My thoughts on downvotes

Revision en4, by Lyde, 2020-05-14 15:26:17

(Sorry guys for problems about the first blog, I hope it won't happen this time)

Hi guys!

Today I will be talking about downvotes.

And anyone thinks that I write this blog is because of my comments, then you are correct!

But today we won't talk about my comments. I don't care about my comment that much. Downvotes are ok.

cry inside...

So why there are downvotes?

People downvote a comment or blog mostly because of bad content.

Some of them downvote comments or blogs just because of THEY LIKE IT.

And in my opinion, when a comment (or blog) has a bunch of downvotes, people will start a movement, and start downvoting the comments, either they are good or bad.

My opinion about downvotes

I think that downvotes are ok. If you think that the comment is bad, downvote it. Even my comment. That's fine.

But, if you downvote (or even upvote) a comment based on the movement, you should stop.

Because you just vote the vote that they don't deserve.

And also, if you downvote someone if they already had like, 5 downvotes, then everyone would think that comment/blog suck.

For some comment posters, It would make them unhappy. And even worse, they would be heartbroken and alone.

(I said too much.)

Furthermore, it will affect the poster's contribution, and if they have a negative contribution, they might be hated, or even alone.

So, vote properly. See the whole blog/comment, and then decide to vote.

Before I stop this blog, I want to show you a Codeforces issue.

A REALLY, REALLY BAD ISSUE.

This only happens when you have a negative comment.

If you downvote a comment which has zero votes, it would be showed -1. Then, reload the website.

It will be immediately reset to 0.

And even worse, After about 10-15 minutes, it would be like -6 or -7.

AND, if you upvote a comment which has 6 downvotes, a few moments later, it will be 0.

You can prove this issue by seeing ANY comment. YOU MAY NOT FIND A COMMENT WHICH HAS -1 -> -5 ON VOTES.

This may cause the movement and even worse, as I mentioned above.

So I hope the Headquarters will fix this issue soon so that we can use Codeforces comments more properly.

All done!

I hope you enjoyed this blog!

And once again, if you upvote or downvote something, think back and see all of that comment/blog and then decide.

If you vote based on the movement, please stop. Vote properly.

Thank you for reading!

Any accepted upvote or downvote, and comments are welcome!

And finally, this blog will have a lot of downvotes for sure. I know it because I might hurt someone or people will start a movement to downvote my blog. That's ok, I don't care.

Love you all!!!

BYE!!!
