The following post is a reblog from kudzuhaiku, on down votes. · 3:10pm Sep 6th, 2014
The voting system needs an overhaul.
Case in point: Example. Within seconds of posting, this had four downvotes. SECONDS. Which is a clear indicator that people aren't even reading, just downvoting. I've been watching for a while now. One story hit almost twenty downvotes in less than a minute after being posted to the new stories queue. It had Flash Sentry. There was no way that people had read the whole story in less than a minute.
And something really needs to be done about this deplorable situation we find ourselves in. We need a way to remove anonymity with upvoting / downvoting so we can see what is going on. The voting system is not a reliable indicator if a story is good or not. It just just a way to crap on people or be petty as it currently functions. If it was revealed who was doing the meaningless downvoting, a bet a lot of it would disappear, or at least a lot of people would be called on their bullshit.
So... if this kind of stuff bothers you, reblog this if you can. Spread the word around. Maybe if we can get enough people vocal enough about the issue, we can get some sort of change. But do so nicely. We don't need a shitstorm or a drama bomb. Just a little change for the better.
Also, what is up with the pornographic advertisements I keep getting on this site when I am browsing on my tablet? I don't want to find hot asian teens. I want a mature fire breathing whore, not some little know-nothing skank.
((Spread this around if you can and shit.))
