Limophile blogged about Shaming and Down Voting better than I.
However, the subject is so important that I feel the need to Echo it.

"1 Bombing" is maddening and pathetic!
There are many stories I skip over based upon Tags such as Snuff, Scat, Beastiality, Analingus, and most M/m.
Elements of my writing probably don't "turn on" or even disgust some readers (Interracial, Prostitution, and Violence not part of the sex).
Just skip over stories that have a "Squick" for you.
I would not "demand" that Lazeez change the Voting system.
I do Urge that people consider their Votes. I almost never awarded a 10, and I believe the lowest I have voted is a 3.
I Down Vote (as in a 3 or 4) stories for excessive misspelled words, no paragraph breaks, difficult to read/understand sentences, missused words,, and poor grammar.
To me a 1 would have to be utterly incomprehensible, a single run on sentence resulting in a wall of text, and so many misspelled words and absence of grammar that I am no longer sure what language it is written in.
There are many ways to Find or Avoid stories on SOL, Score is only one. Tags, Reviews, and sections of the Forums.
Vote your conscious, however, please save the 1s and 2s for things that are really poorly written, displaying no effort to check spelling, nor to make it readable.
If you don't want to read the content, skip it, don't down vote without reading it.
We enjoy Content here because people post their stories for us to read for Free! Of course, I urge people to purchase a Premium Membership, and to purchase stories on Bookapy 😉
