Something like this is an option.  A smaller version of this is available as an option and does not carry a +1/-1 option.  I'm a little hesitant to try that at this point though as that could ultimately yield a similar result; posters will use that for the wrong reasons like they did the -1.

First, welcome aboard.  Were you able to get the confirmation email quickly?  I ask as I know some people have had issues getting one.

 

Second, we actually have a system like this in place.  If you look below your username below your post above, you'll see Initiation.  That title will increase as your post frequency does.  (And I think when you get to the top ranking, you're able to customize what your title is.)  That's one of the things that was set up back in 2003 that we've carried over as we've made changes/upgrades over the years.

No email took long to get. I was using Yahoo mail never got a email but when I switch to my outlook one I use for work i got the email.

 

Oh ok never noticed it. But maybe you should show that progress instead of the voting system. I have noticed some people make some really good post but got downvote because it was a negative toward management. Also noticed only popular posters got a like on their post more times then others.

 

Just some outside prospective for you.

This is what I suggested. I think it would allow us to provide some "lazy feedback". When I have used the current system, it has been to up-vote and annul the down-votes because I find that whole thing silly.

What about just adding a name beside the down vote. Then at least it gives some accountability... 

Similar to LinkedIn and FB that show you who else "feels" a certain way. That would provide some accountability.

 

Twitter has counts on retweets, maybe counting "quoting" of post would provide the value intended by the current +/-

It is an option and I've had it enabled for me to see for more than a year now to evaluate if it was just a few people who were down voting based on the poster and not the content.  That's exactly what happened which is why I scrapped it.  If we were to re-enable it now with the votes being public, I'd have to do a whole lot more moderating; if you think the complaints about down voting was bad before, I suspect it would be way worse with a name beside it.

As I've said at least a dozen times.... I don't care about votes.   You constantly complained about the downvotes, but I'm pretty sure that both you and Metallica downvoted me regularly.  Funny how I'd get two downvotes whenever I argued with either of you.  Strange how that whole thing works. 

 

As I've also said a number of other times.... I have better things to do with my time then to get into a fight with you over this (or anything else).  Why you'd even try to start one now over posts... I don't know... relax, smoke a dube, whatever... I made a joke, no need to come back attacking me about it. 

 

But I'll be the bigger person here and just walk away.  Welcome to my ignore list. 

 

🤣🤣:bonk:

How is that any different? 

i was thinking that with the heart but the downvote takes "something away" (green "score") as a dislike button hopefully doesn't

Whatever,

 

If you think i post garbage... put me on ignore.

 

No need to make personal attacks at people.

 

I didnt attack you so i dont know why you feel the need to make things personal.

 

Of course, when someone resorts to personal attacks as you and others here have done it shows that you are unable to debate the actual issues on an intellectual level, and that is why you resort to such childishness.  

 

People complain about lazy responses... there is no lazier a response than to ignore substance and start name calling.

More self righteous passive aggressive jargon from the "professional blogger". Get a life tool.

More personal attacks, cause you still dont have an intelligent response.

Douche bag. See now. The issue with internet dochery is that there is a whole generation of douches that have never been punched in the face for being themselves socially. Back in the day. Face to face. You learned valuable lessons. And, clearly, you have missed out on many in your douchey existence.
