Adventure

*Copied from SAPPHIRE*

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.)

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.

Sign 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.

Hey Breckin, please sign me in. I have been downvoted before to 666 points and it was horrible and made me disgusted with the downvoter. So please let me know if anyone needs any upvoting and I would be more than happy to help them. ~Palak Shah

Aww. Well I'm glad you got it back. You really deserved those points. I have been downvoted one hundred points and never got it back.

I think you had posted this before but anyways, Please sign me in. I know what downvoting feels like, it's cruel and really unfair. So to all the authors who got downvoted, pls let me know. I'd be happy to help.

Reply

I did post this before, and I had to delete it due to some errors on it. Yes, down voting is cruel and shouldn't be a thing at all. I have been down voted before,one hundred karma points, but it doesn't really matter. We write for fun and not for karma points. And if people don't like are story, people don't like our story.

I am sorry Breckin, I was filling your form and I was kinda offended by the fact that you mentioned just 'Black ' and 'White' instead of letting us to describe the character's skin colour. If you decide to fix that, do let me know. I'll fill the form then.

Reply

Im so sorry! I didn't mean for it to be offending, but yes, I will change it.
