Seriously, that thing was awesome. At least back then I could see how many users hated my jokes.

I too would like the bar back. That would be a good petition

Would it not make more sense to replace the balancing points with a bar anyway? then people wouldn't get trolled into submission AND we could get a more accurate idea of how many people reacted to the meme.

That was before my time it sounds pretty cool.
I don't really care about upvotes or downvoted, but I tho k it be funny to see how many people downvote my trump and Muslim memes.

Hey...you guys remember when Rpc1 did a memorial for it? LOL

I know how you feel bro

Wouldn’t seeing a lot of downvotes lead to mob mentality? Just downvoting because a lot of others did? Or could only the poster see it?

I would also like to see how bad I trigger people.
The upvote/downvote bar was before my time on imgflip.

Right? Me too.

Sign me up! I am all for having the downvote counter! What is the point of having a vote count at all if you can't see both sides of it? They got rid of the down the counter right before I joined the site. Having an upvote counter, but no downvote counter is basically giving a participation medal and ice cream for every meme.

I would like to see it for the first time!

I wish it was to but ya know they probly wont get it back so if ya cant get it back all you can do is join them

Me too. I actually liked that

They got rid of the downvote option about a week before I signed up on imgflip (old account I deleted about 2 months ago).

I don't care about people down voting my memes and comments except for the fact that a handful of users have numerous alt accounts and systematically downvote mine and other's memes back into submission almost as soon as they feature before others even have a chance to upvote them. And even if they don't go back into submission, a few downvotes will kill the momentum of a meme and send it quickly to the abyss of page 999. Same thing with comments, I could care less if someone doesn't like my comment and downvotes it. But someone is following my comments and constantly down voting them down to low rated so that they don't even show. This even happens on very positive responses to my friends ON MY OWN MEMES. This is why so many users have left recently. It has to stop.

If you like a meme, you give it 3 or 4 stars. If you *really* like it, you give it 5 stars. If you hate it, you give it one star, or just ignore it entirely (no stars).

Then your meme will show an average ___ of of 5 stars, and you can gauge how people responded to it without negative responses screwing you over.

When exactly did the upvote/downvote bar leave us? It was there when I joined imgflip but I stopped using it for a while and when I came back it wasn't there anymore.

I wish more memers were like you with a long history of original content!

Translation: ONCE again we use this site to make some dumb remarks about what should or shouldn't happen. Now, personally having the right to upvote/downvote is perfectly ok by me. It just means you can improve on stuff that'll be fantastic. This is just my silly personal opinion and you shouldn't take it seriously unless you want to.
