I’m starting to realize that the current implementation of only allowing for upvotes is not perfect. Looking at the article about Doug Bowser’s retirement, for instance, it is filled with some of the most outlandish comments I’ve seen on this site, all with a green number accompanying them.

I personally don’t want to see downvotes come back…maybe instead of giving a big green “+X” next to every comment, it just be a neutral, grey colored “+X”? Kinda how it looks on Reddit.

I just checked out those comments, “Switch 2 sales are declining and will continue to drop” or “Nintendo is facing a Xbox One style backlash”

Incredibly stupid, bold claims based on absolutely nothing. Proof that people live in bubbles and think their personal preferences are shared by all.

Oh, how can we possibly live with some stupid comments not getting hidden. I hate the forums because nothing gets hidden. It's like we should just ignore the bad stuff or rebut it.

Anyway, I've been a vocal opponent of the downvote system, but it turns out that recently there've been few articles I've felt the need to comment about, because I hadn't even noticed the downvote system is gone.
