 I have made a few changes to this system. I have never liked it.

 People sometimes down vote playfully, not realizing it can be hurtful or disappointing to players.
 Other times, banned players who are here to plea, down vote random posts just because they can. Either way, it's no fun and it feels bad. :(

 And still, other times, a player will down vote posts they find to be inaccurate or spammy.
 
 Remember, these votes are not ever supposed to be an opinion of a person, they are intended as an opinion of a post the person made.
 
 The intention of those is to thank someone for helpful posts and information. Sadly, the forum software does not allow us to prevent players from being taken into the negatives. :(

 I also have never liked the wording "Popularity" and "Like / Dislike" ? Yikes. I don't like it at all.

 I have changed a few settings that should help.

 In order to "vote" players must have a set number of posts on the forum. Before, anyone could hop on and vote, even if it was the only thing they ever did on the forum.
 
 Also, members can only vote for other players once every 12 hours, instead of hourly.

 We no longer have "popularity". We have "resources". You can now give a player a diamond, or a dirt block for their post. And we all know how useful dirt can be for leveling out land, and making big pretty farms :D

 If someone has put you in the negatives, send me a forum message and I will reset your count. Hopefully we will not see any more negatives now that we all understand a little bit more about how this works.  <3
