Letter to the downvote brigader

Good morning,


I hope you enjoyed your little downvote party, taking a nice dozen little ding off of my total.


I haven't been around as much, swamped with work,


But clearly something I commented, made you twerk,


Alas, the downvote is an option at your disposal,


Instead of responding there directly, you chose the shadows,


Sadly this behaviour is not uncommon, on Bravado.


I hope you enjoyed the scroll through my history,


And sincerely wish you anything but misery.



Go fuck yourself,


Randy Lahey

Well put, and something that needs to be addressed. This bad faith downvoting seems to be happening the most to people who have been here the longest, and consistently providing value.

What irks me, beyond the expected, is that we can't see what's actually been downvoted anymore. I'd get it if I was overly critical or controversial one day, but after a seemingly benign spurt of activity that includes earnest and thoughtful advice, I'll see them roll in.

@Gasty - if whomever is going on these downvoting sprees can't be contained, can we at least get some visibility into what's being downvoted? Understanding how we're rubbing people the wrong way, if they're legitimate, could help make sure that we understand if/when we're saying things that are upsetting people.

I had to hide out for a month or so because I couldn't find a way to say this post + comment.

Not a watch guy but what does that even retail for? I googled it and saw between 10k-18k which had me curious

Low end of that if you can even find one now. Rolex is holding back supply to drive prices up. Good to be the king.

I have dealt with that on/off here. Iโ€™m unapologetic about my opinions and that makes some people angry.

Same here. I state what I state. Also, itโ€™s an anonymous forum, if you donโ€™t like something, respond.

The purpose of a downvote is to show disagreement with a post or comment. Itโ€™s not always butthurt people, sometimes your opinions (mine too) stink. IMO if youโ€™re not getting downvoted then youโ€™re not bring honest.

That's true. I will downvote spam, or takes I don't agree with. I do not, however, brigade.

Yeah, the targeted downvotes where someone has to search a poster out and slap that arrow is just ridiculous.

When you see it on an innocuous comment adding some context or agreeing with a solid opinion you know it's more than just disagreement.

Thatโ€™s totally fair. The intention of the feature vs the actual use are different here.

100%. Accountability is important. And given that we can exchange the points for some awesome and often costly shit, itโ€™s a valuable feature.

But some bad actors arenโ€™t using it as intended unfortunately

@Gasty What's up with this? Also with the person that copied me word for word on your pinned post about my AMA. Any kind of headway I make with points gets taken away.

I donโ€™t know who you are. I donโ€™t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I donโ€™t have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you our commish alone now, thatโ€™ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you donโ€™t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

Also when is the commish counter going back to the top? This is not user friendly especially on the mobile web.

I donโ€™t like its new placement either. Now you have to be at the top of the homepage when it refreshes to see the changes.

Iโ€™d imagine bravado wants that +x to be highly visible to drive further engagement. Smack us in the face with it, donโ€™t hide it.

I love the barrages I get some mornings when I open the app. I donโ€™t think it actually reduces your total in the commission bank, but they think theyโ€™re actually hurting you.

Thing is, I haven't been as active, so the pool of potential individuals is really quite small.

It definitely does reduce total commission bank. I logged in the other day to -4, and saw my total go down.

I also had a bunch of upvotes happen since I'd logged in the day before, so someone went on a serious tangent downvoting dozens of my comments.

I just redeemed an item, and was in double digits; it absolutely reduced my total.
