/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

I seriously don’t understand some people’s logic downvoting for no reason on a site where votes are public.

I was just scrolling and haven't followed the thread so please be aware that I'm responding in isolation, out of context to whatever situation you're referring to.

Sometimes I'll disagree with a part or most of a comment that someone made, however I'll also recognize that my opinion on it doesn't align with what the echo chamber thinks. Perhaps I'll just respond anyway, but often I don't want to deal with the expected dogpile and personal comments which I find emotionally taxing, so I'll just downvote instead. In those cases it might appear I'm downvoting for no reason, but there are definitely reasons.

I'm not complaining about downvotes in general. I dislike people who downvote people who mention downvoting (like the two I call out in the above comment) and people who downvote every comment in a thread just because their own comment was downvoted (like bigtyme who i've noticed a bunch of times downvoting entire threads just because someone downvoted him).

Neither of those things are conducive to a social web with a small population.

It is imo much more disturbing to see people publicly call out their downvoters and provoke a witch hunt. If any, that behaviour is antisocial and most definitely downvote-worthy.

I downvote people I disagree with and upvote people I agree with. I don't even check if people downvote me because I don't give a shit. My comment has 13 upvotes, I don't even give a shit to check the ratio because I'm just going to assume only 13 people read the comment and bothered to upvote it.

You're acting like a child. Drawing a false conclusion, stalking me apparently, and whining about something that will be forgotten in a day. I've also upvoted people, but I guess you're a bad stalker. FYI I downvoted your little baby rant.

Fucking pathetic.

Ah okay that makes sense then. I'd seen some comments from other people on here about not downvoting as a dislike button, and I thought that's what you were saying as well, but it wasn't.
