Downvoted threads should climb up the main page in the same way upvoted ones do.

For one, i believe that having a "bad" opinion that everyone disagrees with should be similarly acknowledged as the "right" opinion. Let people see that "bad" opinion and let them decide if they also consider it as one. Ability to sort threads by the amount of comments would also work. Make it easier for us to see what threads are filled with people who engage in a discussion. Even if that discussion boils down to two people calling each other names, it's still an interaction between people and that's never a bad thing.

Or how about remove this wanna-be reddit system and bring back old forum-type system where people actually have to contribute somehting to the thread to bring it to the front page via bumping. And actual discussion points would have more responses/discussions resulting in them being at the top. Whereas stupid "fearmongering" circlejerk posts would die out.

Votes aren't generally used to express agreement, they're used to express whether a post is quality or not.

Threads with unpopular opinions frequently get upvotes if they're good quality posts with evidence or analysis.

(I didn't downvote you by the way someone else did even though youre comment had nothing wasteful / counterproductive in it)

But the votes really are used to express agreement and disagreement, I have seen multiple times where individuals are downvoted to oblivion for not agreeing with an agenda. (This is very unfortunately true)

A recent instance was where someone posted a thread stating that the new patch is horrible, and one individual commented how based on their experience, the game seemed alittle bit better. Now that comment is below threshold.

Its like nobody wants to accept the fact that there are differing opinions and people out there are enjoying the changes.
