Why do OK posts always get voted down?

[iBlue]

BS. Look back at some old threads. Users with negative ratings of well beyond 50 are still around today....)

Did anyone hear that? Kind of a wooshing sound. Like wind on a windy day.


It's a joke! If the 42 didn't give away a massive cultural reference the sheer silliness of the comment should have, if not the invisible text which anyone would/should have seen when quoted. DERP DERP DERP, newbies!

Not sure about that

Looks like he hit -42.

I just noticed that too, quite a coincidence

Aww that's a shame.

Still I wonder who the next nutter will be.

Not true because I have had well over 200 negatives from the dregs of MR.

Wow. Really? Are you bucking for Q Jr??

come on you have that wrong. The rapid fanboys know the first version of the brick would suck. The 2nd version of said brick would have have most of the brick features that should of been there at launch and then the third version of the iBrick would be perfect.
Come on you have been around here to know version 1 sucks. Even the rabid fanboys know that.

Yeah, but we both know there are certain posters around who think Apple can do absolutely no wrong. And the first version sucking won't stop 'em from buying them.


And griping about it here.

Macrumors has an abnormally large number of people with nothing better then to vote down posts because they don't share the same beliefs.

I could have corrected your grammar in that comment, but instead I voted you down.

"than"

I wonder why the OP is banned. Looked in his post history and didn't see anything egregious. D'oh! Must have hit that -42!

Sad MacintoshMaster is banned. We will never forget "Are you a vegan?" and "Does choosing a solid colour desktop background make the computer faster"

LOL how'd he get banned?

Was he caught eating a steak? Banned for caught lying about his vegan status?

Almost every time I see a thread, loads of OK posts get voted down

eg

https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1267337/

Why?

The only thing I see is the ability to give a post stars and I did not see any stars assigned to the thread you linked. What am I missing?

Nevermind, I see it now. I guess I don't concern myself with such things. Maybe I should go back and review all of my posts...

It wasn't me. I didn't even know what this was all about. Finally noticed the arrows. Never used 'em, probably never will.
