The forums had 'gone to shit' before, often due to 'thread-shitting', angry hostile responses, and shouting matches; which is probably why a number of regular contributors stopped posting. Perhaps one of the reasons why the up/down voting was introduced.

Probably because living in Kunming has become in some (definitely not all!) ways easier. And swapping basic stuff like how to get what isn't the thing anymore. Now it's entertainment, of a sort.

>> Perhaps one of the reasons why the up/down voting was introduced.

On page 33, JanJal had 2 posts that got 9 downvotes. What is it about JanJal's posts on Page 33 that anyone would find so offensive exactly that deserve 9 downvotes?

The downvoting itself can become a subtle tool to express hostility. Maybe there is some envy of certain people stealing the thunder from others?

Also, since you've taken it upon yourself to take the moral high ground, who are the "good guys" and the "bad guys" on this forum?

You and Ishmael are the good guys? You both act like you own the joint. You have 10,000 posts because you are genuinely trying to be helpful? Or is it also possibly because this then entitles you to have clout and control the forum?

I dont know why would anyone care about being downvoted? Theres a saying when u start to have enemies u are becoming successful/influential. Just dont give a f about it dolphin, do u care what mr joe in kunming thinks of u, seriously.

Good comment anyway, they think they have some mandate, while looking like dorks presenting it. Cloudie flippin out 150 messages a week nowadays, to keep up this illusion.

Down voting hides the post and becomes annoying when you have many of them.

Watch Twilight Zone "Eye of the Beholder".

Haha, it's downvote madness here!
