I confess...I’ve been skewing up and down votes on some topics (but I never vote on my own posts). I’ve decided it is not exactly ethical... so I’ll make the method public and perhaps the admins will fix the hack.

This only seems to work on the iPhone, not computer. If you tap the up or down vote icon rapidly and lightly with the phone on a hard surface, you can enter from two to six votes. Apparently the program allows voting throughout one full second before registering your vote. So if you tap with a light fast staccato, it will register all taps made within that one second. I’ve gotten up to six votes, and I may have gotten seven once.

It has been fun racking up multiple negatives on Barner posts. Now everyone can play... My friends, I do this in the name of true sportsmanship. Y’all are welcome. Ciao

Pro tip: it only counts one of the 6 votes that it shows. When you refresh the page, the count fixes itself.

I've never really cared about how many up or down votes I receive. I use them frequently for others, but they don't bother me either way.

The downvote feature is the best thing to ever happen to this site.

You’re probably going to have to delete your account after this one.

I’ll think of this moron thread every time I see your name.

Did you get this info in the latest premium package newsletter? I accidentally deleted mine.

I called customer service when I noticed the feature had a glitch and wouldn’t count all 6 of my votes. Then the newsletter came out clarifying that it didn’t work that way.

Up and down votes has little meaning on this board.

Stop trolling people. All premium actually gets you is the nudies board, and that’s like 80% bad ed orgeron photoshops these days.

Who gives a frick about up/down votes!
Say what you honestly think, and frick what the rest think. If they've got a retort, let's hear it!
This place ain't no popularity contest!..grow up!..grow some cajones, and to hell with what other people think!
