What is it with these people on AN that lurk in the shadows, waiting to pounce with a thumbs down on whatever you post out of pure spite?

 

Are they suffering from something serious, or is it just utter boredom from which they suffer?

 

Eric.

Oh look, it is the house moaner waffling on as usual with more meaningless guff, trying to stir the pot of negativity because he's miserable and never has anything better to do. bob, just go get yourself a fresh ladboy and all your thumbs down woes will be over. You will have all the thumbs filling up your arse that you could ever hope for. Don't forget the reach around, it's the best part. Thank me later.

Usually you can tell who gave the thumbs down, usual losers, so give them some retaliatory thumbs down for good measure

Losers with a capital L.

 

Eric.

Thank goodness for this topic, lest it has not already been done a hundred times.

We should make a competition about it. We could have 'most thumbed-down post' and 'most thumbed-down BM'

 

Maybe give prizes away 😂

are you one of them?

 

Eric.

only moderators can see who gave the thumbs down/up reactions,

normal form users can no longer know who gave what ...precisely because some thin skinned persons complained so much it was decided that no one can know...and some reactions/emojis disappeared...eventually they'll be none left...stop moaning.

 

Thumbs down?  What are those?  Oh!  Do you mean the little emojis that maybe appear at the bottom of a post?  I thought they were just fun little pictures for kindergarten kids......

They lurk in the shadows - no originality, no personality, all they have is a finger and a keyboard....

 

Sad but true.

Yes, I agree, this is an issue for some (most), it's antagonizing and it's stalking. 

 

I thought things had changed recently, with Bacon1's interaction, but nope, it's still out of control again. 

 

Its the rules, abuse, stalking emoji's are not permitted but I feel it's overlooked. 

It's like the forum is ignoring this abuse.

 

I've complained about these stalkers in the past, but sadly it still remains. 

 

 

Anyway, it's clear as the nose on your face this is a HUGE issue amongst our brothers, fellow members. 

 

In the past it was identified who sent emoji's but no more 

 

I'd like to see more of the messages/comments below from those in power. These comments are encouraging, they give us hope, we'd all like to see the abuse reduced 🙏

 

EDIT, how funny, first emoji is a thumbs down, I reckon from a guy with mental illness 😂

You always said 10 a year doesn't make you queer on your cocks-in-frocks obsession. But then again, you always exceed that limit. Now I'm totally confused???

It's like the forum is accepting this abuse.

Of course it’s accepted, a negative emoji of forum rules contradictories, it’s design is to be derogatory, a direct contradiction of what the forum claims itself to be and quite silly frankly.

Now they still moan and complain and they get removed.

The fact that grown men are so sensitive about an emoji is truly a form of mental illness, is it not ? Has to be.

But you think you do ? lol

ha ha I see some 'members'  have given me thumbs down for explaining why the emoji/reactions are now anonymous....as an adult I won't be complaining about them to big brother.

Posters moaning about a thumbs down on there posts.

They must be some real tough guys out there in real world, if that upsets them.
