Uh, that’s not at all what he’s making it sound like. He’s simply stating what some people were doing.

@Pagan  
the forum was locked before i got there so no i didn’t see it.

Just one question: you all agree downvotes in the comments would actually be a bad idea? just asking.

@angrybrony  
Were you in the forum about it? I was, people insulted the mods personally for even attempting it, there’s no strawman about it, it was immature and pitiful. I don’t think removing the entire downvote system is a great idea but the reaction some people had to it was completely unnecessary.

@Dusk Raven  
he’s making sound like everybody that didn’t want the hide button were sanding threats to the mods.

@Zharkaer  
honestly the hide button would be nice if was it own thing. it could work like the upvote button but for down votes.

@Pagan  
You can have a hide image button without removing the downvote button.

@angrybrony  
Not a strawman when you look at the actual threads.

@Fingusa  
Well, I have three things that aren’t edits on my artist tag, and I bitched about it, so that’s objectively incorrect.

@Pagan  
If you don’t like the users on this site, then leave it. Go make your own and censor them into oblivion.

@Pagan  
The community reaction to the change has made me respect the “community” a lot less… I really don’t get what the big deal was.  
@angrybrony  
Is he wrong?  
@Fingusa  
Vocal minority strikes again?

@Pagan  
nice strawman you got there.

@G.S.  
You’re right, the hide button was useful, but replacing the downvote button with it instead of having it be an extra button was unnecessary.

@Naughtypony2010  
i actually agree as well to this. add another one. so we can make another pony :P

@Zahnrad  
No. It’s historic.

@Naughtypony2010  
It was something different so obviously it had no chance, people screeched the moment they saw it and even went after the mods personally for changing it. Shows how mature this site is.

@Zahnrad
 
*said me, you mean
 
don’t act like I’m wrong
 
that hide button was useful

@Tetragrammaton Cleric  
what are even talking about? “finally waking up” it was only a few hours.

So the introduction post here https://derpibooru.org/meta/downvoting-is-being-replaced-by-hiding  
lied?? Downvoting obviously was used wrong and non constructive…  
I also agree that at least the hide button should be added in the bar

@Zahnrad  
The world is finally waking up…. and it will never be the same…. I LOVE IT!

Never Forget

@Zahnrad  
It always is; It’s because there’s always so much to cover up.

@Fingusa  
Hundreds? XP

@Fingusa  
Sounds just liberal coverups.

hehehehe
