    I've lost the ability to downvote just in the last couple weeks. It happened before as well but then came back soon after, so I thought it was just a site glitch that happened to everybody.

      Its either from getting too many dislikes or posting a thread that was reported. I just made a new account and once I got the thumbsdown option i used it to block all the people I believe down vote me. It worked. I hardly ever get down votes. Theres one person that does a lot of downvoting on this site.

        Are you notified when someone reports your threads? Because if so then I've never been reported.

          From what I was told, they used to give you a notification about it, Now they just shadow ban the question instead.

              You dont get a notification. If you're banned you wont even know. Just no body will be able to read any of your comments.

    That means the number of downvotes you get on your own comments exceeds the number of upvotes, or you get reported a lot

    • What? I've gotten a lot more upvotes on my comments than downvotes. I don't troll on here or write stupid, inflammatory comments.

        Message the site owner, tell them this, and see if you can get to the bottom of this. They should be able to fix it.

        Its possible you wrote a thread that was reported. I don't write threads anymore because they get reported. I like having my downvote button because it allows me to block

          You can block anyone without the downvote tho, you just have to go to their profile

      Interesting. I didn't know that's how it works.

      I think I lost my down-vote button about a year ago.

      I guess I annoyed too many people who find any piece of text longer than 140 characters personally offensive.

        Hmm so maybe it’s possible to permanently lose downvote like it is to permanently lose the ability to post stories, which happened to my account. I have temporarily lost downvoting on this account before, but it always came back eventually

          It's not something I worry about, but given what you say, I suspect that my up/down tally is heavily skewed to the down. There seemed to be a period when every comment I made, no matter how innocuous, was down-voted at least once.

          I've never posted a question, so it's not possible it's due to one being reported.

          I understand that the mods don't want to spend more time than absolutely necessary with such trivia on this essentially trivial site, but the process you describe seems pretty crude and open to abuse by trolls and people with petty vendettas. And there are plenty of those hanging around here.

            You'd be surprised how trivial the (now one) mod is, I haven't gotten banned since quitting chat (which he monitors from stealth mode) and blocking him directly. lol

            This site has always been open to abuse by trolls.Most of the anti-troll features were put in because of me and one other troll playing around with the loopholes to prove they exist to the site's creator (that is why he always banned me whenever I was in chat while he was there) it's a very jenky system

    Looks like I do not have a down vote button either. I really do not care though because if I have a problem with someone's post, I call them out instead of just "voting".

    The down vote thing makes little sense cause I have sen people with a negative vote count on a post and the post wasn't even an opinion nor offensive. Maybe something like, "Yes, last week our town got some heavy snow also". And someone down votes it. Like what the hell?

    Yeah, I don't have a dislike button either... Guess I've offended too many liberal extremists too much and I'm against cucks, so no dislike button for me XD

      I do not recall any of your comments (that I have seen) being offensive or against anyone. Most of yours are about wanting to make a lot of money, about your cars, lifestyle... I cannot even imagine you talking crap about someone.

      I mean you and I have personally jabbed at each other about silly things but why the heck would anyone be petty enough to downvote that?

        I don't know man... Jokes and sarcasm aside, I have insulted a few trolls and some liberals, but I've never really hurled abuse at anyone...

        Only times I've been genuinely angry at someone on here was the angry lesbian who kept posting about her straight sister and insulting her and the slob who wanted to find a substitute mommy/ girlfriend, so he can play videogames all day.

        But the best part is when I get downvotes on completely innocent comments. I got 4 dislikes on a topic about cold winter weather a while back. I said how cold it gets in my town in Bulgaria normally and I get 4 downvotes... Hahahaha! Who does that? XD
