Pinpin aint EZ....when you're high

I'm sure this was answered/discussed when the overhaul happened, and I missed it. Did founder give a reason for removing the thumbs up/down icons in discussions?

I liked it.

I liked it too. It was a lot easier to just thumbs up a comment instead of posting another one that says the same thing.

People were just thumbs downing people they didn't like, regardless of the content. I miss the ability to simply thumbs up an opinion or idea which I would echo, but passive-aggresive trolls and bitches misused and abused the feature and caused everyone to lose access. Ruining it for everyone.

Thank you gentlemen.

I think it reduces the general level of acrimony. While itโ€™s validating to see a bunch of folks upvoting your post, the downvotes seem to inflame and prolong conflicts. Being able to mute people also helps reduce conflict.

25 was the biggest bitch about abusing the function, creating alts to spam his detractors, and the main reason it was taken away

I like it just as an easy way to affirm without adding an otherwise empty post. I donโ€™t think I downvoted more than a couple times and it was usually to agree with a negative post rather than downvote the author. Iโ€™m assuming itโ€™s one of the features that will come back when Founder gets around to it.
