Down vote's Existence

hi,

did yiiframework forum had an downvote option? I have joined this community in previous year and i don’t remember having a downvote option. I was going through some old posts and saw a post with -7 votes. So why was this option removed?

It is anti-productive and de-motivating - I really like that the Yii forum has it disabled.

And I truly hate that it is not disabled on Gamedev.net.

If people disagree, they simply don’t press the upvote button.

I agree. Almost nothing to add.

No single post should be considered bad or worthless, except for the spams and the hatred words that should be reported and be removed.

When you think differently, you can just express your opinion as a reply. That’s more productive.
