Currently downvotes are enabled on a trial basis, this was done by me to see if they can be enabled to prevent spam from rising to the top of communities, along with the fact that is another form of interaction/feedback.

However I've gotten some pushback for this and so I'd like to see the general consensus of this decision. Please put any comments/concerns in this thread, and please vote here: (Link gone poll is done)

the results of this poll and the comments will determine if we keep or remove downvotes again

I'm obviously not going to make your argument for you.

Having it one sided clearly doesn't defeat the purpose of votes. When you went to the ballot box do you upvote your chosen candidate and also downvote your least favourite?

Not having downvotes is a simple statement: "If you do not like this thing, we don't care". Report the spam and block the creators you don't like, simples.

So you use my logic for upvotes, which you clearly didn't, and maybe you'll see why it's downvotes that are removed and not upvotes.

See, if downvotes were active you might have just gainsayed and moved on and we wouldn't have had this interaction. Neat huh?
