The obvious is someone who posts something you disagree with, you have the opportunity to tell them so.  On this forum, it has always been pertaining to basketball.

 

The down votes went towards the idiots, trolls and Husker haters that came on this board.  Not so much anymore.  We now have people that don't want to focus on 

basketball, but would rather down vote any social issue they disagree with.  Shame on you.  Get your focus back on the Huskers.  

 

I'm really disappointed the Chris Beard thread disappeared.  Norm deserves an apology.  I'm assuming this thread won't see the light of day.

 

Once again, Go Big Red!

I found the thread, it's just been relocated to the dark corners of the college basketball forum.

 

And in a world that is super divisive and quick to cancel, if you think a random group of mostly strangers will agree to the proper use of a down vote, then you are more optimistic than me 😃

The non-Nebraska basketball thread you're asking about currently resides in the college basketball section.

As far as the feedback system goes, there are no hard set rules for reactions though one can infer that a downvote is negative and an upvote, heart, and/or thanks are positive.  The confused and sad reactions are considered neutral. My personal use of a downvote is to respond to a post that I find is a combination of unnecessary/poor taste/detrimental where responding will infer that I actually want to have a conversation about said post.

Yet the soccer thread remains in the Husker Basketball forum...which is fine...but it seems a bit "strange."  🤔 

Hey, I do not envy your responsibility and the time it takes.  I appreciate your efforts.

Norm deserves an apology? For what? Because he got three down votes in the last two pages of a thread (hardly the "slew" you called it)? Or because your feelings got hurt when you mistakenly thought the thread got deleted?

 

And the guy who made a trans joke that used a person's dead name says we need to get our "focus back on the Huskers" and not on social issues. That's rich. You're mad at people for down voting "any social issue they disagree with" and not "focus(ing) on basketball,"  but where's the anger at the initial posts about social issues that engendered the votes? Those aren't focused on basketball, and they came before any votes were cast (either up, down, or otherwise). It seems more likely that you aren't mad that people aren't sticking to basketball, but that they're expressing non-support of social ideas you (and/or Norm, apparently) do support (i.e. the idea of not wanting to hire a basketball coach accused of domestic assault).

 

Because you are weirdly concerned about why people get down votes, I'll save you some confusion: I hit you with one on the trans joke post (that had nothing to do with Husker basketball and everything to do with a social issue) not because I think you are an "idiot, troll, or a Husker hater"; it was because I found it to be a shitty joke done in poor taste.

I apologize to Matt for thinking Norm's thread got deleted.  I should have checked the other forums before I made my post. I said Norm deserved an apology because I thought his thread was deleted.  I have no idea what Norm's political views are.

I had no idea you down voted me when I started this thread.  I don't check my responds.

I truly don't care what you think.  Comedians won't perform at colleges anymore.  Wonder why?

I down voted you for this because I don’t believe you.

Things were so much better under Tim when we had bubble threads at this time of the year vs these threads.

 

*Ducks*

 

😅

Yeah, no kidding!  Apparently, someone has a finger on the down vote button.  Incoming....

I won't down vote you because you're lame.  I'm sure everyone one this board will ignore you because you are.

Like most things in life this calls for a Slap Shot reference. When you get a Down Vote “you go to the Box & you feel Shame”…

 

Slap Shot references are auto-likes. If only everyone would include these in every post, I could happily like everything and there would be peace in husker valley.

I'll take the apology, one of those expensive beers, and two hotdogs, please.
