edit:
im using phone internet, i.ll incorporate you thoughts when i get a pc
note:
I've been trying to be nice, but from now on, spam rudeness and stupidity will not be tolerated IN MY FEEDBACK THREAD.
You will be dealt with properly if you know what i mean
Stay on topic.
I'll make it brief.
Apparently you guys dislike brevity.
So I repost.
Original Post:
Here's why:
It's makes room for trolling.
Gaia, you should improve this feature.
It should not be anonymous.
If it still will be, you should at least require users to post first before earning the right to vote.
It's quite annoying when you make a thread and you already get negative votes before even seeing posts. It makes room for trolls to silently troll your thread.
Who agrees with me?
Site Feedback, Y/N?
EDIT: OMG guys
So many replies. (and they're long gonk )
I'm overwhelmed.
I'll get back to you ASAP. sweatdrop
EDIT: Done reading up to page 2, I'll try my best to reply.
Laters.
/busy.
Thanks for your thoughts
EDIT: Reading your posts now.
I am apologizing in advance if I cannot reply to every single post.
So many... :/
1. Be clear and concise.
I dislike the current feature because it is abused as a tool of trolling.
Here's how Gaia define's trolling:
Downvoting a thread with multiple accounts just because you do not like the person (eg. ignored you because you're being annoying/stupid) is abuse not only on the feature but on the user.
Let put it this way to people who still can't grasp it.
Let's say you make a thread and a few seconds later, you get a -8 votes.
It's unnatural because you get no posts yet.
Now, argue with me, isn't that intended to offend or provoke an individual as Gaia defines it?
2. Provide constructive feedback.
2.1.1. Make it not anonymous - If a user solely intended to offend/ provoke/ troll a person (not the thread), he may be liable.
2.1.2. If you dislike a thread, let it know. Lurking isn't fun. Join the conversation. Have some balls.
If you do not want to let it know because you are guilty you are only voting to troll the user, then it is a whole different story.
Do you get what I mean?
2.2.1. Require users to post first.
If your issue is that it will create spam, then they must be reported for spam.
It is not a valid reason to say you don't wanna spam. If you don't wanna spam, then say something thread related.
2.2.2. If your saying you're disliking it because your thoughts was already mentioned, then say it again in the not-the-same text. It's a lame excuse, really.
2.3. Ignored users must not be able to vote. Like moderators will tell you when you file a report: "Put them on Ignore"
They should not be able to interact with the user who ignored them as intended by the Ignore feature.
Kinda like ignored users who can still summon you by quote, it needs a fix.
3. Being polite gets you heard.
I will be polite as much as I can. But please, don't expect sugar-coated goodie-doodie replies if you start off rude.
PS. Will edit when I get new ideas.
Forgive me for the very slow replies.
Thanks for your thoughts and excuse my bad English. ;pa
