Lmao Rizzo we love hearing from you! I feel the same way, though, and there's been a lot less negative forum discussion since the downvote/upvote system was added.
I kind of knee jerk react when I see something that I don't think would be a good site improvement and I think being able to say a quick "No, I don't like this" isn't inherently bad.
I want to say that there is a stark difference between downvoting suggestions and downvoting sarp nominations, which has caused a bad time [for me]. I am happy that we're still not going to be able to downvote people, GMs, and characters. Downvoting a suggestion to change the site? Completely different story.
