The """"new"""" Boards' HOT section has gone downhill since thread score removal

The average quality of the typical board thread nowadays is at an all time low, sure, but threads having scores that would differentiate sh!t posts from actual discussable subject was, to be honest, a must. Now that this doesn't exist anymore, the people who only want to scroll through a small amount of threads per day by browsing "HOT" now have to go through the huuuuuge wall of threads about people unrightfully complaining about their sanctions and/or bans, litteral pointless GD threads, bug reports (who are often on games that some people simply don't play, for example I don't play TFT, so it is basically useless to see half a dozen bug reports on my screen if there's basically no reason for me to see them) and the like.

At this point, I feel like the boards needs to be rebuilt from the ground up and just discard this weird thing that is still practically in beta (devs only removed the "BETA" label just so people would stop memeing about it, change my mind), but for now the easiest QOL change that would be optimal right now would be bringing back the already existing aspect that is thread score.

This place is slowly breaking down, not just in terms of things like community, moderation, and quality, but on a purely technical level. I reckon it'll shut down soon, maybe even this year.

At this rate, the board will be closed so people have to use Reddit anyway.

And yeah, since they're updated their website and removed thread score, it's just a huge pile of shit. But I bet people would come and tell you that they removed it so you can write why you agree or disagree instead of upvoting or downvoting

EDIT: I just went to check real quick if it does looks like the Recent section, and it does looks like it.

Yeah I've been out for like a month and when I came back I didn't even understand how the hell works this new Boards.

I can't even find the notifications of the ppl that answer to me.

don't understand why they couldn't just implement vote manipulation fixes like reddit has

not having voting just doesn't work

Don't worry they will continue to support the boards just like they supported twisted treeline, have faith guys.
