There is a sudden rise of troll accounts on this sub, the number of downvotes help identify these trolls.

This has been proposed before and I'm sure it was decided that we wouldn't do it

EDIT - sorry, meant to add before I clicked Save; it's a Reddit wide issue, not just this sub. Personally when I get downvoted I really don't care though, people get way too caught up on them, all it means is that you have a different opinion to anyone else so what's really the issue? Removing the option to downvote wouldn't foster anymore discussion imo.

I wasn't aware of that, I'll have a look at the thread now.

The mods wont agree to it, its been brought up about 50 times and it just gets flat out rejected by them.

Its the nature of the sub I guess, were essentially a fan site so we have the most hardcore fans (ie the people that are willing to give up their day to talk United) the problem with that is your going to get shouted down pretty quickly if you say anything negative about the club or a player.

Prime example is selling players. Nobody is willing to talk about players leaving, a comment about a player staying as a squad player sat on the bench doing nothing will be upvoted but suggesting that the player may not like that and its more likely he will be sold will be downvoted to oblivion. The original RVP sold story was just full of "its bollocks" and it happened an the same thing is happening now with the likes of Bastian and Adnan.

Well the mods need to take a hard look at the subreddit because actually discussion is damn near impossible sometimes. Surely that is what differentiates subreddits from your average internet fan forums.

They never have a particularly good reason other than "you can still downvote by pressing the keyboard shortcut".

I've said for years that downvotes should not be visible in this sub. Legitimate opinions get downvoted en masse and it's pathetic.

I downvote shitposts such as the 200 posts on Pogba, for months, being signed in the next 48 hours. Until people step up their game and think twice before posting, then there's a great need for a downvote button due to the fact that Reddit hides downvoted posts. No other way to get rid of them. Probably an unpopular opinion but that's my view on quality over quantity.

It is an unpopular opinion and it could get downvoted just because it's unpopular. Your opinion adds to the discussion, and people on here downvote those they disagree with. That's the whole point.

How would switching to an upvote-only system be any better? You'd still get popular opinion upvoted no matter how factually incorrect or unfounded it is.

I don't know how much the mods can do about the issue, it's up to people to be more sensible really...

Because often quality posts that shouldn't be downvoted get buried. An upvote system in theory should have similar weightings. Also people's motives for upvoting are often purer than their motives for downvoting.

People piling on to popular opinion is less of an issue / less demoralising / less alienating to new members than people downvoting opinions they disagree with.

An upvote only system does not really work because all you have to do is disable the subreddit style and you can downvote.

Would many people really go to that effort to downvote? It seems to work on other subreddits, /r/askhistorians is a great example as well as /r/listentothis.

[–]geg0714Ronaldo 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

You can also downvote on mobile apps, without any extra effort.

[–]mchughoDe Gea[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

It would still cut the numbers of pointless downvotes, a lot of people reddit exclusively through desktops/laptops.

Agree with down vote being misused in this sub. Please down vote this comment as well ;)

[–]hoochiscrazy_Giggs 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

100% agree. This sub is awful when it comes to everybody just following the common consensus. Individual opinions usually get down voted

And the /u/mufcirclejerk will start appearing!
