*Copied from Amethyst*
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.
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.

I am new(er) to Reedsy and have not had this happen to me, but I hope it is less of a problem now! I read your bio, and we share quite a few interests! Here is a little bit about me, based on what you did: godly parent: Hades Star sign: Scorpio House: Ravenclaw And Legolas is MINE!!!!! lol (I am also a huge LotR nerd.) I apologize if this was weird, or cringey, but I am highly caffeinated and cannot be fully held responsible for my actions. I love your username, btw.

I hope so too, but I wouldn't know as I hardly open Reedsy anymore. That's amazing!!! It's always great to get to know people. Wow Hades! My friend is a Scorpio lol I feel like I too am a Ravenclaw but I always get Hufflepuff :( Whoa buddy...back off >:( No of course not haha. There's no such thing as cringey (well...that's not true...but you're far from it). Ooo what's your favorite source of caffeine. Thank you! Apologies for the late response, btw.

Hey, I'm so sorry this happened. This is unacceptable, downvoters are taking down all the hard work created by writers. I'm a marshmallow and If you would, could you please give me the link to your friends Reedsy page? I'd love to upvote them. Have a nice day. :)

Yeah sure!!! I don't know many of these people as well as they know each other...unfortunately. I'd love to, but I don't think I'm quite as popular yet. I'll do Writer Maniac, Amethyst, and Aerin to start....from there you'll find a whole network of people! I feel like I had around 815 points...now I've only got 688...that's sus.... Here ya go: https://blog.reedsy.com/creative-writing-prompts/author/writer-maniac/ https://blog.reedsy.com/creative-writing-prompts/author/i/ https://blog.reedsy.com/creative-writing-prompts/author/9d4919/
