Downvoting

Yeah but down voting let you voice an opinion so to speak. 5 - Yeah right on 4 - You have a point 3 - You have a point just not the right one 2 - Are you elephanting crazy 1 - You're a total douche

No, I am not calling for a return of it, although that is tempting many times. I was actually against removing it at first but have come to see that I don't miss it at all. I think it was a good idea to remove it. :)

Its absence has annoyed the Hell out of me. So much fun can be had, twiddling the cursor over the little green arrows to light them up.

1-5 voting was much better than what we have now. I don't understand why we have to be treated like children. Downvoted posts showed up grey so you could see what wasn't worth your time, too. Some things are bad enough they should be reported as abuse, but some posts were just vapid and deserved a 1 or 2 without actually being bad enough that I want to see them summarily removed.

I'm pretty sure it was removed because it was being used by children. :) There are so many waste of time posts on here, in my opinion. What people had for lunch, what they're going to do later. It makes it feel like twitter and facebook. I hate that. Some people like it though.

I use to find it helped me realise what was acceptable and unacceptable. One of my old posts would attract say 3x upvotes and 15x downvotes. I would look at this and say, OK, perhaps I overstepped the mark there, some people found it funny but most were appalled, and then I would think twice before posting similar subject matter. Now that same post will attract just 3x upvotes and I'm none the wiser that 15 people didn't like it. I think because of this newbies are not going to be educated this way and will post stuff that nobody particularly likes, but will have no way of knowing. I think the Swiss weather forecasts are a good example of threads that would have been downvoted in the past, and thus educating the poster.

As this is the internet, and CP is coming up on 10,000,000 users, I would imagine that 15 people not liking something is a given. You shouldn't really change your habits until an appreciable minority is offendend. Let's be generous and put that at 0.1%, meaning you can do as you please until you get 10,000 downvotes. :-D
