It doesn't help that if you're a supporter on VGC, you get twice the upvote/downvote power (that and making ghost alt accounts to downvote/upvote is a thing). 

Mods should just get rid of downvotes, because all they are used for is hiding other people's posts, because they don't want them to be seen. Seeing my post about the game awards part of Bobby mentioning got me thinking that a number of folks on this site must be pretty mentally fucked up, to want to censor me for wanting shit done about a CEO or a GOTY swards show, to stop coddling bullshitters who are running a show, where one of their employees offed themselves. 

Like if some users on this site don't give a shit that's fine, you do you, but if you're gonna censor me in defence of some bs CEO or dude running a GOTY show, who cannot grow a spine, then I'd like to exchange fist to face with that person doing the downvoting, because that ain't okay.

Approved! But it sadly isn't up to the Mod team, sorry

I do hate downvotes though, I even question if upvotes are hurting the site as it could be argued they discourage posting but on downvotes specifically, they were originally mostly for spambots to hide them until a Mod dealt with the comment, now we have next to no spambots so that's irrelevant.

It seems to me now that downvotes are used (mostly) for console warring, folk downvoting fanbases for being on the other side, folk downvoting users simply cause they dislike them, regardless of the content of their post, I hate that supporters have extra voting power because it isn't a true representation of things and I think we'll get to a point where it discourages posting entirely.

Idk if Talon is still around though Tbh...

and we know people with 2 jobs can spend that extra cash on supporter
