Default downward thumb logo

How many wish there was a downward thumb not just an upward one on here? A small amount of people can Take over a forum and get away with it. A very large number quit reading and are not heard and don’t want to be jumped on if they post. They are more quiet, non antagonistic, peaceful. We don’t hear them.

On many forums, loudmouths reign and the forum is destroyed. It doesn’t matter how old they as age doesn’t improve them. Is there an answer as many now say they no longer log in.

Wouldn't be worth the bother...as it would never be used.

That was easy.
Relax , not directed at any post, just testing if the suggestion worked.

when I see a post by someone that I usually don't agree with because we have opposite viewpoints, or I consider them to be a
"cyber bully"...I just move on

I prefer only offering positive thanks and think mindless downvoting promotes dissension and grudges. If you disagree with someone's comment, post your own opinion and explanation.

And that's the way it should be...not to personally attack someone for their opinion.
