Downvote button

There's the Upvote but there's no Downvote buttons.

Why?

IMO, it's very useful in gauging the value and relevance of forum replies.

Instead there's the "confused" button which is limited in its usability.

It's not used much around here.

This is intentional. Everywhere I’ve seen that has downvotes is much more of a cesspool than without.
Our positive, supportive and helpful community is what sets us apart and we militantly protect the sanctity of these values. 
 

If you click the Leaderboard tab, you can find popular and relevant posts and we also routinely “Recommend” all star posts in threads that then show up at the top of threads. Also, for posts asking for answers, we encourage the use of the solved button to more easily find relevant content. 
 

Thanks for the feedback. Does that make sense and/or resonate?
