+1's and -1's are useless now, stop using them

Hello everyone!
Recently the forums update has been made - https://prnt.sc/v7ht40 - which made it so you can upvote/downvote suggestions. As stated in the screenshot, that means you should stop posting -1 and +1 comments on suggestion threads. The problem is that a lot of people ignore that because they want to farm posts. That makes the suggestions kinda messy and it would be a lot better if everyone stopped posting +1's and -1's.
Replies in suggestions are supposed to be used for valid arguments that can benefit the discussion and not for just expressing the pure opinion, for that we have the upvotes/downvotes.
I hope this thread will help people understand that they really, really do not need to post +1's and -1's in suggestion threads because it's annoying and unnecessary. The same applies to "neutral" comments.
Thank you all for reading and have a nice day!

A very very valid point . Use the comment section as a median to transfer your suggestions tothe thread maker . We have the upvote and downvote system for people who just drop their +1's and -1's don't use it as a median to grind your messages . Leave a message which is helpful towards the thread or improving the suggestions.

what if we want people to know we agree tho
They do not need to know that you specifically agree. It's enough to look at the upvotes/downvotes to get a good idea of what the community as a whole thinks.

Then they should just look at the votes and don't give a fk about the replies Xd

so you want if anyone made a suggestion the thread should be locked and then to upvote or downvote.

Replies are meant for improvement not going through bunch of people typing +1 -1 this is annoying from the one making suggestions too he made a suggestion to improve a specific thing and posted here to ask for more better suggestions . The upvote and downvote clearly show you how many agreed how many didn't no specific need to type +1 and -1

im pretty sure they can easily scroll down to a normal reply easily. its easy to spot the difference between "+/-1" and any other text
