How come people who want a high signal to noise ratio, downmod a short, helpful comment which lets someone know not write "thanks" 6 times? In other words, I was asking someone to improve the signal to noise ratio.

As far as getting downmodded for my additional comments, I expected that and don't mind. I have read the rules. BTW, I do think people here are far too inclined to downmod stuff they dislike without refuting it.



Or, if you don't like it, let it stay at 0 or -1. No need to keep going beyond that for anything but blatant trolls.


I upmodded every post in your comments history.

<3 downmodders.


lol. did you read them?
