kyle I don’t hate the idea of a two-step verification for a downvote but I don’t want to get rid of it. I know it is hit sometimes accidentally but I can see some valid reasons where it might be used and specifically I want to give people the option to downvote what WE post. It would let us know if we A) crossed a line, B) people were uninterested in what we were saying or worst of all C) we put out bad information. We aren’t perfect guys, we do our best and after doing this for 7 years I’ve accumulated lots of knowledge but we can still be better!
Jonathon I get it. I feel bad for the down votes I did. I guess if I have a problem with what someone says, I would question them, not just push a down thumb. I am a bad speller when I type, instead of a down vote in one of my grad party post, you guys talked about it, I reread my post, and fixed it. Just my thoughts, thanks

Jonathon Long live the down vote!

YooperDog yes. Read my post 6 up from this one. I didnt know it until I was looking at my profile page and it showed I downvoted some post
kyle thanks for reminding me. I looked at my profile and also had down voted 2 posts. I have tried very hard to not do that and it still happened. I think you have a great idea with the 2 step down vote. Have a great 4th.

cdavis after reading your post, I too checked my profile and saw that I’ve downvoted 6 times! I haven’t purposely downloaded anything. Guess I better watch my fat fingers, and apologize to anyone I may have offended.
Jonesy I just looked at mine and I also had 6 down votes, I don’t remember ever down voting anything unless it would have been a team color post and that would have only been in fun. Sorry if I down voted anyone’s post it was not done intentionally.

How is the two step downvote thing looking. I just looked at my profile and saw I downvoted some posts again that I never meant to. Hopefully by now people know it’s a mistake, but we seem to have a lot of new people in our community , I dont want them to think we are snobs

kyle Double check to make sure you are really down voting. Here is what I have observed happening at times; I click to give someone an upvote. Then I note there is no new tally. So, if you upvote it again, it will down vote it. Instead, if you think you upvoted & it did not upvote, scroll your rat over the tally & see if your name is not listed there. If it is, you have upvoted, the system is just not showing it yet, so do not hit it again or it will down vote. If you do not see your name listed in the tally, try hitting it again & see what happens. I know, that sounds like a really crazy explanation.

calldoctoday when I checked in my profile, it showed I downvoted post that I know I did not up or down vote (at least on purpose). I am wondering if it’s when I’m scrolling with my finger on my phone. Maybe hitting the button?

kyle Could be. Don’t get me started on them telephones.

So I was just looking at the settings page on my profile and it showed I down voted 2 post. I don’t know if it was my fat fingers or what, but if It was your post I didn’t mean to do it. I changed them back. Jonathon , can we get rid of the down vote button, or at least make it a 2 step process or something to make it harder to do.
kyle i recently look at my info and it said i had 10 downvotes. I was like, WTH? Tried finding them and changing it but i couldnt figure out how to do it.

I think we all just need to realize that a downvote doesn’t mean someone hates what you said or you, they might have fat fingered it (I’ve done it) they might disagree with what you said or they might just be an ass. We have asses on this sits (his name is Austin) I’m leaving dow votes because I want people to have the ability to tell us they don’t like something we did or said.

Jonathon Check what I was saying earlier, that may be the mistake issue anyways. As for the rest, I suppose it happens, especially if we are not being courteous, etc.

Dang. Just found two posts I had inadvertantly down voted. Worst part is they were great posts. Think I got them corrected.

Hover over the upvote tally after you select the upvote, if you see your name there, you likely upvoted, even if the number did not register yet. Don’t select the upvote a second time or it will cause a downvote. Of course as Jonesy said, if you hit it again a third time or otherwise at a later date, it will then upvote again. I tried to explain that earlier, but apparently did not do a good job of explaining the random discovery.
