How do you know who's given you the "thumbs up/down"?

Question

I'm still stumbling around the website.  I hadn't seen this question covered unless I've missed it, so I'm asking.

Answer 1

You gotta assume.

When I get a thumbs down I always assume that it's Ancient Hippy paying me back for all the times I've rattled his chain ... and for all the times I've said complimentary things about his ex. >:-/

Answer 2

So...If I start giving you thumb downs Ancient Hippy gets the blame?   ;*)

Answer 3

You've got it, Bruno! He has broad shoulders. He can take it.

Answer 4

I wouldn't do that to YOU though...I know how hard it is trying to beat Steven out of his top position in order to get that  [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°̲̅)̲̅$̲̅]  PRIZE.   LOL

Answer 5

I've never given a thumbs down and never even considered it............until now Didge. I'll call your wife and tell her to draw a target on your hump.

Answer 6

Me neither, Hippy. We certainly had some donnybrooks on Ask back in the red thumb days. One Christian lady declared that she red-thumbed every answer I gave without even bothering to read them. I didn't mind.

Answer 7

By the time I started using Ask, the thumbs down had already gone away.

Answer 8

Yeah just guessing.

Answer 9

You don't.

Answer 10

Ha.......interesting.  I sort of thought so, but thought it was one more thing I'd missed.

Answer 11

This site is very new...only about three weeks old.
Dan is doing a great job making all the adjustments needed to make this site work the way everybody wants it to work.   ;*)

Answer 12

I never said he wasn't. I answered the question asked without adding extraneous info.

Answer 13

There is presently no way to know...If that's a problem and enough people 'complain' about it...then it seems as though Dan would try to change it.

He's doing a great job making this site work the way that most everybody wants it to.

Answer 14

Good question that I've thought of but didn't ask, I don't think we know.

It would be nice to know, but only if it's not too much trouble... it's not extremely important but it would be nice to know who might be agreeing with you with an up vote or down vote so you could talk with that person about the subject (or completely avoid that subject with the person) depending on how they vote, etc.

Answer 15

Example, the system just informed me I've gotten a down vote on opinion above and I don't know who it came from... so I don't know if I upset someone, it's a jerk that I would ignore or it's a playful person or friend just joking around with me...

Also why does the system inform you, that you got a down vote?!?
I don't want negative news, if I wanted that I'd live in the real world, the internet is suppose to be all good vibes JK :P :)

Answer 16

It might have been an accident, as the "up" and "down" symbols are very close to each other.

Answer 17

Na, I'm guessing it was somebody messing with me, as a joke,

Because the nature of the question makes it a good one to mess with someone on.
But you're right it could of been a mistake,

Answer 18

I miss seeing who is Voting for me , don't care about DV's unless they have a Genuine Grievance.

I think on every Site I have been on , I can see who UP VOTED me and that's Nice because I know they appreciate my Input.

Dan PLEASE change this for us  so we can recognize our Followers.

Answer 19

I totally agree with you on this. It would be nice to know. I don't want to know who down voted me though. That can cause too many problems and retaliations.

Answer 20

I agree, I miss seeing who up voted us.

Answer 21

Who is gonna dv you Hippy , you got nothing but friends on here

Answer 22

Me to Zolfie

Answer 23

I received a down vote last week.

Answer 24

So did I Hippy  , only one and so did a few of my friends
think Dan or our friends were testing out the dv feature tbh

Answer 25

I'll give you down votes on your next 10 answers, that way we can see if it's working correctly. ...................just kidding.

Answer 26

hahaha    you can go off People fast ya know   XD

Answer 27

I'm just an old hippie. Make love, not war.

Answer 29

Cool, I like that. I saved it for future use.

Answer 30

In my case it will be the same lame assholes from Amirite.

Answer 31

And here's one now!

Answer 32

Except for a few anonymous people she is very popular ....

Answer 33

Thank you Platinum. :)

Answer 34

Me too - feeling like a beginner, but progressing slowly, step by step.

Several users asked about knowing who is upvoting them; I think that Dan will help.

Answer 35

It's not that I'm in a hurry.  I'm sure Dan is working away at perfecting everything, but it takes time and he's off to a good start.
In the meantime, I think I merely asked the question no one else had asked yet perhaps.  No biggy.

Answer 36

Me neither; I am slowed down anyway ...

Answer 37

Lol - as far as I know, Dan is settling the matter.
