about a month or so ago, people were getting unreasonably angry about the upvotes, and how some people got more than others. i thought that it was immature, and many people felt the same way. The issue has recently been brought back up by some users who are deleting their accounts because they think that the points system is unfair. I am personally happy to see them leave so that their toxic behavior won't influence a large amount of people. when ccooper/zed deleted their account for the first time, people went absolutely mad. the second time around, no one cared, because the community had since adjusted to people deleting their accounts. the fact that people haven't adjusted to the point system is pitiful and childish, then again, most of the people complaining about it are 5 and 6 year-olds who can't handle not having everything spoon fed to them. in my opinion, the upvote system has improved over time. at the very beginning of the site (i wasn't around for this) people hated the rating system, and reported people who gave them a lower rating than they expected. now people don't report others for giving them points, they thank them. if we could all just take a second and realize how far the community has come, and stop this childish nonsense, we'd (hopefully) be thankful for what we have. we should be thankful for the amazing devs, who have done so much with so little. we should thank each other for pointing out our weaknesses and strengths to help us grow and become better builders. there will always be toxic people, but they can easily be stopped by the moderators, or if they aren't available, you can simply block them. I'm not saying that the community is tearing itself apart, I'm saying the exact opposite. Everyone learns from their mistakes, and we need to do that right now to stop all of this hatred for others. Thank you for reading!
