@EmmahSue Since it's impossible to enforce, the reality is that up/down voting is like/dislike. It's like Plebbit, but written in NodeJS.

RE: Upvote vs Downvote Question
@Glitch I can't see who downvoted you by hovering. I think this is a feature, and not a bug, to protect the privacy of naysayers. It's about keeping the environment as non-toxic as possible, which is a farcical goal in the WoD online "community."

RE: Upvote vs Downvote Question
@EmmahSue That just kind of makes the reputation system an echo chamber. If you and your clique think someone is a shithead, you can just downvote everything they post so that their opinion matters less in the system. It's basically a hardcoded version of everything wrong with MU*s/Chats.

RE: Upvote vs Downvote Question
@Glitch Oh I know they weren't concerned with MU*s/WoD, I'm just stating their likely reasoning and of course why it simply doesn't apply to us.
Turning off reputation may or may not be a good approach. It does amount to a popularity contest on a forum where everybody recognizes the other's usernames, and will up/downvote them whenever a post is made.
