Please immediately UPVOTE this discussion - The DOWNVOTE/DISCUSSION DISAPPEARANCE HAS RETURNED

NOTE

To keep this notification visible, please upvote this discussion.


Yesterday (July 5), I commented on two discussions.

Today (July 6) one discussion has 2 downvotes (-2) and the other has one (-1) and both discussions have been removed from the Discussion page.

italki has not fixed this problem.

Click on "My Commented Discussions" and upvote the discussion if you have not already done so.

If everyone upvoted every discussion they read, then perhaps this would stop the negative vote total and the discussions would not be removed.


Here are the two discussions that were downvoted (please upvote):

Note

I have just notified italki Support of the reoccurrence of this problem.

Being on italki has seriously shaken my believe in...humanity and democracy. And naivity. And Hong Kong. And Pingpong.

Italki needs to use emojis insted of up and down votes like Facebook does.

Dan... I agree. However, I have wondered if italki could see the IP of the person doing the downvoting, confirm that they are downvoting multiple discussions by scanning the discussions, and finally blocking the IP. 

Michael C... Where's the smiley face :)... you hurt my feelings :) Thanks for joining the effort. I'm sure you know that I simply wanted to ensure that a few members had the chance to read about the renewed multiple discussion downvoting problem before it was downvoted and disappeared, but then again, I'm sure that you know that I know that you knew that... :)

Italki could simply remove downvoting as an option. If you think something is so bad that it should be removed from the site, people should contact italki's moderators. A further refinement could be to require that the person making the report assign the reason into categories: offensive and inaccurate/misleading,
