FlynnCoyote Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Heresy had a negative rep feature. It got ugly. I don't want to think of what such a feature would do to this place. XP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenReaper Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) Better yet, give it teeth, like on Flayrah. If your comment goes negative, it starts to disappear. If it happens regularly, everything you post starts to disappear - and if you're arguing with someone, and nobody else cares, the votes apply cumulatively to your reply thread.

Yeah, but I feel it would add a more passive-aggressive and subversive element to the drama allowing everything to build up to a more dramatic crescendo of high-tier furfaggotry. I hope that makes sense. Maybe it could be seperate from 'likes', as you suggested. Oh well, mods will never allow it. I guess there's still fun to be had.

The most notorious example is obviously reddit, but you see it also on sites like Ars Technica. It would be horrible for a small forum community like this one, though.

ArielMT Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) Slashdot had (still has?) something like that, though in a rather unique way. Every day, it assigns moderator points (5, IIRC) to a random set of users, and they spend those points acting as actual mods, rating posts up or down. The catch is, if you post in a thread, you can't mod any posts in it, and if you mod in a thread, you lose the point and the mod action if you post in it. Edited March 3, 2016 by ArielMT Ninja'd.

Dr. Doggo Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Lets not have the "reddit effect" here. It's an obnoxious sort of feature that does more to kill discussion rather than promote it. On the opposite side, the main advantage of the Like button is that it stops cluttering up threads with "this!" posts that don't add anything of value. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
