[Enjin Archive] Downvoting disabled
Started by [E] sawine

Sadly a shift in the voting system opens the way to good old fashioned forum trolling, as people have no reason to fear public opinion anymore.

We shall see.

Well first we had a problem with dislikes now we have a problem with likes...

Likes was a way for you to know what somebody was really like by first glance and to know what somebody reputation was like.. Now everybody is liking each others post for nothing??? Im calling BS on that

I am not a bad guy (I hope) but I still have down votes

I think in this way it is good as instead of down voting people will post with their dislike

It gives you a chance to ask why and reply...

As for trolling

Like a said before

There is always a forum bann!
I would like to say that just because you're not afraid to troll anymore, we aren't letting up on the rules. You all need to still be respectful, and if it goes too far, a forum mod WILL take action.
I dont mind the removal of "Thumbs down". But The thing with thumbs down was you could tell who's feedback and forum posts were useful or not. But Sawine has a point, people do go nut's with the "Thumbs down" button If they are presently in pity of a certain player.

An example of this was when me and Luggious got in a verbal fight a day ago. In spite his rage, he "thumbs downed" a few comments. Even though those posts where idiotic all together, he made me look like a compete idiot (No comment Luggious!!!). Me and Luggious are now on good grounds.

What i recon, is we all can vote a certain amount of "Thumbs downs" a day, and the "Thumbs ups" should be unlimited.

Encouraging positive attitude towards Peoples opinions and comments on the forums!!!
Rigggy... that's nothing... one person down voted 75 posts of mine at one point in time...
Maybe minetown should leave enjin and start a website that would have more freedom.

Also, It used to be a thing to be proud of to have a high number of likes.. now everyone is getting a shit ton of them for nothing, just irritates me.

And I know that im gonna get in trouble now sooner or later for voicing my opinion too much
And there is no possible way to alter the downvote system already built into enjin as we obviously cant... I have message Lilia of enjin about the downvoting problem and maybe to let admins see who downvotes a post... my reply was:

Contact the forum owner to disable dislikes..

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
That statement I made was just an example, my friend. I feel for you, man. 75 posts "thumbs downed" is a horrible thing for someone to do, But that's why the button was removed. Another thing that was abused by idiots and was taken away from us, the citizens of minetown.
Just another example of people being over-sensitive and crying about everything till its changed, wah wah wah i got down voted oh noes! Its a forum and down votes mean nothing...
