The vote up/vote down option

It's something I've never liked.  It shows me  how little my contribution  is valued , and,indeed, how little I am valued as a participant here.

  • Is it so important to see how much your or someone else’s contribution is valued? Our collective contribution is very important because together we build the community, exchange experience,, validate each other, I was surprised in the beginning when I found out I’m not the only “alien” in this world. And this is because of all people’s contribution, also yours. While I understand the need to feel valued, I think the down vote is ok, if someone doesn’t like some post, they have a right to express it. Maybe some sort of “medal” next to the avatar would be an option. 

  • It's very much a bullying related trauma. effect. A stark reminder of being regarded as a lesser, more inferior, person than others.
