Schaef has said that if he could implement the +1 without the -1, he would, but that option isn't available. I like the -1, but only use it when I think a post is insulting or inappropriate, and like SS, if I feel strongly enough, I will post about it as well.
I voted to disagree with your points of view without posting as such (though I am now required to because you aren't accepting disagreement like a man). It's not the end of the world to be -1'd. It really doesn't matter at all actually.
If I wanted to present my opinion, I would. I now want to present it because I'm tired of seeing you whine like a girl about people disagreeing with you. You're acting as if being -1'd is stopping you from living your life productively or something. That's ridiculous. People -1 in order to express disagreement without having to post becuase they either don't want to express their personal view or their view is already being expressed. If you can't accept being criticized anonymously via a system that is designed to encourage users to anonymously disagree with posts in order to promote less spam, perhaps you should go to the Mister Roger's Neighborhood forum. I hear they also give out free candy.
If I wanted to present my opinion, I would. I now want to present it because I'm tired of seeing you whine like a girl about people disagreeing with you. I'm not the one that's whining. At least I have the courtesy to post my thoughts and opinions rather than hiding behind an anonymous number.You're acting as if being -1'd is stopping you from living your life productively or something.No, I don't think I am...That's ridiculous. People -1 in order to express disagreement without having to post becuase they either don't want to express their personal view or their view is already being expressed.Voting a post down is expressing your opinion, so obviously you do want to express it. All I'm asking is that you explain yourself. As for it already being expressed, that's why I suggested earlier that you +1 the person you agree with rather than -1 the person you disagree with.If you can't accept being criticized anonymously via a system that is designed to encourage users to anonymously disagree with posts in order to promote less spam, perhaps you should go to the Mister Roger's Neighborhood forum. I hear they also give out free candy.I can accept criticism, I just think people should respect each other and treat each other decently enough to actually express specifics rather than simply utilizing an inefficient and unhelpfully flawed system. As for your recommendation to visit Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, I'll just assume you are frustrated for some reason and didn't mean to post spam.
No need to pull the respect card out. That's a line Christians use when they feel disrespected. Check back with me whenever we are discussing something you disagree with, rather than something I disagree with.Check my New Card Ideas thread. I disagree with people that think I should rewrite it shorter.Why is it necessary to post this thread? The summary of the first post is essentially: Why do I get -1'd? This is a stupid system. *stuff about Jesus since this is a Christian forum* How is that beneficial? I don't care if you "have the courtesy to post your thoughts and opinions". If your thoughts and opinions are unneeded, then this topic is a waste of time. This is at least the second or third thread about this issue, not even counting various threads that get derailed with complaints about getting minused. Therefore, I view this topic as a waste of time because it is redundant. Because of that, I simply minused it rather than supporting it with a post. You then again complained about being targeted, so I explained myself so that you would understand, and you proceded to call me selfishAnd how was I supposed to know that these were the reasons you disagreed when all I got was a -1? I can't read people's minds, I don't know what they think unless they say/type it. The only thing I called selfish was that you assumed nobody cared about pluses and minuses just because you don't."If you don't think being minused matters, why is this thread here?When did I say I thought it didn't matter?I am expressing my opinion that this thread is unnecessary with a minus rtaher than apost because it reduces forum clutter. I fail to see how that is bad at all and your arguments have all been so centered on being a victim that I am completely unconvinced so far.I don't consider logical reasons to be "clutter" that should be avoided. Discussions cannot be carried out if arguments/opinions aren't posted to give the other side something to answer.
whoever minused my fish sandwich...i am srsly offended.
I don't know how long this has been an option, but I just noticed it recently. Is there a reason it's there/allowed?Redemption is a Christian card game and I don't believe these votes contribute to the atmosphere of building each other up that we as Christians are supposed to uphold. Reading threads across the forum, I see many posts that simply have a negative vote score and nothing else. Personally, I am very discouraged by this. It seems people have taken to simply "-1'ing" a post rather than replying to it with their reasoning as to why they disagree with something that was said in that post. I don't know about you, but I don't feel very built up when I see one of my posts with -4 but nothing said in reply to it. This voting gives the opportunity for people to vote negative if they simply disagree with, or perhaps if they just don't like, what was said rather than requiring them to post reasoning for their alternative opinion and have it be open for return criticism. This, to me, doesn't seem like a good policy. If you disagree, please explain why and what I'm missing. I would be happy to hear your side of things.EDIT: I see nothing wrong with being able to +1 a post (especially since it's less spammy than " I agree" replies), I am only concerned about the -1 option.
