  • MODERATOR NOTE: When upvoting/downvoting posts, you are saying "I want to see more posts like this" or "I want to see less posts like this".

    NOT

    "This post makes me feel happy" and "This post makes me feel sad"

    Or, to put it more simply,

    PLEASE DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER

    You are not voting on the CONTENT ITSELF, but rather the type of post.

    Or no one will want to post "bad news" or controversial articles/posts on CathInfo, out of fear for their reputation score!

    If I see someone get "crucified" for posting something like an Eleison Comments (which is historically VERY popular, and usually nets you some good upvotes) I will personally go in and remove the downvotes, and give them a little extra Rep points to restore justice.

    Thank you.
