raves +24  

Raves -- "thumbs up", "thumbs down" -- would you like to see both on your dashboard?

There are several polls relating to down raves -- should they be anonymous, are they relevant, do we care...
We can see how many up raves we have received, from whom, and for what, on our dashboard.
I would like to see down raves I have received, from whom, and for what, on my dashboard.
(Not for retribution, but because there may be cause for rethinking my comment, for further comment, or for further discussion.)

Would you appreciate having down raves on your dashboard?

raves +9   by Lady O (...)

Answered No, I don't want to see down raves on my dashboard.

Voting here only because there is no "Other" option.
Seeing DR's can be a source of aggravation. If you don't know who did it or even have the ability to figure it out as we did before the September format change, there is no real purpose.
Mass downravers usually have no rhyme, reason or purpose, except to vent their anger.
As many of us have opined previously, abolishing anonymous downraving would cut way down on the petty vindictiveness. However, I think SH management may keep it this way to keep red thumbs from escalating into a bloody battlefield.

    Answered Yes, I would like to see down raves on my dashboard.

    yea, it would be nice to know you put the downer on you.

    I think so, too, but apparently it will never happen...
  • raves +2   [-] by Dropped_Shopper

    Answered Yes, I would like to see down raves on my dashboard.

    I'm curious to see which users abuse the down-rave function.
  • raves     [-] highdesertgemini replied to Dropped_Shopper
    I'd like to know that, too -- other than on polls whining about DRs...
  • raves     [-] Dropped_Shopper replied to highdesertgemini
    Actually, I've heard stories about down-rave wars back when you could see which user was behind the down-rave (before I joined SH). I wouldn't want that to happen to our community, so perhaps it's best that down-raves are kept private.
  • raves +1   [-] highdesertgemini replied to Dropped_Shopper
    There are still DR wars and block wars... Some of us just seem to have to stir up trouble!
  • raves +1   [-] by Butterfly

    Answered I don't care about down raves one way or the other.

    I really would like to see my raves period. I get happenings for raves, but my rave 'counter' doesn't keep track of them... It still says '0' and I know I have atleast 30! Help...
  • raves +1   [-] by Foo Master doesn't like Change

    Answered Yes, I would like to see down raves on my dashboard.

    And WHO downraved, too!
  • raves +1   [-] highdesertgemini replied to Foo Master doesn't like Change
    Yeah, I think it's pretty chicken to DR (UR, too, actually) anonymously, especially now that they have the reasons and the limits, but apparently that isn't a very popular opinion! I figure if you aren't man enough to own up to the DR...

    Answered Yes, I would like to see down raves on my dashboard.

    Those are my badges of honor bestowed upon me by the bigoted losers in the political polls, i know i'm closing in on 17k upraves, but i'm also sure i'm closing in on 20k badges of honor and i would like to see them in my panel...



    don't really care too much who they are from though... most people can already tell who the type of person is who would give them without reason...

    [edit: that should read "without a "valid" reason other than disagreeing with my chosen candidate or view on the issue"]
  • raves +1   [-] highdesertgemini replied to Bill - McGee/??? - 2012
    I love that! A whole other reason for wanting to see them! Thank you so much! And, good luck in continuing to earn badges!

    (Possibly political polls should remain anonymous...)
  • raves     [-] Bill - McGee/??? - 2012 replied to highdesertgemini
    Thank you

    I have no doubt!

    Yes. I probably have alot of them by now.

    Maybe ignorance is bliss, but I'd like to know how many I have, too! Thanks for the comment!

    I like the color red better than yellow

    A truly different response! Thanks for the comments!

    Answered Yes, I would like to see down raves on my dashboard.

    i would like people to see how much nicer and funnier i am than disliking
  • raves     [-] highdesertgemini replied to MegLovesJonas
    I'm sure people do see those things about you! Thanks for the comment!

  • raves +1   [-] by Artillery12

    Answered No, I don't want to see down raves on my dashboard.

    This is why, because a lot of the time when someone checks
    their raves and sees who gave them a down rave. they might attack
    that person.
  • raves     [-] highdesertgemini replied to Artillery12
    That seems to happen now, and then they start blocking one another... Thanks for the comment!

    it's only fare
  • raves     [-] highdesertgemini replied to concerned
    I agree. Thanks for the comment!
  • raves +1   [-] by pet713-forLiberty

    Answered No, I don't want to see down raves on my dashboard.

    Because I can always find them. But they are not disclosed, anyway. So what does it matter. Someone doesn't like your opinions. Who cares? Unless they are leaving a comment and if I agree or disagree, I like to be polite and answer their comment.

    But I don't care who gives me the dumbs down. I not in a competition, just expressing a thought.
  • raves +1   [-] highdesertgemini replied to pet713-forLiberty
    I don't "care", either, but I would appreciate the information -- especially since they are supposed to be given for content rather than for disagreement. Thanks for the comments!
  • raves     [-] pet713-forLiberty replied to highdesertgemini
    Yes, this is very true. The raves or nays should be given for content. But then we all know, that people that give you the DR give it to you because they don't like what you have to say. That's just the way they are.

    This is all just for fun, or should be and to get to know new people of like mind. Me, I just try to like everyone and see good in everyone, even if they don't like or agree with me. LOL

    Love your Orangs!
  • raves     [-] highdesertgemini replied to pet713-forLiberty
    Thanks!

    Answered I don't care about down raves one way or the other.

    They don't matter, I just ignore them.
  • raves +1   [-] highdesertgemini replied to jrtmanmd (2012)
    As do I, but that's because I don't see them... Thanks for the comment!

    Answered Yes, I would like to see down raves on my dashboard.

    I would like to see the downraves on my dashboard. I would like them to be included in the raves...where it takes us to the down rave.
  • raves +1   [-] highdesertgemini replied to Mantlemom
    I was just wanting a number on my dashboard, but actually getting notification for both kinds of raves would be good, too! Thanks for the comment!
