Stucky Question Of The Day #9: Up, Down, or Out

Whenever I get butt-hurt over the down votes, people almost unanimously advise me — “Voting doesn’t matter!” Many others say they never vote, or even pay attention to it.

We know for a fact that ‘flash’ manipulates votes.  That also means other people can do it also.

So……… keep the voting function, or get rid of it?

My vote is to get rid of it.

Note:  This is for entertainment and info purposes only.  No one should ever ask or advise Admin to do anything regarding this website. What he does, or does not do, is entirely up to him.

Retain voting.

I would like to know how to manipulate the votes – solely in the interest of learning, especially in the area of computing.
so tell Me (or us).

Voting should stay – but the voters to be qualified:

You would be ineligible to vote if you are the recipient of any welfare program or medicaid.

You would have to answer 6 out of 10 questions about our government, current leaders names, etc.

You have to vote in person. If you’re too infirm to vote, you shouldn’t be making decisions.

No more of this fucking early voting or absentee ballots – exception for active duty military.

In local elections, raising property taxes, school levies on properties, etc, only property owners should be allowed to vote.

I think this would be a good start.

Getting rid of it leads to another question. Would that increase or decrease the number of comments?

Too funny, our resident thumb cop, now says get rid of it. Like an alcoholic saying, No, really, go ahead and take my bottle, I can stop anytime. You’d be shaking like a crack baby before the day was out.

The thumbs up/down will stay. Anything that pisses people off will be retained. Plus, I’m too lazy to do whatever it takes to get rid of it.

Plus, how would flash make himself known without commenting?

I can’t believe that woman hating pussy scampered off the site like a mangy cur. I guess he doesn’t have any balls.

Keep the up or down voting for comments but no voting people off the TBP.

That would reek of French Revolution tactics and that didn’t work out so well.

It would be great if we could see WHO was voting which way on a particular comment, but I have no idea what that entails.

Keep the voting for comments, I’d like to see voting for posts as well because sometimes people have nothing to add butt a thumb.

Stuck, you’re a big dog and as such you are in the cross-hairs like the other big dogs. Leaders or main contributors take all the heat, especial when you wear your heart on your sleeve. Be proud you get up and down votes because sometimes a down vote is from someone who is just too fucking stupid to understand or stubborn to admit defeat.

I think there would be fewer replies/comments without the thumbs, but only because seeing the positive/negative response seems to prompt some people to defend their agreement or disagreement. So, I can understand why Admin wants to have some way for readers to quickly register their approval/disapproval of a comment(er) or opinion.

As Admin, he can see how many people are actually looking and doesn’t need the votes to tell him how many are reading, but he knows that in order to draw a larger audience the bigger the shitfest the better. I personally find that even when I get irritated beyond belief at the mangy curs hanging around here, I can’t stop myself from checking in a couple times a day. I guess if the EMP knocks out all the towers around my hill place, I’ll just head into TEOTWAWKI without TBP, but otherwise, I’m hooked. There’s just something about a pack of shit throwing monkeys that is fascinating to watch.

I like the voting and especially appreciate the ability to down-vote a post. I don’t particularly enjoy being a feces-flinging monkey because most of the time I agree with the posts shared on the message boards and a thumbs down is sufficient if the issue isn’t worth going to war over.

Social media’s philosophy of “everyone gets a medal for participating” doesn’t lend itself to down-voting, which is disappointing. I suspect the number of users of social media would decline dramatically if “friends” and “followers” could disapprove of selfies, photographed lunches, macaroni art drawings by 3-year olds, or rainbow-overlaid profile pictures. Speaking of which, I tend to save my vitriol for those folks. And family obviously.

@John, re: social media and up/down.

Facebook DID have an up/down feature but they removed it because it was “hurting the feelings” of so many of the US’s special little snowflakes. After all, if 600 of my closest “friends” can’t agree with me 100% on everything I do, say, post, and comment, well then, let’s only show the positives.

@Stuck, re the question: keep the voting, its nice to see how many people don’t agree with me

And for all you that question the thumbs up/thumbs down, here is what I have observed:

If you view TBP with another browser/computer, you are able to vote again. So, one on a phone, one on your tablet, one on your kindle, one on your laptop, etc., and that is just the easiest way.

If you clear your history/cookies and don’t actually log in, again, voting paradise.

You can vote without being actually “logged” in. I quit logging in a long time ago as I have to look to my upcoming court battle and make sure that I have the recent years without my “anti-government/conspiracy nut” comments.

I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that hub’s driving drunk with daughter and no proof (as if his family whom watched him multiple times would testify for me, har!) would far pale in comparison to my beliefs that this country is fubar. I couldn’t take the risk of getting a judge/mediator with a brain/common sense/reality check, so I quit logging in and this is when I found the voting abnormalities.

In a stunning move today Bea Lever and the “Truther Army ” declared all out victory over Admin and his band of 3. Bea Lever was quoted as saying “Truth always wins in the end and besides it isn’t that hard to whip 4 clueless blind people”.

This is the second glorious win for Bea Lever in less than one year in a TBP war.

The true question of the day is –

What kind of person goes thru over 400 comments on his own post, making notes and commenting on every one. Trying in vain to overcome all the thumbs down, that eat at his very soul?

Answer – An attention seeking narcissist, who craves validation and praise on every level. On par with the HNIC. Not to mention one who has enough free time on his hands that even the free shitters look busy in comparison.

Stucky,

re: my 19th amendment comment. It appeared to me that a disproportionate percentage of your troofers were women. So I was pointing out that if the franchise had remained limited to males, we would make our policy decisions based more upon logic – such as which countries to invade. I already suspect one or more of the women here of voting down almost every comment I make – even the most innocuous. I figured the 19th amendment comment would make the antipathy even more pronounced. It takes a highly intelligent and dispassionate woman to understand the error that was the 19th amendment.

Stucky, you are a dick no doubt about it, but one of the funniest dicks in the cyberuniverse. I laughed my ass off reading your posts. Except for the t4c part. Me did not likey. I almost rescinded my gracious and long standing whaler ride, lobster roll, beer festival invitation to you. Such invitations are as rare as a kneegrow physicist. Glad things turned out ok between you two in the end.

By the way, this question of the day is moronic. Of course we retain the voting mechanism you weiner schnitzel. Be a man like SSS who is proud of his down votes!
