Bishop bring back votes
Ok i don't know if this is thread worthy but I see so many posts that say they want votes back, that ns isn't as fun with out them. I agree im getting bored on ns and I haven't even been on here very long. Even mingg wants em back and she gets nothing but down votes. So tell us bishop will they come back or should we wallow in a world of fair discussion.
POLL
Votes:
#dicks out for down votes
Starting to think Bishop MAY be a sidesnack if the voting doesn't return...
fuck off
maybe you should actually contribute to the site instead of dishing out the bullshit that half of you new members post.
NS went like 12 years without upvotes and in the 4 or so years that they had it it KILLED the discussion on the forums. Not that it was solely from the voting but that didn't help the forums dying off one bit.
Forums are made for one reason and that's discussion. This isn't reddit or tumblr or twitter is a fucking forum its made to discuss things not say stupid shit for upvotes. Dont like it? Leave

Sorry im not core enough for you homie, but when Ive read most of the recent threads on here and when there are 5day old posts on the first page, I get bored. Ns is dying because kids get their shit of Instagram and snap chat and ns is boring to them. So they just see no reason to come on. We have 43 fucking members on right now like what the fuck im fine with no votes as long as shit is moving but its not so bring back fucking votes.

so you think that bringing back the ability to NOT post and just hit a little up arrow for your participation in a thread is going to make the forums more active? Interesting logic.

NS is going downhill fast
Typically, a thread that begins "I don't know if this is threadworthy"....is not threadworthy.
Believe it or not, we didn't have any of the stupid stuff like karma, downvotes, or Facebook Messenger before you joined. We just told newbz to STFU and use the searchbar and it was FINE.

i could give a fuck about karma of fb messenger I just get bored on ns since no one comes on any more so I wanted something to do.

because you posted at 2am on a Friday. c'mon big ben, not everyone doesn't have a bedtime
Downvotes/upvotes are the worst. You'd have people downvoting whatever you said just because a certain member posted it. Yes I was both a victim and a perpetrator of said action. And honestly voting just fucking sucks. There is enough circle jerking each others dicks, we don't need another fuel to that fire.

This is very true. Upvotes and downvotes thrive on mob mentality- just look at the comments section on Pinkbike articles. People upvote or downvote primarily based on how well or poorly a comment is perceived to be doing. Rarely is it done based on the actual content of the comment. Once enough people jump on a comment, the masses seem to swarm to it. And that happened here on NS as well.
In a perfect world, these votes would give you a quick idea as to which posts are the best and which are the worst but that's rarely how it worked. It was, more often than not, a passive/aggressive way to attack someone. And it made it so you didn't have to comment- you just neg someone and be done with it.
If you actually want to "Make NS Great Again", fucking contribute. If you like something, discuss it. If you hate something, discuss that too. God forbid we have to use actual communication skills to make a point.
I don't really give a shit either way but I liked them tbh. The mob mentality of the votes was entertaining.
Bring it back. I miss down voting Chubz
So people got so butthurt over loosing imaginary internet points that they would stop posting? And we're blaming that for the downfall of NS forums?
Weird.

it's a special fuckin zuckerbitch sidesnack snowflake needy kids thing
i just want to downvote people just for shits n gigs for the anger and frustration it brought.

This for sure, I never liked the idea of upvotes or reddit shit. People just hit up or down on something they do or do not like and leave it at that.
I just got back on newschoolers after a month because I was out exploring eastern Canada. why would downvotes be removed!!??? shame on NS

Wait......what the fuck is a sidesnack?
Why do you guys really want down voting?
In my mind, the only reason you want to do it is to have validation on your post or to humiliate someones post. Both of these reasons are narcissistic and unnecessary IMO.

Nailed it. It also influences gapers to only agree with each other (aka circle jerking) so they can have a lot of up votes, like it fucking matters. Its as stupid as "props" on pinkbike. OMG I'M LIKE GONNA DOWNVOTE YOU SO HARD! Fuck off, you gapers.
only noobs want voting back
Just bring back up votes. Good vibes only mon

Have you considered only bringing back up votes? so its positive or nothing.

Yup the need for self validatation is pretty god damn annoying.

plz
DeepskierNot more active just more interesting for site members
yeah dude, its so much more interesting to get an upvote rather than some written words
S.J.WDownvotes/upvotes are the worst. You'd have people downvoting whatever you said just because a certain member posted it.
well you're not wrong, i'd always down vote any post i saw from your account
I will say that even the upvote kinda caused a shitload of people whose sole purpose was to post "Get Full Tilts, Insert other NS related joke" first on every post just to get upvotes.
it was annoying and detracted from actually conversation.
Although I will say that it was nice seeing an asshole get 50+ downvotes.

that's what shitposters are asking for though. everyone downvotes their shitty comment and the troll sits there with a hard on.
Poindexter.yeah dude, its so much more interesting to get an upvote rather than some written words
written words can get old after you posted in a thread back to back
BrueThis is why we need downvotes
Cause you're a pussy?
stinky_petewell you're not wrong, i'd always down vote any post i saw from your account
Why is it always the nobodies on this site that always have the biggest hard on for me. GTFO kid
At this point the purpose of removing votes has completely dissolved but admins dont want to admit they're wrong
tbh i dont really care.
i just thought it was kinda entertaining to see how fellow NS'ers thought about a specific idea or input.
but honestly it doesnt really affect the way i use this website so i really dont mind it.

These are all tru. I love it without down and up votes. It allows people to have and develop an opinion without getting everyone else's shoved in their face

dam why you always gotta make me feel so bad about myself? just too good at roasting

I see that, Its purely just the amount im on ns i just get bored but have nothing to do. If there were a lot of new posts and stuff to read i wouldn't care much. It just feels like Ive seen all these posts. Its not a huge deal ill go with bishops call but id still vote bring them back.
