I don't downvote much, but I definitely do when someone replies to an, "I'm back" post with, "LoL WhO tF r U?"

Don't be an asshole.

But on the other hand, why do people post stuff like that? Just use the site, no need to brag about it, jeez.

so do you downvote a rant when you vehemently disagree? Is that a valid reason? I suppose everyone has a slightly different downvoting ethic.. Like, I never downvote.
If you disagree write a dissenting comment, if you like ++ it, if you don't like don't bother.. downvote for outrage? Is my ethic

Then again I wouldn't write an "I'm back" type post unless I was rly popular within a community. Like a much beloved MMORPG world admin or forum mod returning.Then again maybe you are?

I wouldn't take offense for/ bother with that comment, but even if I did, I wouldn't expose them, dunno it's just not worth it.

I think you didn't get the joke, The Joke was that OPs username is "back" and he said "I'm back" since it's a joke, that reply is not offensive to anyone.

Just be excellent to one another

@theabbie

Pretty sure this post predates that one. In any case I wrote this before I saw that one.

@webketje

Who said anything about disagreement? I said I downvote people who troll returning users when returning users announce their return.

@bahua I couldn't find "LOL, who tf are you?" comment on previous one, if someone says I'm back, anyone will be curious who they are, it's perfectly fine to ask like that.

@electrineer FYI :p

@maddy97 chicken and egg

@maddy97 I only read the conversation here now. Oh god, what did I create.

@bahua yes I got that. "So do you downvote when you vehemently disagree" was just me inquiring about your downvoting ethic out of curiosity

@webketje

The answer to that question, of course, is no.

@electrineer haha ikr
