[MODPOST] Update to the sub-reddit policy on downvotes (self.reddevils)

spoofexKing Cantona が 投稿 - announcement

Hi all,

After much deliberation between the mod team and the community at large, we have taken steps to combat downvoting and brigading within the sub.

As such, voting is no longer possible without being subscribed to the sub, and the downvote button has been removed.

That second part is a temporary experiment, and one we'll look to review in a couple of weeks to see how people feel about it.

Finally, and most importantly, we NEED to reiterate that the upvote button is there as well. A lot of people will read, comment and post, but never actually upvote comments and posts.

To help promote content (whether it's an opinion you agree with or not), click the upvote button to keep things in the positive. Also, don't forget to check /new or to filter some of the larger posts by newest to see the new comments/posts in their infancy and help boost them!

Well, let us know how you think and we'll get in touch with a vote soon to see if people want to keep this as it is.

Many thanks; Your (grumpy and evil) moderation team!

what. the. fuck.

[–]CuriousBot42 19ポイント20ポイント  (0子コメント)

Hell no.

Senseless move. Make it invisible for non subscribers. Not the subscribers. Either way, it doesn't matter. If someone wants to downvote, they'll downvote anyway.

Looks like I'm only using this sub on mobile from now on

[–]yuma712Shaw -4ポイント-3ポイント  (1子コメント)

You're probably one of them that uses downvote because you didn't agree with someone.

you got a key logger on me?

[–]Launch_a_poo 15ポイント16ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't like this, it was fine the way it was and it was only a minority complaining

[–]googly__mooglySmalling 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Downvoting is necessary. This is a terrible decision.

[–]EpicRumourTime 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

How do you subscribe? Does it cost money?

What?

[–]MasterFarmerJennyAnthony Tightlips 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Can upvote/downvote by pressing A/Z with RES.

[–]ddgsancPogba 3ポイント4ポイント  (3子コメント)

Mobile users prob

[–]IwanJones10Ander Herrera 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

Or people pressing Z

[–]cmf_ansValencia 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well that just defeated the whole point of this.

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

Huh, didn't know you could do that

[–]ducedo 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

You can disable subreddit style in preferences or use .compact

[–]spoofexKing Cantona[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Mobile users aren't affected by CSS updates, so nothing changes there.

Also RES users still have the ability to bypass all of this. There is a way to stop that being possible, but you can royally shag a subreddit CSS doing it.

[–]yuma712Shaw -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

Can still downvote using 3rd party apps.

[–]WaaaltyIbrahimovic 7ポイント8ポイント  (1子コメント)

Just a tip because this new change is idiotic, click the profiles and down vote the post there.

[–]CalimariaeSolskjaer 1ポイント2ポイント  (3子コメント)

Didn't we try this a few years ago without much success?

[–]sprunthJones 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think we tried hiding comment scores for ~45 minutes at some point in the past.

[–]spoofexKing Cantona[S,M] -9ポイント-8ポイント  (1子コメント)

Not on here. It's the first time we've done this as far as I can recall.

[–]CalimariaeSolskjaer 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm 95% sure it isn't. We removed downvoting for a while and it was shit.

No idea how long ago it was. I've been here forever.

[–]scholeszzSchweinsteiger 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

ITT: Downvotes

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

You can still downvote on mobile

[–]jakedobsonFumar Mata 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Shouldn't have bothered removing the downvote button, you can still downvote on mobile and by pressing Z anyway

[–]An0therkShaw -12ポイント-11ポイント  (2子コメント)

Is there a way to make it that someone can only be allowed to downvote if they comment in that specific thread? Atleast that would encourage people to give a reason

[–]spoofexKing Cantona[S,M] -15ポイント-14ポイント  (0子コメント)

No. We can't control it to that level. To be honest, we're not supposed to remove the downvote button at all, but reddit admins have turned a blind eye at the small-mid level subs doing it, particularly sports ones.

I've toyed with the possibility of also disabling certain res functions too, but decided against it when I did the CSS updates as that would be setting a pretty bad precedent (also, it can break a lot of shit if you start messing with RES).

[–]TheReplacerUnited We Stand -3ポイント-2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I acutely hated the downvote button. But it dose serve a purposes.

But lets see how it goes.

[–]WuuutWuuutHerrera -5ポイント-4ポイント  (1子コメント)

I like turtles

[–]Pro4TLZZ#WelcomeMourinho -4ポイント-3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Good. A lot of people like myself get down voted because our opinions are not with the majority
