fronzelneekburm: The removal of the minus button is a lie!
My invisible rep was up two points after making a bunch of utterly worthless posts in order to properly celebrate the expiry of my 2 month ban, now it's back down two points. How can it go back down if minus buttons are now hidden, hmmmm? HMMMM?
Granted, maybe my posts are simply so bad it made the forum software grow sentient and decreased my rep all by itself, but the more likely scenario is that skript kiddies can still downvoot to their heart's content. Yet another half-assed band aid solution from gog. For shame!
edit: It somehow magically dropped another 2 points since I made this post 25 minutes ago... Presumably just a matter of minutes now until the red tag of shame appears - unless, of course, gog is hiding that now as well.
It is already known and proven that GOG's disabling of the minus button was incomplete. I have seen the 'low rated' tag multiple times since this change so I can only guess that while the physical button is gone, the code it activated can still be activated by a script or something. Still, I haven't seen many low rated posts and all of them seemed to go back to neutral after a while so I would guess there aren't many people left who are determined to downvote.My invisible rep was up two points after making a bunch of utterly worthless posts in order to properly celebrate the expiry of my 2 month ban, now it's back down two points.
