This Iron Banner shows how ignorant Bungie is with their community, and that they need to change how things work

Something about having a numerical display of how much disagree makes it worse, in a way I can't quite put my finger on.

If my comments and posts simply said "more upvotes than downvotes" or vice versa, it would be super-easy to ignore. But having a specific value that's applied to a running tally of an exact, quantifiable numeric display of the value of your contributions makes it feel more personal to see an exact score. Or... at least it triggers something that makes me want to optimize for a higher score.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but for some reason getting lots of downvotes irritates me more than someone simply disagreeing with me in a normal conversation.
