You are aware it was removed before, right? Disastrous results.

It’s a shame that for all the great things this site has going for it, it has chosen to play into the hands of antagonism.
@SeafoamSelene
on the technical side I can tell you that there is no such ability for you to look at the things other users downvoted. You can only look at your own downvotes, and only if you type in a specific query to look at them.
Downvotes exist because a good deal of fandom content isn’t “art” and is just memes and edits, which don’t violate any rules, but are often… not all that worthy of attention. This site’s predecessor had downvotes as a way for some users (the ones who could actually load a page in under two minutes) to moderate the worth of such content given the lack of moderation, and the concept of “users moderating bad memes” was carried over here.An attempt was made 3-4 years ago to replace downvotes with personal image hiding; the results were a boatload of pants shat over freedom of speech or whatever and the volunteers running this place just didn’t want to deal with all the screaming and whining and insults. Given ~recent events~ I very much doubt that those in the decision making chairs will want to try any changes with the potential to have more shitty-pissies.As a side note, don’t use money or donations, either giving or withholding, as a tool to institute change. I can assure you that it will not only not work.

Trolling artists (or anyone, really) is against Rule #0 and is a bannable offense that we harshly punish.If seeing downvote count on your images hurts your feelings, we have a setting to hide it:
