Quoted from Nintegageo:
Yes and no. I honestly thought this would be a hilarious thread. People took it way more seriously than I thought they would though. The idea of a shaming thread is ridiculous, obviously. I do wish the ratings were better moderated, but ya.. didn't think there'd be so many asshats. Oh well, the thread kinda did end up being hilarious ^_^ just not how I planned.

How to get downvoted:

1. Post while admittedly high and ask for a thread calling out people for downvoting.
2. Say that the Top 100 has biased ratings (which it does) while at the same time having a personal rating of Pinball Magic that would make it #1 of all time and admit in the rating you are biased because you own it.
3. Call those who see the flaws in your logic and point it out asshats.

Whee! Gotta love Pinside!!

Lol what is people's obsession with Pinball Magic? The game is awesome! And you know what it has? A great theme!

I have already stated my issue is the people who are hate-rating a game. There is no bias in their rating because they aren't given an honest review. There's understandable bias and then there's giving a game a crap review because you want it rated lower on the T100.

Ok here’s the thing. People hate rate a game because they feel like they have to counteract the people who are rating it way too high. You know, like rating Pinball Magic as the best game in history. That kind of rating.

The bottom line is EVERY game has people who rate it too high and people who rate it too low. So, it kinda all evens out.

I love how pettiness annoys you but then you want to shame someone for their opinion.
This society and its inability to deal with anything that upsets them is just.....wow.

Yet this guy blocked me lol. He should look in the mirror.

If you get so upset at a forum post you block them, its pretty sad. A downvote is just an contrary opinion, without always having to say why you disagree.

Quoted from rx3:
Downvotes are basically for internet cowards and Karens. That's how I see it. And yes, I know I'm going to get down voted. Have at it.

Apparently it'd actually for everybody.

They got rid of this feature (which was fine with me) and the natives almost rioted. It was quickly brought back.
