Anyone offended by high voted posts?
-
Just wondering since I've seen a lot of 5-rated posts being down rated for no reason the past few days in the VC++/MFC forum. Does the read line hurt someones eyes or what? I always thought the voting facility is a way to alert other members about posts worth reading because they contain some good tips or tricks. I just feel this whole idea going down the drain due to abuse. If it's a joke that gets down rated I couldn't care less, but if the post contains something good it somewhat disturbs me. At the end of the day this behaviour may keep people with good ideas from posting. Thoughts anyone? -- Roger

Is your ego so fragile that you even care what votes you are getting? :(( I seem to get the most 5 votes on off handed remarks meant to amuse rather than inform. :rolleyes: When I take the time to compose a reasoned response I usually get no votes or low votes. :mad: Actually, low votes just show that I have directed my response to the heart of the matter. :~ Maybe not the response people are looking for but one they cannot just click through without at lest registering their resentment. :cool: At the end of the day, even if I bring proof of the votes I received for responses I have posted, a 35 Baht bottle of Beer Chang still costs me 35 Baht. Go figure? :(( Relax and have another beer. Things likes votes received on CP will seem a lot less important. ;-) :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: Actually I do not need six bottles of Beer Chang because it is 6.4° and a bottle contains 640ml. Quuat Song [2 bottles] is more than sufficient for me at any one sitting. I'm on-line therefore I am. JimmyRopes

Maybe if you haven't had that much beer your mind would be clear enough to realize that I didn't mean my own posts, given that you took the time to read the posts above. ;) My posts above have been both up rated and down rated in way that amuses me rather than offends me. If that tells you something about my ego I leave up to you. :cool: :rose: Roger

I would second that, but i personally would like to see who has voted my posts down for no reason (ex: other people have posted similar messages from time to time and only mine gets voted down.)

Why bother? It is not like it means anything important. Maybe you offended someone and they like to vote you down? I'm on-line therefore I am. JimmyRopes
