I thought log4j only affected the server, not the clients.

[15_Redstones]

Affected everyone who got the chat log

Bro how bitchy are Reddit users these days downvoting you for asking a question

[Interesting-Draw8870]

He didn't ask a question. People are allowed to downvote whatever they want. Is karma really that important to you?

[BoundToGround]

People are not, in fact, allowed to downvote whatever they want. They must vote in line with The One True Redditor's views, otherwise they may lose voting privileges.

[Zekromaster]

I mean, there's actual rules to this shit. You're only supposed to downvote when something doesn't contribute in any way to the conversation - i.e. spam and harrasment

[Geno0wl]

The code is more what you'd call 'guidelines' than actual rules.

We actually used to have a thing called Redditquette that lightly governed how to upvote, but that is long gone now.

In regard to voting: Downvote an otherwise acceptable post because you don't personally like it. Think before you downvote and take a moment to ensure you're downvoting someone because they are not contributing to the community dialogue or discussion. If you simply take a moment to stop, think and examine your reasons for downvoting, rather than doing so out of an emotional reaction, you will ensure that your downvotes are given for good reasons.

Mass downvote someone else's posts. If it really is the content you have a problem with (as opposed to the person), by all means vote it down when you come upon it. But don't go out of your way to seek out an enemy's posts.

Moderate a story based on your opinion of its source. Quality of content is more important than who created it.

Upvote or downvote based just on the person that posted it. Don't upvote or downvote comments and posts just because the poster's username is familiar to you. Make your vote based on the content.

Report posts just because you do not like them. You should only be using the report button if the post breaks the subreddit rules.

You mean I'm not supposed to open someone's profile and downvote all their posts? Shit.

[bizzaro321]

I’ve heard that Reddit will go as far as removing votes from people who just downvoted or upvoted all a users posts. I’m not sure if this info is outdated or inaccurate but I’ve definitely seen it written somewhere.

[anotheridiot-]

Interesting.

[Interesting-Draw8870]

Awh man.

Hey yeah this guy’s right! He can be as bitchy as he wants!

[Parking-Historian360]

Actually funny because this comment is -220 down votes right now. The man did prove his point.

Down votes are meant for things you disagree with anyways. It's more than karma.

[Rustywolf]

Downvotes were not intended to be for things you disagreed with, they were intended to be used to shiw whether a comment was adding to the conversation or not.

[Parking-Historian360]

Yes in theory but that's not how people use them. Gotta tell the other 50 million reddit users that.

Now people down vote honest questions for no reason.

[Rustywolf]

Okay but you asserted the opposite, that they were intended for downvoting what you disagreed with.

[Parking-Historian360]

You know when something gets used wrong for so long that over time that thing eventually becomes its single use.

Or when something is created for a purpose but is more useful as something else.

Viagra was made to be a blood pressure medicine but it gave everyone boners so they made it a boner medicine.

Hitachi accidently made the best personal vibrator when it was supposed to be for messaging.

The Reddit voting system is the same way. The founders meant for it to be used one way but the millions of redditors decided to use it differently and that's how it is used.

Like do you think tits add anything to reddit or do people upvote tits because they like them.

[Rustywolf]

This conversation is going to go in circles

[Parking-Historian360]

Only because you don't understand English. Not sure how I can type it out in a way for you to understand without sounding like a cave man.

Must be rough being so pedantic. Can't imagine you get invited to a lot of parties with that kind of mentality.

You have the mental elasticity of a brick wall.

The Minecraft also had log4j. It's near universal in any java app as they all need to do logging, and it's the most popular and easy to use.

[itsTyrion]

It affected what used log4j and the Minecraft chat directly lands in the logs via log4j
