Let’s discuss this:
The intent of upvotes / downvotes is to reward technical posts of value. Instead, moderators here constantly reward the downvoting of technical posts that disagree with fanciful speculation, which are in spirit, posts of poor technical value. They enable the retribution of downvoting, which goes agains their own community guidelines:
With respect to the forum rating system, requesting votes, voting upon request or reciprocating votes - either positive or negative - are not allowed. The moderators may undo any malicious votes, warn users for abuse, or can (temporarily) revoke a user's ability to rate other posts
This is beyond me, look at u/Rodak’s latest downvote.
To me, it shouldn’t be any wonder why this site has lost its most technical posters and isn’t seen as valuable and a must look place anymore.
I suggest if they want to keep it in the forum as conversation, then removing the up/ down votes would be best case scenario.
I’m still waiting to be able to upvote / downvote still.
Not sure why this forum allows peope to upvote content they didn’t originate or bad fan takes, but people with actual motorsports experience are punished for pointing out inaccuracies.
