They may have a good point but because they say something that may be interpreted as rude, they get downvoted. This is wrong.
If you silence your enemy and take away their speaking privileges and right to have their opinions seen, eventually, you will have them taken away too.
I don't think most people downvote purely based on if someone is rude.
I think that it just so happens that most rude people have terrible ideas.
I've seen two separate posts with the same message have opposite votes. One guy will say stop feeding and get 100 upvotes, another will say stop feeding and get 100 downvotes. It has to do with A) The people currently online: Some players get on in the early morning, afternoon, late afternoon, and early evening and they can have different personality types based on their sleeping patterns. B) How you present your message: "Fuck noob feeders I deserve plat" is different than "Feeding has become a problem in League and I'd like to talk about preventative measures we can implement to deter it." C) More evidence: If you provide more evidence to support your claim, people are likely to enjoy reading it. "Nerf yasuo opop" is different from "Is Yasuo balanced, and why do you think he is or isn't?" D) Topic of discussion: Is your topic a one-sided poll that says Either you "agree" or you're "a snowflake dumb ass"? Make sure to keep bias out of your polls and discussions to allow readers to not feel as if they are being told how to feel about a topic.
How is a downvote silencing them? You're saying we shouldn't dissent.
You don't get to tell me who I can downvote or why I can downvote them, thanks for trying.
We're not censoring you by down voting. People do that all the time for various reasons. But when you have a genuinely terrible idea, I think it's down voted much much more.
Personally, I down vote people who lie about the IFS or say things that are deliberately toxic or off topic.
here, have a down vote.
What does it mean?
NOTHING.
I downvote because I disagree.

As you get downvoted into oblivion so all these people can feel like they accomplished something. "We just showed him, what do you think of THAT!?"
lol you can get tons of downvotes if you dont agree with the circle jerk hate and argue anything in defense of it....
trust me I KNOW
