If I remember there used to be a downvote option that (knowing this..."community") got removed due to "toxicity." I'd like to reintroduce this concept, or, if I remember incorrectly, introduce this concept because no cap, some people deserve the harsh reality of communal backlash and/or hated concept. I have made my fair share of downvote worthy ideas but I see...just...so many comments that need a downvote. 0 upvotes just, it just does not sell the whole "we hate your idea" concept. Toxic as the..."community" might think it is, the reality is that there is no "anti-toxic" concept in real life and the..."community" can't actually halt it.
I think it's honestly a necessary option and while y'all might not like it, some of you know what I'm talking about and I really think it's time that the..."community" accepts that. Some people's thoughts are well...kinda not worth 0 upvotes.

It was removed due to abuse and we have no plans to reintroduce it at this time, things can change in the future but for right now at least, it won't be returning.
Out of sheer curiosity, how does one, abuse, downvoting
I saw it happen.
Pretty much any post that had an opinion got swamped with them. “Nerf NOED”- 114 downvotes. “Keys are too strong” - 107 downvotes. “Fix the bugs” - 2 downvotes (unbelievable, right!?)
Also, it would follow certain people. “I wish things were less toxic” posted by CosmicTropicalFruit - 8204 downvotes.
Some people had their comments spammed with literally thousands of downvotes overnight just because a few users didn't like them and set up bots to downvote every comment they made.
If you see a thread or comment you don't like, just move on. It's better.
