Player Features and Ideas Discussion

seriously, there are some ideas on here so bad, that unfortunately have alot of people press like, end up seeming like proposals everybody wants. why are we nay-sayers relegated to ahving to post our resposne and hoping soemone reads?

i propose TWO more buttons added, a dislike button for the bad posts, and a "WTF am i reading" button for those REALLY bad "Make it like WoW" threads.

I think the better solution, for this particular issue, would be to simply add an automatic poll to threads in this forum with 3 options: Up-Vote, Down-Vote, and "Good potential, poor implementation."

I agree, the majority needs to come from the thread itself, but having that poll right at the top would 1) make it much easier to see where people stand on something, and 2) make it much easier for the devs themselves to see it and say "huh, I guess a lot of people really do like this idea."

+1

And therein lies the flaw in the system (and not just goons, the issue is also with people who will simply go and down vote all replies to a thread just for laughs).

There's a forum I know of which cannot be named on this forum, which has a system which has countermeasures to limit abuse like that.

I would only ever support this change if, only one of the three characters for an account were allowed to dislike in the thread. otherwise its be crazy abused. I'm already not the biggest fan of this being allowed for like already. Its more of an ego booster it seems, and i be most people like themselves hundreds of times... imagine how many people you could dislike, maybe thousands of times within an hr?

I do however like the idea of having an overall counter for the thread. instead of likeing or disliking the individual post, allow people to vote on the title itself. its all rather irrelevent though...

Indeed many deserve it, but I'd say no. Because we are not here to allow or deny a thing but to give our reasons. Say no or say yes is not enaugh, have also to say why.
