« 2manyusernames:upvoted to make up for downvote. This is not spam. It was surrounded by spam but isn't. Please be careful when downvoting new members

« doggylives : I downvoted it, not because I thought it was spam but because it was submitted by a new breed of spammer who try and build validity and respect on social sites by submitting random non-spamming material in order to then slip in spam hopefully unnoticed.

« 2manyusernames:I thought it was you. The link is msnbc. The link is valid. Each link should be treated as individuals. There is no reason to downvote legitimate articles just because other articles are spam.

« doggylives : Dude, there's also no need to downvote my polite comment. At least I admit when I've downvoted and give a reason.

If I see someone who I know for a fact is a spammer then I'm going to downvote whatever they submit. That's my choice and after all the downvote button is there for a reason.

Do I downvote yo when you decide to downvote someone?! No. You're being very petty here 2many.

« doggylives : You're calling me a prick for using a facility that is there to be used as and when I see fit?

Dude, I've tried with you , lord knows I've tried and you know I have when we've had disagreements in the past but to call me a prick and a jerk for using my downvotes how I see fit based on knowledge and research into someone's intentions in posting on plime is TOTALLY out of order. I WILL NOT be bullied by you into acting or voting how YOU see fit. This is NOT your site, you are a member here and to be abusive and try to bully someone when they use their vote in a way that YOU don't like is ridiculous.

Do I call you names when you vote how you wish to?! No!

The downvote button is there to be used by EVERYONE how they see fit. You might not like the way a vote goes but guess what?! That's democracy, deal with it.

If you see a downvote that you don't agree with go upvote it not be abusive to the person who saw fit to downvote in the first place.

Peace out.

*editz* I did not ban this guy, I knocked him down to 0. As a user moderated site you then have the option to upvote again. If you choose to do that you can guarentee I'm not going to start calling you a jerk and a prick.

« 2manyusernames:

Every time you get downvoted it is Evil and Wrong and an attack on freedom and democracy every where.

« doggylives : I'd love to see an example of this ;)

« vexingmodstwo : What is that?

« 2manyusernames : looks like fried pork skin?

« tundramonkey:I downvoted you for a couple of reasons:

1. You didn't actually state why you downvoted until someone else downvoted you.

2. This article isn't spam! It's a valid link. If you have a problem with this user, who is a 1, pm him/her instead of deleting this person.

3. This isn't the first time you've done this. It's become too easy to delete n00bs, and IMO this is discouraging some potentially wonderful new Plimers.

My first link was a dupe, and my second was to a blog. At that point in time, a year and a half ago, someone kindly explained my little downvotes and I learned the rules and became a happy Plimer. I'm almost 100% confident that if I did the same thing now, someone such as yourself would have deleted me and I would have written off Plime as a site full of a*****es and, which I know isn't true, but I wouldn't have returned.

"With great power comes great responsibility," Doggy, so please curb your desire to destroy the n00bs and give them a chance! 2man isn't bullying you either, Doggy, so there's no need to fly off the handle at him.
