I'm relatively new regarding reading the forums and enjoyed it at first. Then I started noticing that all the forum vets had alot more likes than us newbies. I've tried like whoring as much as I can but there seems to be this 'like wall' I can not penetrate. I've decided to push through but alot of my friends who started forums with me have stopped because of this issue.

What is CCP going to do to bridge this 'like gap' between newbies and vet?

Just make a **** ton of posts. When Christmas hits you'll have a ton of likes.

No, I'm not kidding.

So you rank posts by how much the character has likes?

It's common knowledge that if a vet with many likes posts against a newbie with few likes, the vet comes away victorious 9 times out of 10. Many say that the newbie can bring more newbie friends to drown out the vet or find vet friends to guide them in making better content but that hardly addresses the problem at hand.

We must work together to bring attention to this issue and fix it.

Common to whom, exactly?

Haha no thanks, if your ludicrous idea is true then I have an advantage and I'll do everything I can to quash your mutiny.

This is an extremely serious matter than the CSM takes very seriously indeed.

I think that there is a good argument to be made for a "PLEX for Likes" system, but I think this forum PLEX system should mirror the in-game system: rather than buy likes for PLEX directly from CCP they should be sourced from other players.

Furthermore: In order to prevent the inevitable uncontrollable Like inflation that will inevitably occur, CCP should limit the number of likes that can be gained or granted by any single account. However, I recognise that some players will want to take the risk of losing some of their likes in order for the chance to gain larger numbers by skillfull forum diplomacy or even just good posting.

Therefore I propose that the sub forums be categorised in to "hi-sec" "lo-sec" and "0.0" forums as follows.

In the hi-sec forums (eg: New Citizens Q&A, EVE Information Centre) , you will be able to receive and donate a maximum of 10 likes per account

In lo-sec forums (eg: Crime & punishment, Ships & Fittings) you will be able to receive or donate a maximum of 20 likes per account, but you can also spend one of your likes to remove a like from a post from another player. However you can only spend 1 like per day this way against any one player.

In 0.0 forums (eg: COAD, Market Discussion), the maximum is 50 receive/donates per account, and there is no restriction on how you can use your likes to remove likes by other players.

You can have plenty of likes within a few months and then plan to get more likes as you progress and your posts get better. Eventually you'll be fine.

Remember someone with high like and a rubbish thread is not as a good as someone with low likes and a the right thread in the right situation.

It goes without saying that CCP should also add a bounty system where you can like-bounty another player's forum account in order to encourage other players to like-gank him.

My muffled laughter to some of the responses to the thread, especially the one quoted, have raised suspicion that I am, in fact, not working hard at the moment.

When you quoted this line, I was sure a lewd joke would follow. You are apparently better apt at taking the high road than I am.

Nothing. You don't have enough likes for CCP to care.
