- edw519 19y agoYes. The most frustrating thing about this site is getting downmodded (repeatedly) without any replies. If you don't agree, say so! Then maybe we can have an intelligent discourse. I have often made comments that are counter to the "groupthink" of the thread. Sometimes because I disagree, sometimes just to play devil's advocate to see where it leads. But always to learn and share. If clicking the down arrow without replying becomes a trend, then no one will want to disagree. Then where will we be?
- wmeredith 19y agoI think this is what has been the most damaging aspect of Reddit's growth. People don't see the up and down arrows as a measure of quality, they see them as a source of agreement.
- cmm324 19y agoI agree 100%.
- cmm324 19y agoI dont even know how to downmode someone. How do I?
- allenbrunson 19y agoyou don't, because you don't have enough karma yet. you have to get to 20 or so before downmodding is possible.
