# Downvoting

> Allow users to downvote suggestions

This feature is disabled by default as you usually only care about how many people support a specific suggestion and not how many might not be interested in it.

If you want to give people the option to downvote you can enable downvotes by running [`/setup`](/commands/setup) and turning the switch next to "Allow Downvotes" to "On".

If your [suggestions forum](/features/suggestions-forum) already has suggestions the downvote button will appear as soon as the next user upvotes the suggestion, since the message is refreshed then.

The [top suggestions post](/features/top-suggestions) does not have a way to make downvotes since discord only allows one button on the side of text, and putting the buttons below would take up significantly more space.
