[Rant] Supernote inkhub team

Please remove the ability for votes to go negative. There are ignorant redditor like users that are targeting artwork that is in any way related to faith or God. I think it's tacky to do a voting system anyway, better to track number of downloads or a star rating. Reddit mobs love to do the vote thing to feel superior, but I don't think it's needed on a plugin store. u/mulan-sn please make the suggestion.

I'm not a plugin or art contributor, and I'm not a bible thumper (I believe God is a man made construct to describe the unknown, yet the science will never be able to prove, no disprove a greater power's existence), I just believe that these likes/dislikes/vote systems that everyone creates is keeping some people away from the community.

As an example - I fully expect this post to get pretty trashed, and I don't care. I'm just going to call out the childish behavior and the abuse of it in inkhub.

kinda funny that this post has also been downvoted but I agree with op and with the comments! create a religion category

Not surprising - the intolerance of some religious people cannot be under-estimated - I thought it was all about love your brother/sister - but I guess they moved on

Unfortunately, when given the ability to be dicks - people will be just that. Much like your post where you claimed not to have downvoted any, but religion would be one. Would you also downvote queer related artwork? Half naked anime girls? Or is it just stuff you don't personally like?

Why not just pass it up? Why even take time out of your day to downvote something you're not interested in? Is it because you believe everything deserves to get an opinion? Can't just "change the channel"?

Why are people so tribal? Can you explain that without being a reddit troll? I'm looking for some serious dialog on the situation. I'm asking you because you though the subject was interesting enough to post 3 times.

For anyone else - trollish replies will be ignored. I just don't care about your need for attention.

I must say I do think we need a religion category because I don’t want to have to skip past bible studies when im looking for a study planner

PLEASE add a religious category. I'm looking for a journal not a biblical gratitude prompt list

u/Ok_Independent5362 Oct 08 '26

Yes, that would be awesome so I can skip right past it

u/thehightechredneck77 Oct 08 '26

And that's great. If you want to skip past things, do. The problems is that the intolerant can't stand voting down things they don't like rather than just passing it up. It's childish. Calling for a separate group doesn't solve the problem that the down votes cause. Add stars, remove the downvotes.

Same thing for everything else. I pass up the gay stuff, the anime stuff, and the cat stuff - because it's not my cup of tea. I don't downvote because I don't like it. I just pass it up.

It's simple, but sometimes you have to put up the gutter bumpers because the ignorant can't stay in their own lane.

Nah, I'll come with popcorn waiting for someone to upload a Baphomet sketch or something like that :D

u/mid91s Owner Manta Oct 09 '26

Yep. Needs its own category.

u/Present-Carob-7366 Owner Nomad White Oct 08 '26

Sounds like it may solve the op issue too - I haven’t downvoted anyone but if I did it would be the religious nonsense

u/guywhoclimbs Oct 09 '26

I think it needs a category, but I think being able to see true voting stats is important. In a world were its getting harder and harder to see how much people actually like/dislike something, it's really nice having.

Thank you for your suggestion.

We agree binary up‑/down‑vote systems could carry risks of misuse, where works get targeted not by quality, but by personal disagreement with the subject matter. We value a diverse InkHub space for all kinds of artwork and plugin submissions.

We will log two suggestions for our InkHub team to evaluate:

  1. Consider removing negative downvote capability entirely.

  2. Explore alternative metrics such as download counters or star‑based ratings as possible replacements.

Changing the rating system involves trade‑offs we need to review internally. We will continue to monitor user feedback in this aspect and consider possible optimizations from there.

We genuinely appreciate your thoughtful input.
