Over the past few weeks I have noticed my old poems from a few posts ago have been decreasing in score without any explanation or review. Personally this irritates me as if someone didn't like my poem the least they could do is tell me why and the votes are appearing in -2's meaning they are site members. Does anyone else find this happens to them? If so is there anyway of finding out who is anonymously trashing my work and why?

Yep - I agree....I posted a topic earlier...I have no problem with negative votes...just tell me why you are voting negative and I'd be happy...

To be or not to be....that is totally illogical captain.....Spock.

I think some people may not want to post a review after voting negative because they think it will come back to haunt them later. This is a ridiculous assumption on their part, but unfortunately it's the way things are. -2's shouldn't hurt too much, but if we see that a specific user is constantly down voting your articles, we'll definitely look into it.

Being realistic I understand that some reviewers will vote me negative...the votes really means nothing...it's the feedback that is important...so vote negative and give me feedback!!!! Now where's me beer.....

I can understand a few minus 2's here and there when I've just posted an article...however there seem to be sme people who go back to really old articles and just vote negatively on everything they find. For example, my first two poems were scored as 18 and 22 when they stopped being reviewed, but I've just looked back at them now and they've been voted down to 16 and 16 without any feedback. Trouble is I think people who want to vote negatively all the time will go back and look for stuuf to trash were people who are actually trying to be helpful move on to the next article once the reviews are written and the votes tallied.

I'm kinda having a problem in the opposite direction...
My latest piece has three positive votes, but no reviews.
So I don't know what people like about it...
Or how I could make it better (I actually posted this one on here to get some good feedback)
Also, someone favorited, and I can't tell who...
Because I don't know who voted X.X

Sadly, this another user generated problem hard to control. It's hard to control not only because it's hard to track, but it also invades into the privacy of our users to prevent it. Like Caleb said, we are able to pick up on users who repeatedly do this and bring them to justice, but otherwise this is just another case of a user's choice to freely do as they wish even if it's not justified.

Why do none of the short stay members vote positively. If you just want to bitch write in heat not here!

Aye, I say we make a small angry mob, and hunt them down!

We could have a bake sale or something to raise money for plane tickets, and torches and stuff.
