Question

Help answer this question below.

I keep getting rated -5, so it must be coming from someone higher up. I'm not upset, just curious as to what was objected to when no comment was given. Don't you think the higher ranking people should know better, and supply a reason so I can learn?

    One would think that a higher-ranking person would have been here long enough to leave a comment. However, I know that I do not always leave one, as it opens the door for retalitory downrating.

    I can see that some will down rate peoples answers to put themselves further up the list.That is why there is little validation is the system,and in fact it doesn't mean anything.My questions are usually answered best by the ones on the bottom anyways.

    Yes I sincerely believe that any of the higher ranking members that downrate a person without leaving a comment are doing the whole system a diservice. It is unkind and unhelpful for a person not to be told why they have been downrated , especially when the person Trolling is of a -5rank

    I would hope that a user at this level would give a reason for downrating answers. I just checked your profile, I don't see any of these -5 ratings. When did this occur?

    I threw a few points your way. I have the same issues with downraters. You know you don't have to come to the page to down or up rate you can just go down the line of questions on the home page. you could just click away! I think how that is happening.

    I would think so too, but there is some high level religious troll following me around sometimes lol. It's just a level, and when it comes down to it, it's just a website anyone can get on and do what they want.

    I think the down rate button should be removed. If someone doesn't agree so be it. But why be chicken and down grade with out an answer? I am with you 100%
