Yeshu: Anybody find it strange how some people get universally down voted on the forum for seemingly no reason?
I mean, sure, you get your usual a$$hole comment from time to time but it's always the same people and most of the time they don't say anything controversial or aggressive. It's like someone has a vendetta on these few specific people.
MaceyNeil: If people are pissed off with what your saying, but are not clearly linked to a valid rebuttal of your key points; chances are your doing something right.
There are usually three types of downvoting "routines":
1. The kind of deserved downvoting by being an utter idiot/rude/personal attacks/excessive swearing/borderline genocidal etc.
2. The kind of non-deserved downvoting because you say/write something people gets (easily) offended by.
3. The kind of brainless war-like downvoting just because someone doesn't like you, and use every opportunity they can to downvote every post they come across.
And then we can discuss all we want whether or not someone are using a (spam)bot or not, or perhaps aggravating others to join their cause just because of a rumour.... This is sadly the new "norm", no matter where you venture. As I wrote in an another thread; the more you stick your head out the more of an enticing target you become. XD
The day GOG finally get their head out of the sand and remove the current rep system is going to be a brand new era!
