DU, this is a problem because not everybody may agree with those ratings. Also, in my case, after the raid on my posting history that took place yesterday, everything I posted in the last 3 months or so is now being censored for no other reason that some assholes felt butthurt that I donated the money for the rating plugin.
He who desires to cause butthurt might take care lest he thereby become butthurt. And when you gaze long into the Codex, the Codex gazes also into you.
Also, just a day ago:
Oh come on, we might not have gotten consent first, but you know you ended up enjoying what ironyuri, Menckenstein, SuicideBunny and I did to you. I was considering finishing the job today, since I hate to leave anything unfinished, but DU seems to have taken my rating 'privileges' away.
You were a special case, and I'd ask for them back on that basis, but I've found that the codex loads a bit faster for me now that I can't rate posts, so I quite like this development.
I agree with you on account of the fact that yesterday I laughed more than in the last 3 months combined because of the lolcalypse happening on this thread:D.
How quickly slight adversity reveals one's true colours. Trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls itt. :D
I don't agree with the hiding of posts. I don't care how much you and your band of merry men raid my post history and rate everything negatively because by doing that you prove yourself to be just smarmy little children and I don't feel the need to argue with you because you can't be argued with rationally and I don't give a shit that you don't agree with what I say. I'm not here to take part in a popularity contest by way of aggregated ratings. However, I despise censorship in general and, in particular, I resent the censoring of posts that do nothing but report facts, like all my posts that your actions have censored in the Kickstarter Watch thread.
Also, assuming that hiding posts is a good idea, even if it isn't, the current system of hiding posts with just 3 negative ratings, regardless of the positive ratings, is stupid. As you have already proven, is extremely easy to abuse. You can even do it by yourself if you have two alts.
