My sign shop has suffered so much from sensless downvoting. There are more downvotes than customers, and all my custoomers so far have told me that they are happy with my service.
I sign.
Also, I'd like to point out that threads should not be downvoted for layout. Not all of us can do coding very well, and to hire a service to code can be very expensive.

Same issue I STILL have with the Art Shop I'm running.
It's stupid and useless and the whole system
just needs to be taken down.

Hey, I recognise your username...
I think it was in somebody's signature. You being a sandwich-maker or something. neutral
I may be wrong, though. In the likely case I am, sorry. XDD
My sign shop pretty much died. I don't even bother, because the number of downvotes just turns people off.

My husband's.
Saying I'm his sandwich maker since our anniversary. Heh.
But yeah. And I just checked and they've gotten to EVERYTHING
of mine: My roleplay, my artshop, one of the gameshow's I'm in,
and just now, my 1x1 rp was attacked.

[Pineananas]

I run a joint art shop with Duodecillion and lately I've been receiving a huge flood of downvotes for no reason whatsoever. All my customers have enjoyed the art I've done for them, and I don't like the idea that my art shop should have so many negative votes just because people like to troll other's pages. I don't want people to see that I don't have a very good vote score and decide not to hire me sad I think disabling the thread votes would be really nice.

I, Pineananas, sign this petition.

Now THAT isn't fair.
It's 1x1. They shouldn't be coming in in the first place.

[Mister Awesume]

I'll sign this too. And I recon that the best option is just to remove the "</3" part of the voting system, so that threads can still gain popularity, but are free from this form of trolling as well.

[Sulien]

I'll sign as well, i think the </3 is just plain stupid.

i sign
but my suggestion should be like a item review thing where you can choose to disable or enable on your own.
people can right good and bad reviews in wich the thread owner can remove the indivual review along with the negative rating. if you are an honest thread owner you will not remove the bad reviews as long as they are not spam
but in order to give a rating you have to right something in the review part. if you right spam or just something completely stupid the thread owner can remove you and your negative and pointless review

There Is No Way Of Getting Rid Of Trolls.

My biggest problem with the voting system was with my graphics shops. I would get voted down by competition shops. I would like where only costumers could vote, based on service.
