the301stspartanReeroI get your point now, but nowhere in my post did I say that anyone had to contribute to the post after rating. I was just expressing that I normally only -frag shitposts, my bad for not expressing that eloquently.
Ye but by your rules, that would be the only valid way to show your disapproval of the content of the post.
I see your point now, but in an ideal setting I would think that you +frag people you agree with, -frag shitposts and don't vote on contributing posts even if you disagree with them
eg.
guy My stance on this is x and here is why
3 people agree
1 person doesn't
+3
other guy my stance on this is contrary to guy and here is why
3 people disagree
1 person agrees
+1
shitposter xD I am not contributing to the discussion
4 people agree this is a shitpost
-4
As you see, in a perfect setting by not voting on something you disagree with, you are successfully showing disapproval towards it.
