poll Downvoting should be removed

[Chieff]

I have suggestion that downvoting should be removed from forum

Downvoting facilitate mob mentality

Don't know why community like namepros still have it

Reasons:

1. It stops ppl from sharing different opinions
2. People don't want to see difference in opinion use downvote as a tool to pull down

@Alop, YT is a essentially a platform for videos whereas NP is a discussion forum.
Within these two places function and effect of downvoting are very different.

I’ll agree

Hi @Paperhand

read some of the reviews in Trustpilot.

The first problem consists in that PP block your account if their algorithms recognize a transaction as suspicious, and apparently it's getting increasingly easy to trigger those algorithms.
Btw, PP don't block that transaction, they block the whole account.

And afterwards, it gets basically impossible to de-block the account through their customer service.

PP reserves the right to keep the funds for 6 months, and even afterwards to keep part of the funds.
You can find a lot of reports on the internet.

They justify themselves arguing that it's foreseen in their Terms of Service, which you agreed upon when opening an account.

So if your PP account gets blocked, the funds that you hold at e.g. Namecheap, you can't take them out.
If you sell domains on Namecheap marketplace, those proceeds, you can't take them out.

Well, you can take them out of Namecheap, but only to funnel and deposit them in your blocked PP account, so that you are left with no idea about if and when you'll be able to dispose of those funds again.

Just in order to show how anonymous downvoting works

I wrote yesterday this post.
I went to sleep with an impact score of 288.
This morning it's 270.
Its overall voting balance is unchanged, +14

Downvoters "disagreed" with this post by chasing backwards my posting history and downvoting past posts of mine
