    Yes, but you know doing that won't always work. And there would always be people who are just plain idiots :P

    Get Stylish for Firefox(Other alternatives for other browsers), select "Write new style..." and copy this to it:
    .ScoreGood {
    box-shadow: none !important;
    /* For the tricksy ones out there, you can replace the values yourself!
    Example: box-shadow: 2px 3px 1px #000000 !important;
    What it means: box-shadow: +x +y blur colour (!important is a modifier so its style gets placed on top of the
    official style)
    +x: How much towards the right the shadow shifts
    +y: How much downwards the shadow shifts
    colour: can be either hex format (#RRGGBB[00-FF]) or rgb(R[0-255],G,B) or rgba(R,G,B,A[0-1]) */
    }

    and that just about clears the green glow.

    If downvotes were to be reinstated, then they should at least follow this guide from Reddit:
    Reddiquette link: [link]
    Vote. The up and down arrows are your tools to make redditThe TPT forums what you want it to be. If you think something contributes to conversation, upvote it. If you think it does not contribute to redditThe TPT forums or is off-topic in a particular communitythread, downvote it.

    If the downvote button was re-added, there should also be a limit on how many you can do a day. Some people used to downvote every single comment in a thread for no reason, and they could also look at all of your posts and downvote each one individually if they really wanted, bringing it down below 0. Even with the guidelines reddit uses, some people would just ignore them, and I don't think theres a way for moderators to see who voted on comments.

    You just gave me a great idea! Whenever someone wants to vote they must first post a comment describing why they like the comment. Something like that.

    What if we learned that too from Reddit?

    One who accesses your post through your userpage can vote on it, but the vote won't affect anything but his window. (So he doesn't know that his downvote array fails) and limit it to ~10 downvotes per day?

    Reddit takes the disinformation a bit further - people can also be ghost-banned, so their votes and comments are not seen anywhere but his own window so he thinks he does everything he does, but actually there's no effect.


    @R3APER that's annoying. I mean, it'll just annoy people not willing to comment, plus people might be like "Upvoted."

    No just upvoting is good enough, adding the downvote button isn't really necessary cause people abuse it and even with a limit it's not helpful xD

     I know of a website like this, where there's an option "Require comment to vote?".

    Maybe if there was a "reputation" or something, it could affect the limit (high reputation can vote more than a 1st day on TPT troll). Then, the people trusted to post and vote well could do the voting, while the trolls sit there glaring.
