          No, it is flagging something as abuse. Would you rather not see an abuse-vote also work as a downvote, highlighting the topic in a different color? If abuse is a downvote, then what is the equivalent for an upvote? :rolleyes:

              Member Reputation System[^] for an upvote- A member receives points and Points awarded for voting events are multiplied by a factor dependant on the level of the voter. Points are weighted by voting member's level.

                I wouldn't. Only the admins should see abuse votes, and they should take appropriate action.

                  Why not color-highlight abusive posts? I say flag them in purple. Let them know it is not a normal downvote. Have various degrees of purple to show the amount of votes. Let me know how bad it is before I open the topic.

                    Fine for you. I don't care; I'll make my own decision. What may be bad is if members start hitting Abuse simply because someone else did and it simply becomes a pig-pile.

                      It is not a downvote, being abusive has some other consequences than simply a decline in rep. I could say that it "should be" a carefull consideration but also know it will not always be. Makes me wonder; how many abusive votes did I collect by now? Is there any easy way for me to know?

                          I'd usually say yes and find out, but now I'm unsure due to the open invitation. With over 60k members online, that might be a big pile :-\

                            I see no downside to abusing oneself.

                                  And, if someone is abusive by altering the letters of a word to avoid the filters, but the pronunciation and meaning are the same and they get marked as 'abuse', well, you're the worst thing to ever happen to the lounge! How dare you actually ask them to apply the very simple rules? Or, right, they didn't use profanity, per se, but really... they did.
