Instructions somewhere? Is there a downvote button?

submitted by JoeyJoeJoe from (self.SaidIt)

Hello. New to this & didn't see an FAQ.... But is there a downvote button? I've seen some replies with negative numbers next to them but I don't see anything other than the "insightful" or "funny" options to vote on posts. Curious how to downvote. Thanks!

I just downvoted your comment.

FAQ

What does this mean?

The amount of karma (points) on your comment and Reddit account has decreased by one.

Why did you do this?

There are several reasons I may deem a comment to be unworthy of positive or neutral karma. These include, but are not limited to:

• ⁠Rudeness towards other Redditors, • ⁠Spreading incorrect information, • ⁠Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.

Am I banned from the Reddit?

No - not yet. But you should refrain from making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downvote, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy.

I don't believe my comment deserved a downvote. Can you un-downvote it?

Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downvote. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to Reddit PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downvote appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.

How can I prevent this from happening in the future?

Accept the downvote and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on Reddit.com. I will continue to issue downvotes until you improve your conduct. Remember: Reddit is privilege, not a right.

I can't tell if this is a parody post for Reddit, or an actual moderator going on a power trip right now. Very confusing.

There are some libtards creeping into here, even some fucking commies ffs... but nope, no downvote button. If we have such a button then the libtards come full force and take over, downvoting wrong-think and silencing sensible voices.

So we're better off without one.

Creeping? They are everywhere. Just write "downvoted" in comments.

I'm not pro-downvote, by you would also get the chance to downvote those "libtards"

Well normal people and conservatives tend to respect the right to free speech and don't downvote much just because they disagree.

It's the libtard cunts that gang together to do that. They love it, fucking love it.

A down vote button gives a serious advantage to bots & attacks.

If you don't get any, or hardly any insightfuls, consider it a "downvote".
