Last Lost the Day Badge

[Mike E 11,722]

I thrive on down votes, especially when I post solid advice backed by legit sources.  I’d love to lose the day with most down votes as it beats indifference.  Of course I can imagine most would prefer to being able to opt in to this feature.

I believe we could have a downvote button, but as you can imagine, the abuse that would entail with that leads Ewok to choose against it.

There was a downvote button years ago, but that protocol was abandoned and never revisited, which says something about it.

I think other types of reactions could be funny though. I'm curious how big the options list is.

We do have a down vote button. The confused and sad reactions lower the reputation. At least in some cases.

I would love to see an eyeroll button

Not sure why the sad would, strange. If someone posts a genuinely sad story, it seems weird to react to it with a "like."

A nice hug vote one would be nice. 

 

Mike you're probably the only member who likes to get down votes. He had it years ago and it was abused, that is why it is gone.

Yep, I'm sure a downvote button creates a "bandwagon effect" where as soon as one person downvotes, others jump on board. Thus probably for the better that it was removed. I view a downvote button similar to the "eating popcorn" emoji. While on the surface it is harmless, it can easily lead to people getting out of hand once it is there.

Getting down voted when I accurately explain a point of immigration law is a badge of honor.
