    I downvote really bad stuff in fp, to kick it off.  But also find the haters a problem.  You can't do much about them.

     

     

    /me goes and downvotes all of Poorsoft's saves.

    Usually, down voters aren't haters, they are just people who think the save is crap.

     True, or people who casualy use the vote buttons based on their preference. "eh, it's a good counter, but not as fast as the other one I saw" 

     

    edit: It's not really thier fault, just carelessness.

    Or otherwise, "it's nice but mine does it as quick as SPRK" or something I saw on @mniip's thin binary counter save.
    Anyhow. Downvotes are useful as self-moderation tools, but they quite often don't work as expected and turn into like/dislike buttons.

    Maybe the down vote button should be removed altogether.

    That's a good idea! But only the owner of the save schooldays be above to see that. Not anybody who comes along. And mods.
