Another Bug.. Why is people allowed to Up the Posts, but Not allow to down? Up voting the Post tell people you agree with the issue, and Downing Voting the post tells people you Disagree with their post and it should not be heavily look at. Not being allow to do both up and Down Defeats the purpose the the Buttons. Thanks! 👎️

    I believe the reference is to the Suggest an Idea area, where there is the more direct way of supporting (upvoting) an idea by clicking on the "up" arrow. No, this does not appear to be a bug, so the down arrow should be removed to avoid the confusion whereby it appears there is the option to vote down an idea. I think the lack of this option is in line with the code of conduct, which promotes being kind to each other and discourages negativity.

    Oh - Im totally with you . . . . me too.

    but I was just sharing my honest opinion about why it was possibly the way it was.

    Note I am not a FS employee or moderator - was just sharing my thought about why it was that way.

    and. . . not everyone is like me and you . . .

    Given this Community's four different ways to indicate one's generic agreement with comments and discussions, and the total absence of anything to express disagreement, I doubt it's a bug.

    Thanks for bringing this up @s10297588641. I can downvote with my mod account but not with my public account. I have passed this on for review.

    just guessing . . . . maybe because someone wanted to avoid people "getting their feelings hurt" . . . ??
