Agreed. The majority of the playerbase are probably like me, who come on and do whatever. Dil farming, missions, the occassional RA or Event or both. PvP is about as far from what I want to do as the east is from the west. Do I want them to completely get rid of it? No. I just don't want it forced on me while I'm moseying around sector space.
Now a LTS and loving it.
Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything.

and that's assuming Cryptic hired someone who understood what they were doing and didn't view the mere concept with contempt...and it assumes said magical unicorn **** person didn't look at what they've done, submit a resignation immediately, and flee as fast as they could to literally anywhere else in the industry.
They'd probably look like this after taking one look at the code.
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

By the way, this thread seems to be invisible in General Discussion
For some reason it's showing up all the way at the bottom of page 1 in General Discussion for me, despite you having just commented in it. I'm guessing it has something to do with the stupid new downvote system.

That is correct! The more downvotes a thread and the posts inside get, the further down it is buried regardless of how new replies it gets. People are going to a person's profile and downvoting their entire post history to basically sink anyting poisted by certain users as well. This whole system is broken!

If true that goes way beyond trolling. Anyone doing such should recieve at least a temporary forum ban.
I'm not seeing any reports generated off of any of these "reactions". The only thing I've noticed is that down voting is "sinking" threads, a power that only mods had before. Effectively driving a thread to the bottom even if it remains active. This is problematic for mods because, now, we have to hunt for active threads rather than them "rising" to the top.
Others are already finding that certain people are going out of their way to go to a users profile and downvote their entire post history. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any abuse policy or notification for this type of behavior.

The following post by a moderator can be found over in the Trying Out Reactions thread.
