Why bother
 

I don't understand why some people just want to vote down someone's ratings. I just 5 in a row. I didn't take the pictures I put them there for people to enjoy. There is some real Garbage on here every day, why hurt someone's ratings grow up...

You will have to live with the fact that some people "like" to vote down someone's pictures. Everyone who uploads pictures at this site gets some down votes ... so you are not the only one !!!

I agree, I followed a person that gave me 5 five in a row and left a message. Some just do it for the spite of it. Some may not know that it decreases the points so I give them the benefit of the doubt. By the way thanks for all the upvotes...

Completely agree with you!

Don't take it personally....
Voting a pic down means no more than it doesn't do anything for the person voting down.
1-5, it's definitely no big deal....but 5 and up, then the pics might not be hitting a popular vein for the site.

Thanks for all the upvotes as well :) If I am not mistaken : A few years ago it was possible for a non-member to up- or downvote a picture. So they could this anonymously. But I think that this isn't possible anymore.

At over twenty five years of being an exhibitionist and putting myself out on the www, I realize that I’m not everyone’s cup of tea. That’s fine, just swipe on past, but there’s no need to leave a shitty comment!!!

Correct, anonymous users can not upvote or downvote without being a member.

Would you think there is a better algorithm for upvotes/downvotes? if so you are more then welcome to put your ideas here.

It should be mandatory to have either a post or album Before being able to vote, the person that gave me 5 in a row simply didn't like the person, a highly recognized playboy playmate go figure...

agreed sad they feel the need to be neg instead of just going to what they are after

[I'm probably taking this waaaay too seriously though....]
 

(I'm just saying) If someone is just downvoting an occasional picture, they're probably just saying it's just not what revs their motor. AIrbrushed models don't really do it for me....everyone's different.

But.....but if someone slams you with 20 downvotes in a row (it's happened to me), that's probably them having a beef and just being a jerk about it. If I downvote, it's usually about the repeated posting of a brazilian prostitute or "exposed webslut" or a really, really bad photoshop....and I'll try to make a comment explaining the down vote ("Post all the pics and move on...").

I also will visit a downvoter's albums and upvote some (many) of their pictures...a show of goodwill, maybe. And if it is a 'jerk', I'll out them in the comments ("Have to wonder why _________ would down vote this....?"). I don't advocate that because sometimes, it just pisses the downvoter.

Bottom line: It's all about having fun and feeling good here. Some of us get off on the pics.....some get off complaining about pics....and some get off on repeatedly posting pics...

Agreed! if you can't say anything nice, why bother saying anything at all!

I prefer to go by the old saying: ‘If you can’t think of anything nice to say, don’t say anything’…
