If I see a post I like because it's helpful, a good deal, funny or for any other reason, I'll throw it a .
It's always been a bit odd that a select group of members tend to downvote random questions and other threads outside of Hot Deals for no apparent reason.
We've had discussions on removing downvoting for non-deal forums since it discourages people from creating threads, and it seems likely that we'll be making that change soon.
This … all this
I also throw out an upvote when people are POLITE and come back and say THANK YOU
Upvotes cost nothing … and go a long way in making RFD a better community IMO
I rarely give out any downvotes … just don’t see the benefit
But ya sometimes folks ask really dumb questions
The kind NO ONE on the Internet can answer
The ones where everyone’s reply starts
Sorry … no one can answer that but you !
Or …
What did they say When You Called / Spoke to them about your situation ?

Lol it might look that way … or it’s just a streak of bad luck
Roll of the dice
Could be the website was very busy at that time …
Friday Lunch Hour … makes sense
And lots of folks reading, commenting etc
So not necessarily just one person did all 5 down votes
Although I too would prob think that if I looked at the list as you have
(Me I mostly ignore downvotes … instead I focus on the positives in life )
BTW … looks like the 6th (first one at 12:52 PM) was actually an upvote

The worst part is that who gave the downvotes is hidden so they can hide behind anonymity.
But those who give upvotes are correctly identified.

I didn’t know it can show notifications for downvotes too .. i thought it was just upvotes - interesting
Also Tom, can you clarify if we're supposed to be receiving downvote notifications? I've never received any.
