We need to liven up the offseason, so starting shortly every downvote you receive on a post (Dislike, Facepalm, or Drunk) will subtract a like from your total and take away an Oxbuck. This is certain to damage post-to-like ratios and will definitely lead to some spirited offseason discussion.

Discuss.

Or less spirited if people try to avoid down votes. It is easy to post only positive things and avoid controversial posts that will draw down votes, if you are trying to maximize your Oxbucks. That could lead to a less spirited board.

It's a great way to spur "feuds" and foment chaos in general. If you employ the "X number of downvotes and you're gone" feature, some of us will be going on vacation at a rate that would embarrass a politician with a golf membership at Maralago. Sounds like great fun. Which member of Trump's inner circle gave you the idea?

See the "ratings" right under your name on the left? The green number is your likes, the red number is your downvotes.

This was all just a social experiment, boys and girls. The software wouldn't allow this even if I wanted it to. Just wanted to get some reactions, and was hoping someone would have an epic meltdown.

Overall, everyone was pretty funny and behaved. I'm proud of all of you.
