This is a test of the downvote system. Please down vote this post.

I'm one.

So it looks like it takes 3 to hide a post. 

And it is hidden for me as well. 

So the shiny happy person that has almost every post hidden in a thread at least knows he's an shiny happy person. 

Thank You for your assistance.

A slight correction, it takes net 3 downvotes to hide a post. If something has 20 upvotes and 6 downvotes, it will show +14 and it won't be hidden.

In reply to mtn :

Correct. I should have said -3 to hide a post. 

Now I'm curious if a hidden post can be unhidden by upvotes. 

In reply to Toyman! :

Yes, it can.

You guys are using this information for good and not evil, like so you can help mod the board if we get clobbered by Ian and can't, right?

Absolutely. We'll keep all the little ducks in a row.

While I really don't need another full time Admin or Mod Job, I would be perfectly willing to zap spammers in an emergency situation.

I've never been the mod of any board that had more than 10 users. I would totally abuse all that power.

You'd like to think that, wouldn't you.

We are not to be trusted. In fact, I only came to this thread so I could upvote the OP.

The acquisition of downvotes should be viewed as a badge of honor.  As a diverse nation, we must embrace viewpoints which differ, sometimes drastically, from our own.  What a dreadful place this would be if we all felt the same way about everything.

ditto. And I banned myself to see if it could be done. It could.

There's havingg a difference of belief and then there's shoving it down peoples throats. Not to mention the goalpost movement, the made up "facts" and the inability to reason or accept new data.

Not all. Maybe I've been lucky/blessed/whatever that I have had the pleasure to meet and befriend quite a few people that do not fit that mold. It makes me guardedly optimistic that there's more than there appears and maybe humankind isn't as fubar'd as we thought

That's what I like about France ,  they can often go the opposite direction of  what other people think is correct , Freedom fries for all !

Question, if we find canoes do we just down vote them until further notice?
