Becuz i want to be cool like every 1 else in this horrible forum i want to be like so cool like really cool where everyone downvotes a post for the hell of it cuz they're cool i wish to join this cool group of cool children

How the hell do you become "right" in the eyes of everyone? If I'd make a thread right now about how I believe Ashe is frustrating to play against, I'd get told to L2P and get my thread shut down within half an hour.

i downvote when i read a post and the first thing in my head is "oh god, just shut up"

1]I downvote spam
2]I downvote stupid things that have +s (i.e.) Master Yi is so OP (has a +1), so I'll give it a minus(-1) and it becomes 0. If it's already at 0 I move on, but post like that shouldn't be encouraged or acknowledged so it's better off if they stay at +0.
3]I upvote when a post with legitimate points was negged
4]I upvote new & original content (LOL!)

I don't up or downvote to agree or disagree, it's a pointless system. I use it to curb abuse.

stupidity.

I'm liking the results so far

Usually for the second and third reason. For that reason, I didn't vote. :[
