TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 So I've been opting for the medication route to deal with the problem but it's really messing with my study, my attention span is just completely gone to hell and I keep getting distracted by wondering what my arm tastes like. I hate my brain. I'm sorry. If I knew how to make your brain stop being a scumbag, I'd do it. And would whoever keeps downvoting my posts about my mom in this thread please PM me or stop? I don't downvote anyone else's bad days, so I don't understand this. 4
Edgedancer he/him Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 So I've been opting for the medication route to deal with the problem but it's really messing with my study, my attention span is just completely gone to hell and I keep getting distracted by wondering what my arm tastes like. I hate my brain. I'm also sorry. I can't really do anything about the headaches but if you need someone to talk about the potential taste of your arm I'm here to help. Just don't expect me to actually try and eat one. I'm sorry. If I knew how to make your brain stop being a scumbag, I'd do it. And would whoever keeps downvoting my posts about my mom in this thread please PM me or stop? I don't downvote anyone else's bad days, so I don't understand this. How insane is the option that your mother made an account and is downvoting those posts? 3
Voidus Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 I'm sorry. If I knew how to make your brain stop being a scumbag, I'd do it. And would whoever keeps downvoting my posts about my mom in this thread please PM me or stop? I don't downvote anyone else's bad days, so I don't understand this. Well my plan so far is to feed it lots of icecream so it stops hating me. It hasn't worked yet but it makes me feel better so kindof win I guess? Got paranoid I might have done it while scrolling because of stupid thumbs clicking the wrong thing but nope, not me. So I shall upvote you a few times to spite this mysterious downvoter. And also because you're awesome and dealing with a sucky situation. Hope it works out for you soon.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Edge: Pretty darn. If she'd been on this site, she would've brought up some of my worse posts. Plus, taking out an account on a fantasy site isn't really her thing. Voidus: I don't think it was an accident; multiple posts were downvoted and they all had the same theme. 6

How insane is the option that your mother made an account and is downvoting those posts? Not that I think you're doing this in the least but it just reminded me that I hate that they're called cluster 'headaches'. Because whenever I tell people I had to miss a day of uni or something because I'm having them they inevitably just ask if I want a panadol or something and don't worry they get headaches too but panadol helps them so it should help me. I nearly OD'd on paracetamol once trying to fix it that way, it just does absolutely nothing to help, and a cluster headache is like a normal headache in the sense that a hurricane could be described as a breezy day. Most people are talking about tension headaches or at worst a migraine (Which admittedly does hurt but still no where close) and I feel like someone is trying to pull my brain out through my eye while holding a branding iron to my face, I get people are trying to feel empathetic but it just really really annoys me when people think it's the same thing. So I'm petitioning to have the official term be changed to 'cluster deathy deathy face stab' or at the very least something with 'itis' on the end. People take 'itis's seriously. And for reference my arm mostly tastes like hair so yeah I don't recommend you try it even in the interests of helping a friend 1

Hair never was high on my culinary list. 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 I'm calling them "cluster deathy deathy face stabs" from now on. And there goes another downvote. Seriously, PM me your reasons or knock it off. 8

Kaymyth she/her Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Thanks. Aaaannnnd they've moved over to Random Stuff. I SEE YOUR DOWNVOTES, GUY. That smacks of trolling behavior to me. It might be worth shooting off a PM to one of the mods; they can probably see if someone is unfairly targeting your posts. 3

It might be worth shooting off a PM to one of the mods; they can probably see if someone is unfairly targeting your posts. If I catch another downvote, I'll do it. I don't know if it's typical trolling, though—the post they targeted in Random Stuff was the update about my mom. It had three upvotes when I last left it; when I looked again, it had two. So I don't think they're targeting my posts so much as the stuff I post about my mom….which actually makes the whole thing that much worse. "I'm having trouble with my mom, I'm angry with her and I want to move out." "DOWNVOTE." Just….who does that? 5
Elbereth she/her Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Maybe they're downvoting your mom, not you. 3

I'm with Kay on this one. Nice thought, bad idea. No, it isn't. What I suspect is happening is it's someone who thinks I'm going overboard with the complaining, or that I don't have a right to complain because I don't know how good I have it, or something like that, and the downvotes are trying to make some sort of point. 3

This is the Bad Day thread. There is no overboard with complaining. Why? Because the Forum Mom says so, that's why!* Seriously, this is the only outlet that you have for venting your frustrations. If someone has a problem with that, then maybe they need to stop reading. The downvoting is minor in the grand scheme of things, but it's just coming across as petty. *Not to be confused with any real rules, living or dead. Void where prohibited. Just be nice, kids.

Guest Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) That smacks of trolling behavior to me.

So I don't think they're targeting my posts so much as the stuff I post about my mom….which actually makes the whole thing that much worse. "I'm having trouble with my mom, I'm angry with her and I want to move out." "DOWNVOTE." Just….who does that? Sneaky downvotes happen to me on a regular basis... I write a post, it has one upvote, I come back, it is down to 0 and I have to wonder.... why oh why someone thought it was worth downvoting? I wonder if many other posters experienced the same. Anyway, I understand how you feel... I have had the impression, recently, some of the downvotes (I actually wrote one post who deserved to be downvoted) I was getting were from people who were tired of hearing me talk about certain things, which is not a pleasant feeling to experience, so if this how you feel about the posts you make on your mom, then you have my sympathy. If people are not interested, they can just skip it and leave those who are read them. Have a sympathy upvote. I'm with Kay on this one. Nice thought, bad idea. No, it isn't. What I suspect is happening is it's someone who thinks I'm going overboard with the complaining, or that I don't have a right to complain because I don't know how good I have it, or something like that, and the downvotes are trying to make some sort of point. Everyone has the right to complain. If an issue bothers you, then you have the right to say it. People need to complain and to vent from time to time and they don't need to be right or wrong, they just need to talk about it. Edited November 20, 2015 by maxal
Kaymyth she/her Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Downvotes again What, on one of mine this time? Meh. Let 'em. 1
Mashadar Mistborn he/him Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Whoever keeps giving the stealth downvotes, post something or send a PM, but don't just hide behind a shield of anonymity. That's just childish. 1
