RE: The Normalization of downvotes | Read this post, then downvote it
Let's start with a !BEER
It really is a simple fix in my mind, all STEEM and its developers need to do is put a check box.
example:
Problem solved.
I know it will never be fixed in that manner, so we will always have people throwing pebbles and stones at other people. My input anyways to the issue, and why I do not believe in normalizing bad behavior, or believe people need to get use to having bullshit down votes they can do nothing about it when the solution is so simple.
Okay I understand your position. You would like to have a set group of controlled reasons to downvote, which you agree on.
What will you do when someone mischecks the box? lol, you are just pushing the problem one more step down the road.
I never said a set reason, the ones they have cover it all. They can add a check box with other and let people leave what ever comment they want. The entire point is that if you are man woman or childish enough to down vote leave a reason.
So you do not understand my position at all or you have read more into my plain talk comments than are there.
My opinions:
STEEM has the reasons right there in the reasons to down vote pop up box. Make people pick one or even a no reason box, so long as a comment is entered under that accounts name so that other can decide if it was as appropriate downvote.
I'm not opposed to checking the box, I just don't think you can trust people to fill it out honestly or anything... so it just adds an extra step.
I don't waste my time feeling outraged by others' behavior.
Most things are not right and wrong or good and bad... rather a difference in perspective.
I get called a fence sitter by those who are critical, I understand why. I just think it is practical to not let things I can't control bother me.
I can't control how other people view my behavior and others. I can't control assholes who use their stake to make others sad/mad/obey
I can control my response.
It is unreasonable of me to expect that of others though
