@mat1 Yes we should all do that

@mat1 yooooooooooo

@CoolJames1610 Yeah I know, most projects on repl talk lack quality but people upvote them because... well this would take too long to explain but I am guessing you already know

yes :D @Kopamed

@CoolJames1610 XD, sad but true

@PDanielY Yeah, its weird how some people get tons of upvotes by begging for them while others only get a few.

Same @PDanielY

@Kopamed,agreed.

@HahaYes i dont think this is nessecary

@ChezCoder Remember! Upvoting is Caring......Cookie0

@HahaYes it is, if you enjoyed something, you should upvote it....

@rediar yes

@ZacPlayz Most users on repl.it are kids which act on emotions. That is why they upvote when they see a beggar. Its like real life - kids see a beggar, they want to give him money. Adults see him and know that 9/10 the person could just get a job but is too lazy

@ZacPlayz I know it isn't a good thing that I asked for upvotes. I won't do that again(promise)

@DannyIsCoding its ok

@ZacPlayz please don't target people. @DannyIsCoding is part of our community and picking on him is equivalent to picking on yourself. I do respect your claim but next time, please, don't target people.

@ChezCoder I wasn't wanting to target @DannyIsCoding im sorry if it looked like that... :( sorry @DannyIsCoding if i offended u

@ZacPlayz Many people, don’t look in the code, it’s perfectly acceptable to ask for upvotes if you believe your post should get them and you really put some effort it it...

@Codemonkey51 Yep!

@Codemonkey51 Exactly what I do. There are so many posts that do that I've hit the reply button instead sometimes

@CodingCactus No but @DanyIsCoding posted a post that asks you to upvote it for no reason other than because he has a lot of cycles. https://repl.it/talk/share/GOOSE-2-NOW-OUT/36796

@Kopamed oh ye, I saw that. That shouldn't have happened. It got more upvotes than the actual thing didn't it?

@CodingCactus I think it actually did. But what really surprises me is the fact that people actually upvote it

@Kopamed i'm suprised at the amount of people upvoting bookie0's stuff, because it is the same (pretty low quality) thing pretty much over and and over again, just a different string. I'm pretty sure it is the same people that upvote their posts, so they can just post anything and they get pretty much guaranteed 30 upvotes or something from the same people each time

And yes I know my posts are very low quality, I’m not an expert coder, but I am also surprised why some of my animation gets lots of upvotes! @CodingCactus

@Kopamed
That happened again with another post, and it even had upvote in the title

@NoelBryan Yeah i know, I already reported it because like you said, it had "upvote" in the title and it was posted 2 times in one hour

Ok @Kopamed
Also because I have nowhere also to test it and coding cactus said if you use six hashtags you get tiny text so I’ll just test it here

test

@NoelBryan you can test that suf in a really old post or something lol or in a .md file in a repl

Oh ok, I’ll just use a mg file. I never knew about that! @CodingCactus

@Kopamed yeah ik he just posted a post saying randomly to just upvote his post cuz he "needs it".

@Bookie0 that's not a good excuse man.

@Kopamed I know it isn't a good thing that I asked for upvotes. I won't do that again(promise)

@DannyIsCoding Ok, I will remember this

@Jakman I saw some other people asking for upvotes and it worked for them so I started doing that too. I know it's not a good thing and I won't ask for upvotes again.

@DannyIsCoding cool.

Lol fine I’m just sayin upvoting is caring dude @Jakman

@Bookie0 That is begging

Ok fine believe what u want @Kopamed

@Bookie0 So will you stop?

Dude, I’m just saying upvoting is caring. I even made a sort of phrase out of it
Some people do

Upvote

So I don’t see what you mean by “begging”
@Kopamed

@Bookie0 But why tho if you know your project is good, people will upvote it. So telling them to upvote is like saying that you know your project is low quality

@Kopamed nice point. Telling people to upvote is just quality compensation.

First of all, most of my posts aren’t that good, (simple animations, etc.) but also, many other people say “upvote” or “vote up” or upvote this” or “upvote this if you enjoyed, and many other variations. And their projects aren’t all bad, and they also think that their projects are good. I hope you understand :) @Kopamed

Look at this example: this person said that if we found it fun, don’t forget to upvote. However, their project is very good, and I’m sure they don’t think it’s low quality.

@Kopamed

@Bookie0 ok so if some people are doing it, you take that as an excuse to do it as well?

@Bookie0 By this point, i don't think that there is any point to argue over anything with you so I wont replie witha any more arguments

Well um yeah, I just say “upvoting is caring” or other variations like that @Kopamed

Ok have a nice day! :) @Kopamed

@Bookie0 Don't do this either:

No many people do that, and its just to remind them that if it helped, select it. Also if it is selects, the answer get pinned to the top,so that other people can see it. So it’s not only about the upvotes @johnstev111

@Bookie0

But if you put it in a quote like this it makes it look dodgy, therefore more like a beg

Ok, for you, i wont put it in a quote, but personally i dont think it does much if it’s not in a quote. Also, making it in a quote kinda shows that its not me who’s saying it, its just the right thing to do
@johnstev111

@johnstev111 @Kopamed, @Bookie0 is not really begging when he says to remember that upvoting is caring. He is just telling people to remember that upvoting is caring not that you should upvote. If you said sharing is caring, you wouldn't start sharing immediately but rather apply it to times when you share. So technically, Bookie0 isn't begging for upvotes.

Thank youuuuuu! @ChezCoder that is correct : )

@Kopamed If your project is good there is no guarantee people will upvote it. Im living proof of it. remember "python3 interpreter" where they got 80 upvotes for doing print(eval(input())) well, I made an actual python to C++ compiler and it got 11 upvotes

@CSharpIsGud thats right.

@Bookie0 lol np

@CodingCactus coughcough

DannyIsCoding

@Kopamed no, I like their goose stuff

Lol @CodingCactus

@Bookie0
cough cough

How do you write small text?

@DynamicSquid six hashtags

@CodingCactus

woah

@DynamicSquid

I've been shrunken! Save me!

like this I think @DynamicSquid

Yeah 6 #

@johnstev111

I am a big person. I shall save you

@NoelBryan

Oh no! The giant has come again to take our sheep away!

@Kopamed

i am a giant

@NoelBryan

Yes your giant-sy,just don't take our sheep! Please!

@Kopamed

ok I have shrunk I will not take your sheep now

@NoelBryan
lol this is why i love repl

@Kopamed
lol

@johnstev111
lmao

@Kopamed same lol

@DynamicSquid I will take you and put you in my

CHEZ PIZZA - Squid flavor, coming to a store near you xD

@IndyCarter i dont think so, we have stackoverflow for that.

Ok @ChezCoder

@JacksonPhilips Yeah, how ironic

@HenryZelonka1 No, I don’t think that’s a good idea. I should be able to upvote what I want. What I like might to a total outsider look like a low quality post. Besides, many times it’s hard to tell if it’s genuinely a beginner showing off their first project they thought was cool or some dude begging with a no effort project.

@ZacPlayz I mean I am happy you did and that the moderator actully cared, but what really makes me happy is the fact that I am a kopa bed lol

Yes I noticed this happens really frequently and it really dissapoints me because if i resort to begging for upvotes, i get the feeling people are upvoting my stuff because I asked them to and not because it is good. And yes, a good 90% of what gets posted on repl are terrible projects made by people desprete for upvotes. And also, the reason putting the title all in capitals and begging for upvotes, and having a terrible program works is beacuse most of the people on this media are small kids. Not all of them, But there are a lot. I think you have the best answer here @Jakman

@Kopamed thank you for your input. Most children on this site are attracted to these clickbait projects. The people who are attracted to actually helpful tools need to report beggers and look in new like i do for quality posts.

Well said, I agree @Jakman

@Kopamed Thank you.

@Jakman The problem is it’s all relative, some posts I agree are just plain useless and clearly a low effort bid to get upvotes. Some so-called “clickbait projects” are cool, although you may not think so. Keep in mind many people on repl.it are beginners who are impressed by something I or you could probably make in 5 minutes.

@rediar the problem occurs when beginners spend no time to improve and rely on the same formulas to always get upvotes. If noone improves on the craft then there is a problem.

@Jakman I agree

@DynamicSquid I mean that is fine - everyone does that and the user does not feel obliged to do it. But when you directly ,make the user upvote it, such as making a post dedicated to upvotes, that is when things start to get out of hand.

@Kopamed oh yeah true, true

@DynamicSquid Saying please upvote is already a huge turnoff for me, but then when i comment, and I say, "This is pretty nice", i absolutely hate it when they say, don't forget to upvote.

A trick that has worked for me is upvote when it doesnt have a lot, then when it gains traction, take away your upvote.

@DynamicSquid Amen!

@rediar I can make all of Linux's code a oneliner:
sed 's/\n//g'

@Bitkoshy we can’t downvote

@Bitkoshy Really, how? I think you might be thinking of reddit!

@kbadrinath_tcsp I don't think he has:
