In order to foster a positive and productive community, we ask that users refrain from upvoting all of their own posts. The like button and ratings are meant to be a way for users to show appreciation for helpful and insightful contributions from others. I will be downvoting any users who excessively upvote their own posts in order to prevent the manipulation of ratings. We encourage users to engage with the community and contribute their thoughts and ideas, but we ask that they do so in a way that is respectful and considerate of others. We want to inform the community that we have already begun the process of downvoting users who engage in malicious upvoting of their own posts. This behavior goes against the spirit of the Apps4Flip Forums, which is to foster a positive and productive community for meaningful contributions and discussions. We ask that all users refrain from this behavior and instead focus on making helpful and insightful contributions to the community. We will continue to monitor for and address any instances of malicious upvoting to ensure the integrity of the rating system on the Forums. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Seems like the admins here decided to remove the downvoting feature. Hmm... Sorry for trying to help out... Enjoy malicious upvoting Ya'll!! Nobody is stopping you anymore... And yes, a few of you are lucky we didn't downvote you before the downvote got disabled. I hope you feel real guilty about your fake votes.... So long!

[unknown] I would give you two upvotes for that last part if I could...

[unknown] if you read through the first post you'll see that this has nothing to do with @[deleted] So whoever is doing this has no way of removing the ability to upvote your own post...

[unknown] maybe its @[deleted] ?

[unknown] not really so nice to throw out an accusation like that....you sure you wanna go there? [unknown] it was stickied because, although this is not coming from any official @[deleted] , and the tactics arent really the nicest, the overall point is still pretty valid

[Unofficial]New Upvote Button Initiative

Apps4Flip-Ratings-Officer this is very weird, seems like only certain ppl were targeted by this official unofficial confused officer. [Login to see the link] has -1,000 votes, how did that happen? I have -27, not bad maybe there wasn't enough free time for this officer to get it done. By the way if this officer has any extra free time I have allot of things he can do for me, my room hasn't been cleaned in a while, and ill even give him a real official badge for it!

MXRJR

MXRJR great so yesterday i was at -27, last night -271, today -501, Keep It Up!
PS again I'm offering official status badges for the people who find themselves with allot of free time to do nothing better than unofficial things, if mr. officer would like to type my notes from shiur, ill even give him a metal badge for it, whooo that's special.

THE_SOMEONE

thx for telling me gonna run and unvote some of my own votes lol

THE_SOMEONE

but serously this is really not mature to do all this because of some people upvoting their messages. and its very simple to fix it just remove upvoting yourself
(sorry for 3rd edit): also i unvoted my votes a long time ago (i only voted them to test it then unvote it) and it still says i voted them but i didnt you can even see

lgexalter1 It seems to be official from the language of the OP and the fact that it was stickied... Lol

Flippy

Not sure exactly what I am missing here.

What exactly is the method for telling if someone is

Apps4Flip-Ratings-Officer users who excessively upvote their own posts

And how exactly will that

Apps4Flip-Ratings-Officer prevent the manipulation of ratings.

Who is the "WE" here?

Apps4Flip-Ratings-Officer We want to inform the community that we have already begun the process of downvoting users who engage in malicious upvoting of their own posts.

And how will downvoting those posts;

Apps4Flip-Ratings-Officer foster a positive and productive community for meaningful contributions and discussions
?
Also [Login to see the link] is not affiliated with Apps4flip, how will he have meaningful effect on someone's rating.

If my questions come off too dumb and have obvious answers, I may just as well delete this post after, but truthfully, I am a bit confused.

Hi1

Apps4Flip-Ratings-Officer I think it's a pretty great idea a platinum elite member gotta stand for something, when someone see a level 4,5,6 member it should mean that he is a professional, not that he knows how to upvote himself

Hi1

Hi1 to the guy who down voted a lot now my posts,
First of all free speech isn't allowed here?? I just voiced my opinion, and I really don't think that its fair that beacuse you don't like my message you should down vote all my posts and it's really not appropriate for such a great site to fight about this instead of working together to create high value kosher stuff
Secondly if you think that you it bothers me that you down vote it, I am not so good with technology and my goal was never to get a lot of upvotes so I really don't care, it's just not right to do it

Apps4Flip-Ratings-Officer good luck with the new 10 seconds wait

leshemshamayim1

It's funny how this thread has a -3

Hi1

Hi1 now to the guy who upvoted my posts,
I will actually go and down vote it, beacuse I'm honestly not a level 4 member and when some one will ask a question and I'll answer I don't want him to think that I'm a level 4 member, I am new to technology and I don't deserve to be a level 4 member if it will keep on this way it will loose the value,
#keep it honest and grow
