Does the NI Forum Community Culture need a change?

@PoorFellow, don't get upset :-) Those up-votes was part of the Traktor "Ideas" section, where people upvoting ideas for the next versions, that's why you see that big rise. Unfortunately, the ideas upvoting can not be separated from the general upvoting. It looks like a big injustice but it will be fixed.

Admins have been notified and are aware of this. Give them some time.

The idea i proposed was to bring back the likes (which will give the user a point, as before), while on the same time, keep the vote-ups/downs as well, but without points.

Do not worry about this one too.

Old posts does not mean dead posts... they always come back at some point. I also noticed few down-votes on older comments, in fact one of them was completely illogical, since i was just explain the differences between VST3 and VST2.

I discussed it with the mods and they also found it weird... The only reason we found is that there are still users that have the idiotic belief that there is some kind of "Steinberg conspiracy" to force VST3 on us! Even if VST3 is by far superior, even if it is more than 10 years old already. Total ignorance, but what you can do? It seems that we do have "flat earthers" in the music things too...

So, bottom line is that vote-downs are harmless. In worst case, after 10 down-votes, you comment becomes hidden and the user has to click on it to read it. As we do with the ignored users. However, if you notice unusual amounts of down votes, and you suspect that has been used for unethical reasons, or constantly by a specific user, please contact directly with the mods and admins and they will deal with it. They can see that person. ;-)

Nope! you either got it wrong, or you just don't want to understand.

What i have done on this comment, is simply to explain how things are. And this is only because i dislike ignorance, so i wrote some very common things that people might not know (or might conveniently "forget"). It is not antagonism and it has nothing to do with points etc. It is the right thing to do, to defend the truth. It is never about the points, but about the excitement, a thing that i stated clearly, perhaps with wrong metaphors.

I will continue to do what i do, with or without points and rewards. I only said that with rewards is a bit more fun! So, stop insulting me or twisting the "spirit" of what i wrote every time i write things that you don't agree. You want things to be as in the past. I want things to be different, new, fresh! And after some time, different again. It's called evolution. When things are always the same for me it's boring. This is who i am and there is nothing to be shame of, neither i have to explain my self to anyone. I accept you for what you are, i never tried to change you or undermine so and i expect exactly the same.

Be sure, that if you and few others didn't bring this matter on and on and on, all the time, every few posts, i most possibly wouldn't write nothing at all. But any action bring reaction and balance has to be preserved... when there is too much "black" i stand for the white side and when there is too much "white" i stand for the black side (metaphorically speaking). Equality demands that someone must speak for the "other side" too, and if no one does, then i take that role.

Unless, if you think that only your opinion has to be heard and the rest of us should shut up and obey. Which of course it is not acceptable. I am just reacting on your (and few others) forced opinion (which i really got sick of reading it in at least 20-30 comments the last 2 months).

Peace 🙏

PS: i stopped reading your comment after the "dog"... not because i got offended (in fact i only get offended by irony and injustice), i love animals much more than most humans but because i laughed my *ss down... however, a horse might fit better as i am a Sagittarius... you know, Centaur, half-horse and all this ;-)
