Can we get a like button here?

someone downvoted your urinary meatus.

Lots of downvotes it seems. Oh well let them have that pleasure before they cry themselves to sleep over their failed marriage and pointless existence.

Can mods see the names of the likes/dislikes? Surely they can. If not that would be a good start.

not sure its worth policing it, if someone is going to follow someone around downvoting everything, i think life has already punished them enough

This is true. I have a theory on Jan's "fan".

It’s full-on obsession at this point. That’s the disquieting part.
Whatever, I feel a little more free to be genuine.

There’s one member going around shaming everyone who has a criticism of a post, or now in the Cafe, as a terrible person. The self-righteousness of that, man.

Everyone gets a medal for showing up, we’re all ok.

I'm sure that resonates with half of us hence why it was a safe bet.

I wouldn't even blink at it TBH. How shallow does ones life have to be to get enjoyment from that?! In fact the more downvotes you get shows how miserable they continue to be. I would treat it as a points system if I were you, ie. how much does their life suck? Today, quite a lot seemingly.

It’s not interesting enough to me to even try and picture it really.

The sort of vapid happy talk, “Don’t you listen to the haters! “Don’t let anybody make you feel bad for... “Populate your life with people who see your best,” as a response to everything that isn’t cheerleading is momentarily fascinating sociologically (teh millennial generation, judge-y) I guess.
Forever coddling is infantilizing, ultimately.

ah, i think you could be closer than me or mushy.
i put two and two together, due to you, mike and me, seeming to adopt a stalker on the same day.
i still think im right in my case though, as im not sure ive dealt much with circle of 5ths.
not enough to upset him anyway

I definitely think this behaviour is not OK. It is violating the general rules, and should be acted upon by the moderators.

Members should post act in a way that is respectful of other users. Flaming or abusing users in any way will not be tolerated and will result in your post being edited / deleted, and you may be issued with a warning and / or a ban.

well I dont know if Ben can see it but I cannot. I gotta say that somewhere a line has to be drawn, yes targeting is an issue and should be dealt with but asking us to chase down likes and dislikes too might just be asking a bit much

It's for good reason sites doesn't have a "dislike" button.
For this site to implement this is going 10 years backwards. We don't need that extra "fuel" for disgruntled morons.

And why are the like/dislikes anonymized in the first place?

My post regards two different cases. claude has plugins to argue about tho.
I forgot about circle of fifths guy.

As stalking is being mentioned here, and I don't know to whom people are referring so it bothers me, (I'm a relative stranger to KVR) I have to confess I have been giving vurt a bunch of up-votes in the fun threads only and only for fun. I gave mushy a bunch of down-votes here too, not out of spite because I have nothing against him but in jest because of the interplay between him and vurt. Outside of the fun threads I believe I downvoted only one or two posts because they contained direct and unnecessary insults towards another human being. I have up-voted two or three of Jan's posts simply because I agree with them but no further. As things seem to be getting taken seriously now I am going to stop using the buttons entirely. It probably wasn't a good idea to introduce them in the first place.

Thats the thing, downvotes definitely have their purpose and can be useful. It's just sad cases sometimes tend to use them to vent their pointless existence.
