to express their opinion, even if I don't agree with it.
@OP, if you remove the downvote, you'll still bury comments by raising certain ones above the rest. I don't think there will be much difference, but I'm willing to give it a try. Mods seem to be happy with the current system though and I support that.
Liking posts in threads is something that I'd like to see though, kinda like facebook.
