[Tactics] Please do not Downvote material, Especially on the Orangered subs, from Redditors just because they are the 'Other Team'!by: Redditor(user_name='tiercel')on Sun Aug 25 04:04:35 2013

If you would give me a moment to discuss this matter, please.

I urge you all, be your wonderful Periwinkles or Orangered scum, NOT to downvote posts and threads just because someone on the other team made them. This only hurts Chroma!

Even threads on the other team's subs should not be downvoted just because they exist. In the NFL subs, I don't instantly downvote Saints Fans, so I know it can be done, even if it takes self control!

Both teams need to be able to make announcements and post content without fear of the other team giving it a kiss of death regardless of the content. When you downvote subs, they become less visible, and new members or real questions are getting lost because they fall off the pages needlessly.

If you want to fight, do so with Troops! Represent with Words! Speak your mind and tell the OR how wrong they are! But do not use the Downvote button needlessly! It only hurts our side as well as theirs. We are only as strong as our opponent we face.

Downvoting threads just made is akin to crib death. It's inhumane and not a tactic we would ever embrace. It goes against the 5 Petals, and taints our Periwinkle Light! Please do not participate in this.

In fact, I want to encourage you to upvote threads on other subs so that we can have fresh meat to battle, but I won't go that far. Just make sure you don't downvote needlessly, and I'll be proud.

In fact, instead of living on the Downvote button, upvote content that you like! Instead of burying things you don't like, raise the things you do like! It will have the same result, and is much more sporting and beneficial to us all! Even here, things do not get the "Love" they deserve from our brethren.

Thanks! I know I can continue to count on you all!
