okay I don’t really know if I like the changes to these forums I tried to post a different message than this but got this error message (imgur link used to be here) and I don’t think it’s letting me post it unless I change it drastically, I tried adding a period at the end but it wasn’t enough to let me post
I understand that blizzard wants to encourage more thought out responses rather than mindless rage but i don’t feel like censorship is the right way to do it, people should be able to post what they want in the way they even if it’s not in depth or intelligent, and not always controlled, maybe encouraging me to elicit an in depth response on the side would be ok but disallowing me to post it at all doesn’t feel fair and like a censorship of freedom of speech
onto why i think downvotes should be allowed, likes are allowed, so it logically follows for dislikes to be allowed
likes are supposed to be a way to express your opinion on something and not have to type out a full response to it, there are times when you genuinely dislike/disagree with something, or thought it was bad so wish to dislike it, this did lead people to express anger/hatred towards others, but i don’t feel like censoring it by getting rid of dislikes was the right way to go about it, the hatred/anger still remains it’s just that the means of expressing it is reduced, and people should still have their right to express dislike
okay well i tried to post the new message but links aren’t allowed, basically the imgur link was of me typing “BRING BACK DOWNVOTES” in all capital letters but receiving an error message saying “body seems unclear, is it a complete sentence?” and being rendered unable to post
