Voting down or just ignore?
I've ben browsing and hub hopping and voting up stuff I really liked, and flagged one post that promoted illegal activity, but I haven't done much voting down.
The posts I'm ambivalent about or those that are plainly just MFS (Made for Adsense). Somebody had just taken a Wikipedia article or a product description from a manufacturers website, rewritten it a bit and posted it, with or without an affiliate link.
There's nothing of value. No opinion, no tips, no personality.
As i said, I have just been skipping these, but I'm curious about other hubbers feelings. Do you vote these down?
I have voted down only 1 hub which i found objectionable ..hub team deleted that account i suppose..other than that i normally don't vote anything down..voting up is activity i do for hubs i find good..
Voting down is your choice, why would you need someone else's opinion?
I'm curious about how other people feel about maintaining the quality of HubPages articles. Is it sufficient to simply ignore MFA junk or do you think it should be actively voted down?
As I said, I'm ambivalent: I'm not sure what is best. That's why I am asking.

I just voted my own hub down because I was trying to use those arrows to scroll with! They look like scrolling arrows, not voting arrows! This is not good.

Some of my hubs have points up to 85 but its always voted down to 70 or 75. I might have some haters or enemies that i know off. What should I do in this situation. Should I just delete my account and re-post all my hubs? I have some good original content hubs and I find no reason for anyone to...
