RE: Total Whale Abuse: A Form Of Censorshp by RandomWhale
In my view this shouldn't be a platform where everybody holds hands together and sings Kumbaya.
So......we go for pitchforks????
Upvotes Vs Downvotes result in a zero-sum game. Negative reinforcement doesn't work like positive reinforcement. Downvoting posts that doesn't break rules is a violation of NAP. It's also negative reinforcement and doesn't add any value to the platform.
If it didn't add any value to the platform do you think @dan and @ned would have included it? Make a suggestion to the witnesses to support removing the downvote button all together.
From the FAQ:
Maybe more people should at least read the FAQ before actually agreeing to use the website. People start playing games without reading the rules of the games and then are surprised that they don't like some rules while playing them.
If you were shot by a lone gunman it doesn't mean you did something wrong. Anybody who posses the gun can shoot anybody or anything according to the person who sell it. Ability doesn't mean it's a Right. If we walk this path we could simply be flagging each other in a flagging war which would be extremely counter productive.
A gun is designed to be able to shoot and kill. But only in certain circumstances the firing of a gun is justified.
