Would you support an MMO champion forum voting system like in the WoW forums?

I can't think of a legitimate reason why someone would vote no to this.

Haven't read one either in this thread yet either.

[Solidito]

No. I go to Reddit quite a lot, the amount of times I've been down voted for something that shouldn't be down voted is ridiculous. You see it all the time, it would not be a good direction for these forums.

"Oh, that guy has a different opinion than me, DOWN VOTED".

You're just ignoring then how it usually plays out, threads just become echo chambers because those of different opinions have their posts literally show up as hidden or buried.

A lot of peoples' first reaction to this would be "downvote". Your opinion is not invalid, or wrong, but you would probably be buried.

And I have yet to read a good legitimate reason in this thread on why they should be added.

[Laerrus]

It promotes less free thinking and more of a mob mentality, so no.

MMO-Champ is just fine the way it currently is.

[issmeihede]

I'd stop posting here the minute this happens.

[hrugner]

Nah, I'd rather people post to encourage more people to express their opinions rather than posting in hopes of getting a +1 or whatever. If it did get implemented, I'd like the option to hide it so I wasn't encouraged to participate.

This is a good time for this http://midortechies.com/2015/04/18/s...front-page-78/
Absolutely applicable for all "voting" systems. Making posting about maneuvering hard to the flows of the current circle jerk is just retarded.

[Super Kami Dende]

You cannot hold true debate if one side is silenced.

People were downvoting your crap posts, eh?

[FuxieDK]

A thousand times no. A "Like" button is fine, but every system that uses up/down voting is a failure.

Like without dislike makes no sense...

[papajohn4]

Only if there is upvote/like option and not downvote. A like button will save a lot of "this /10chars" posts, but a downvote button will bring lot of trolls

[Deleted]

i would downvote anyone who wouldn't agree with me so i guess it's best not to implement this.

[MoanaLisa]

Speaking only for myself, no.

[Kryn]

No. Let WoW keep it's system and MMO-Champ keep it's system.

[Zuben]

Nah, it would be oppressing. Everyone has a voice that equally deserves to be heard. We already have moderation for trolls.

Id prefer a reputation system similar to overclock.net. When you give rep to somebody it doesnt up/down vote a post, its just mean that you acknowledge that somebody made a nice/intelligent/funny post.

On one of my football supporting communities, this works wonderfully.

That's a fansite, though, where everyone pulls in the same direction; they want the team to do well. Here... The community is much, much larger and is far more divergent.

There are also obvious trolls, baiters and imbeciles here. I just don't think you can make a system like this work.

That seems pretty cool.

[Findus707]

I would have down voted every comment saying "No" here :P
So I want it.
