Dear Reedsy,
I've emailed you endless and endless times, however, you ignored. I NEED you to reply, please.ย
It's all about downvoting.
ย "Oh, this is just a thing about downvoting, B-O-R-I-N-G!"ย
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.ย
I wasn't here when all that happened, however, I suspect that that's the reason why Marshmallows were created; the cause of downvoters.ย
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.)
แฉแดแiแ แท ๐ (31,010-28,000.)
๐แด แด แด แด ส ส ๊ฑ แด ๐ (5,100-1,000.)
ๅฑฑ.w. S๐yเธฟelle (3,000-1,000.)
๐๐ฆ๐๐ โ๐ ๐๐ ๐ (2,000-1,000.)
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.

Ooooh niceeee :) When you say "novel", does that mean you're going to publish it? Or is it just a longer piece of writing?

Reply
lol XD probablyyyyyyyyyy because I failed my student council speech :P :)
Reply
That is so relatable lol. Back in fourth grade, I ran for treasurer and completely flubbed my speech. I pronounced "economical" wrong (the joys of once being an idiotic fourth grader), and I almost skipped the biggest paragraph in the speech. I think the only reason I got elected was because the other two kids running for treasurer were G&T kids (if Canada doesn't have that, then you're lucky), and no one likes the G&T kids except for the G&T kids.

G&T? what is dat lol XD Well you did much better than me. I literally stared at everyone for a good minute and then said a sentence and that was that XD

Oh god. Like I thought at first this was kinda like... idk I always knew it was real but I feel like really really bad bc I didn't really see it. Like, to me upvoting was the same as downvoting; you took away points for nothing or gave points for nothing. But I've been here a while now. And it's really depressing to see this. So... I mean do I sign? Idk how... I'll try to upvote. Who is downvoting though? Does it tell you?
Reply
yeah :/ you can just ask us to add your name if you'd like to :)
Reply
No, it doesnโt tell who does what, unfortunately. Like it also doesnโt tell you that I just upvoted your comment. Itโs very very very annoying...
Reply
Yeah. This would all make a lot more sense if it put that little yellow dot up, tbh.
Reply
Yeppp... AND it would give downvoters an incentive NOT to go around downvoting, โcause then everybodyโd know who they were.

Oh and also lol I know you werenโt even talking to me, but as a person whoโs written like 600 poems between AllPoetry and Docs, I canโt resist adding a note: I think the most fun kind of poetry is freeverse, because you donโt feel like you have to force rhyme and instead you can write whatever you want with freedom to pen whatever you feel or think or believeeeeeeeeeeee Then again for a *contest*, rhyming might be a good path?? I donโt know. Still think freeverse is better. But a solid poetry tip overall is to include a ton of imagery and a...

Hehe noice ๐ Yesssss exactly! Aw shanks lol

hiiii! AHAHAH ME TOOOOOOO (well kinda lol, it's not a contest-) ahhh yes i do have sum lol let's see if that's true ;) 1. make it uNiqUe, so don't start too soon; find a REALLY interesting topic that you would want to spend time on 2. don't force the rhyme, try and make it fLoW 3. don't make it too short, don't make it too long; when you feel like it's finished, trust it. Make sure it's in the middle, because a waaay too long poem probably won't win XD :]
