Friendship

Dear Reedsy,


I've emailed you endless and endless times, however, you ignored. I NEED you to reply, please. 

It's all about downvoting.

 "Oh, this is just a thing about downvoting, B-O-R-I-N-G!" 

And skip.

This is an important message, Reedsy.

My friend Ari Reynes, has been downvoted from 4,600 to 1,000. This is unacceptable and the hard-worked for points are gone-poof. This isn't a threat, but a lot of people are taking breaks from Reedsy.

I, myself, plan on leaving Reedsy for the sake of downvoters-(I am more concerned about my friends.)

This is a time when downvoters are striking the most-either from multiple accounts or just from teaming.

Sadly, the Marshmallows are practically gone. 

I wasn't here when all that happened, however, I suspect that that's the reason why Marshmallows were created; the cause of downvoters. 

I have just checked, and many of my friends were downvoted 5,000 points down. Literally. Want me to list a view? Sure! I'll gladly, but I bet that'll be the rest of the story.

Here's just a F E W, you may add to the list if you'd like.

Ari Reynes (4600-1,000.)

ᗩᗴᖇiᑎ ᗷ 💚 (31,010-28,000.)

💜ᴀ ᴍ ᴇ ᴛ ʜ ʏ ꜱ ᴛ 💜 (5,100-1,000.)

山.w. S𝓀y฿elle (3,000-1,000.)

𝕃𝕦𝕟𝕒 ℂ𝕠𝕝𝕠𝕟 (2,000-1,000.)

✯ ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕠𝕥𝕚𝕔 𝕊𝕡𝕚𝕣𝕒𝕝𝕤 ✯ (4,900-1,000.)

ℂ𝕒𝕣𝕠𝕝𝕚𝕟𝕒 𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕨 🏳️‍🌈 (2,000-1,000.)

𝒞𝑒𝓁𝑒𝓈𝓉☯ 𝑀𝒶𝒿🔮𝓀𝓀𝓊 𝒮𝒽𝒾𝓃🦋𝒷𝓊 (10,000-1,000.)



As you can see, downvoting is making people feel...Hurtful. Perhaps it may sound stupid just to quit Reedsy just because of some stupid downvoters-well, it is. Wanna know why? 'Cuz your friends are just gonna be there and upvote you. When I was downvoted, it was a battle between them and my friends (obviously my friends won.) Thanks to them, I'm above 1k, without...I'd be at 0.

The upvoting button SHOULD BE A THING.

The downvoting button SHOULDN'T BE A THING.

Reedsy, I doubt you'll ever see this message because...

1. You never respond to my emails.

2. Your boss would never (probably) see this.

3. You'd let the downvoting button exist anyway even after everyone left Reedsy, huh?


All I'm applying is:

Remove that downvote button.

Remove that down-arrow.



Sigh here (Reedsy name) as a petition to remove downvoting. If the word count get's too much, then make a new one. Like this story if you want the downvoting button removed so it can get to the very top. If it wasn't clear enough, delete one "Reedsy author here" sentence and put your Reedsy name there.

Thanks for writing this. I know how it is to get downvoted. I got downvoted from 1300- 666 and it was devastating. I know how you feel so if you need anything please just let me know.

Reply

My points were downvoted exactly to 666, too! Do you know what 666 means? Thank you for the support <3

Isn't 666 an unlucky number because of the history behind it. I really don't know much though.

Reply

"666" is an asian thing. It's the numbers of "The Beast." I think it's an asian thing.

Hi Blixxi, I don't know you very well, but I had to thank you for all the work you've put into finding the downvoter and ending downvoting. We're all in shock that someone who was part of our community could do something like this. But, you've been such a sport, and so vigilant. Thank you, for all you've done, it's much appreciated. Lots of love, K

Heya! Thank YOU so much! Your so sweet for mentioning me :) I really appreciate your kindness, but I'd like to thank other people for helping ME find the downvoter :)
