Request for more then 5 negative votes per 24 hours

With the amount of drivel that is posted on the forums, 5 negs a day just doesn’t cut it. And can we introduce negative votes for forum threads too.

    I know what you mean… cant down vote this post what a bummer

    • Heh that was too easy.

    Another whinge post?

      Perhaps being able to neg a comment more than once would help too

        But don't two negs make a + ? Asking for a friend.

    • +1

      Damn, I’ve run out of negs so I can’t neg you.

      • +2

        I can sell you mine.

        • +1

          tempting.

        • but you can't neg yourself…

  • +1

    Your post history suggests you’re a rather good troll. Well played sir/madam.

    • +3

      Every post he makes is negative. I bet he's fun at parties too.

      • I’ll make it a priority to pay more attention to your drivel from now then =)

          You're welcome.

    • Are you talking to me?

      • No, OP.

        • +2

          Stalking someone’s posting history would suggest you have some inner troll tendencies yourself kipps. Embrace it.

          • @Tee Rex Arms: is that you palpatine?

  • I'm with OP on both points and mods should get votes both ways as well .

    Scotty doesn't know it there some real power freaks in the System !

    I blame the x dominant group….

      Oh ho you went there!

    Because neg votes really tell em!

    How about just writing a comment, expressing yourself, rather than hiding behind a vote?

    I personally don't care how greyed out someone's comments are, I'll comment if I feel the need to voice an opinion.

      Your opinion is wrong ;)

        Pistols at dawn?

          I have an aimbot.

      rather than hiding behind a vote?

      Already "hiding behind a keyboard", so why not? ;)

      If someone posts something dangerously wrong, or horribly rude or whatever, a -ve vote is much quicker than trying to argue. If the person is reasonable, they might see the -ve score and consider adjusting their behaviour. If the person is unreasonable, they wouldn't listen to your response anyway…

      How about just writing a comment, expressing yourself, rather than hiding behind a vote?

      I have a good track history of saying "I like X" and people saying "no you're wrong" and downvoting me when I point out they couldn't possibly decide what I do and don't like. Ahhh the trolls of OzBargain. Such a fun bunch.

  • I agree with this. Never enough negs to hand out for the crap people post on here. The number of stupid, unhelpful comments and people trying to be funny and failing miserably is out of control.

  • +1

    I agree with more than 5 negs, I only read comments that have a lot of votes, plus or neg.

  • I think 5 is plenty because bandwagoning happens quite often.

    Perhaps adopting a system like Reddit has that hides the number of votes until 1 hour after might not be a bad thing.

    • I think hiding votes would make things worse, if someone says something that is very wrong, if the comment is already at -3 or -4 I don't neg them as one more won't increase the message much, I save my negs for messages that aren't negged yet or are only at -1 or -2. If the votes are hidden then anyone like me will pile all their negs on and after the hour they'll be at -20

    You get 10 negs per 24 hours with OzBargain Plus.

    • +2

      Yes but your content has all the drivel already filtered out so you don't get to use them anyway.

      • +2

        Which membership tier do I need to access only the drivel?

        (Inb4: "just click on you own profile…")

        • +2

          Just search "Mustang"

    • +3

      Is Plus better than the other membership that we are not allowed to talk about?

    • And free shipping included too!

    • so much for the first rule…

  • +2

    You need OzBargain Premium to get 20 negs per 24 hours. It launcher last year on April the 1st
    OzBargain Premium Ultra gives you unlimited negs

    Op, how do you get through life with zero neg votes?

    • -2

      By listening to words of wisdom from your nana. Usually soap related.

  • +1

    Pssp. Meet me in the alley. I have what you need.

    PS. Cash on pickup only. No exceptions.

  • Seems there is unlimited positive votes but limited 5 neg votes…

    • I meet that quota daily ha

      • +1

        Is that why your name is called "PenaltyBoxAgain"? Negging away without a care and someone reporting your neg and then you get pegged by a mod?

        • +1

          They used be known as Mike83 and then got corrupted by the PenaltyBox

  • Scotty can sell yah 5 for $5 hehe .
