Salvick 248 Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) Since they removed the downvote reaction is that I'm opening this topic. But no, this is not to complain about it, this is to stand in favor of this besides how much I dislike this change, lol..."dislike"...the irony... so here we go. The thing is that if anyone around these forums dared to post some negative thoughts about the game, any critics, constructive or destructive ones, unpopular opinions, etc. they used to be discredited by a troop of downvoters that seems to be always there if we take into account that on a thousands registered members forums, with hundreds of active people reading, a couple of active players sticking around and only a bunch that are consistently posting and lurking around it is not hard to tell where that dozen of downvotes could come from if there isn't that much people actively posting here besides them. Now the people concerned about LO trying to "remove negativity", it might looks like that, sure, but; Wasn't this what they've been doing already for a while? You can tell there aren't as many negative topics now as these forums used to have, and we've even seen a couple few complaining about their topics removed too. But the thing is that if any of you identifies yourself with these who complain, either because you support their personality or character or because there are some objective views brought up by them, or you simply are one of these who complain indeed, then now you can complain freely without getting intimidated by the negativity of a storm of downvotes in your thread or posts. Some times some people likes to complain, and as much as a company or its staff could encourage their members to take part on any discussion to let them bring their opinions, the pressure that other members of a community could put into any person trying to express their individual opinions makes a place like this useless if they will be chased down and punished in front of everyone for doing so. Now you can create your threads on any topic you feel it worth and no one will ever stop you by brainlessly and anonymously disliking your post but instead they'll have to show up and troll your thread with their memes, off-topic chattery between said trolls or objectively stand their opinion and positive or negative interactions will happen transparently. It is like this thread, look what I did... And where's your dislike button now b**ch? You can thank me clicking that thanks button, thanks.

Alani 475 Posted September 17, 2020 No one stopped anyone from creating dumb threads with their opinions thrown in through the whole rant. People take issue mostly because if you remove the downvote, you might as well remove the upvote too. Makes no sense to have one and not the other. Instead it just looks like LO trying to be G1 and remove any sight of negativitiy from the forums. This isn't the first time this forum has had the negative button removed, and I'm sure it wont be the last. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PoshDoll 93 Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) forums are places where arguments, opinions, ideas or media related to whatever the forum is about are shared. arguments are there so that you can either agree or disagree until an ideal way, path or solution is found. an argument without any disagreement is not an argument but a statement. censoring the negative side of an argument has always meant that things aren't going well. the fact that LO has disabled downvoting means the end is officially nigh. time to stop investing ladies and gentlemen.

Salvick 248 Posted September 18, 2020 Is cool, I made this post as cringy as I could while trying to still keep it objective. Since we have less reactions to add to any posts is that I wanted to see some reactions to this here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You wont get that. You will get people going 'no your opinion is stupid and you should stop spouting stupid crap' Thus creating more toxicity. Removing negative reaction is literally just a piss poor attempt to make the forums appear less salty and toxic. Instead its just going to make it more toxic. Again. If you were even somewhat aware of what the forums were like 3 years ago, you would probably rather have negative reactions than having 900 people quoting you to tell you 'haha you're a fucking idiot' 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fortune Runner 796 Posted September 19, 2020 I could simply say hello and a few people who would stalk my posts would down vote it and any other post I've ever made.

Gro 104 Posted September 19, 2020 Typical leftie way of thinking: if we ignore it, maybe it will go away. You won't reduce negativity if you take away dislikes, you'll make it go extreme, morons. You will now gotta do with tons of "toxic" messages like this one and silence all the bad bullying baddies manually. But that's something to be expected of a company supporting far-left extremists. Feel free to delete my opinion, like you always do. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GhosT 1301 Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) You wanna know why it's been removed? It's not actually "removing negativity". It's forcing people to actually say something instead of flat out anonymously downvoting and running away like a chicken. And it actually worked on you.
