Negative votes for ideas

I propose to introduce negative votes to give a more complete picture of user feelings.

What are 4 positive votes for a new feature if there are 20 votes against it?

The number and content of the messages sometimes show ‘hot topics’, but why use a proxy if users can express directly what they want, or - in this case - don’t want?

PS: Positive votes have been a nice improvement already - I hope other users will vote more and more so as to improve Citystrides further.

This is the plugin I’m using for this voting feature:

This suggestion would have to go to that team. I did a little digging, and found that they have this forum set up for suggestions:
https://meta.discourse.org/c/plugin/voting/59

I do like the idea of negative votes as well. You could have a highly contentious topic (removing manual completion for example) where you have a bunch of votes on both sides that might be worth considering.

I don’t like this idea, but can’t give it a thumbs down.

Hey, does that mean I do like it?
