Can we get an extremely long thread with over 1000 replies copied to this section? Because right now I'm seeing a model that doesn't use pages at all, which urk's me greatly on an organizational lvl. Can we see what that looks like? How its handled?
Thank you.
Kajika914 votesWell this format, imho (in my humble opinion), tends to make people read all the 'main' posts instead of just skipping from page 1 to page 42, making redondant posts less likely to appear and even though interting posts are meant to be at the top while all the trash ones are sinking into the oblivion bottom.
Boku Girl4 votesWhat?
You mean that everyone ends up reading and circlejerking around the top 3-4 posts that are upvoted and ignoring the rest.
Kajika911 votesNo, just upvoted posts at the front (and why not?), downvoted at the bottom, middle voted at the middle.
Btw upvoted posts that are at the top can be more than 4 and even though you actually can scroll down to read the rest of the posts.
But if you don't like we can just use old style forum and flow any thread with "trololo" (or w/e) posts to make it unreadable. Even without being trolled any topic getting bigger than 5 pages won't be read anymore (expect first and last pages) unless you followed it from the start.
Ask Mr Zed2 votesBecause this is league if legends and I don't want cat pictures and funny videos being posted so people can get more "karma" on their league of legends forum profiles.
Kajika911 votesYou can't build a system that works with people who doesn't.
If people just post and upvote cats to get more karma any type of forum won't solve the problem... I think...
Just as well as if people downvote posts even though they bring points and are constructive.
Proxy and Feed3 votesThe problem is that this relies on every single person voicing their honest opinion on every single post they read. As the norm is on the internet, you normally don't post or comment on something you're okay with, but you're more than willing to post about something you dislike or fall in love with. This leaves the more simple or middle-ground posts to die in the corner while drastic or early posts are kicked up to the top.
BlueCannonMinion3 votesi agree there at least needs to be organizational options here for it to handle really long threads
such as popular chronological, direct comments (comments directly to the OP), comment groups, etc

Ask Mr Zed2 votesOk so long posts just get a lousy "show more button". this isn't tumblr... I want to be able to jump to a page or to the beginning of a thread. How can I go through an awesome conversation that will be supposedly floated to the top by this reddit rippoff if I have to keep asking forthe next 50 posts. Do I lose my place entirely if I log out or refresh the page?? Cuz that would be "lovely". -__-
Kira Onime1 votesBeats me
I also want to know how do you find out which posts are recent. I mean, in a 200+ post discussion, how am I supposed to find what,s new when it's buried somewhere in the middle.
RiotKrylhos2 votesThanks for bringing this up!
We definitely have some challenges ahead of us with helping to present large threaded discussions, and providing an easy to understand path of revealing quality content (as well as providing an easy to use path of discovering and navigating through all content).
We started off with a relatively simplistic approach, and are excited to think outside of the box and bring forth solutions to these community discussion problems. We released this system early with such a simplistic approach because we value community feedback above all, so we felt like we should solve this problem together.
Vsin2 votesWell, if the primary complaint thread is any indication, it's basically impossible to follow anything other than the most upvoted posts (like...3 of them), the Red posts, or the 5 most recent ones. Everything else gets completely buried.
Yes, buried. Especially since the red posts make it nearly impossible for me to get to more than the comments you guys cherry picked.
RiotKrylhos1 votesWe recognize the challenges of discovery within larger threads. We'll experiment with different solutions, and work with you (the community) to continuously make improvements.
Vsin1 votesResponding with a truncated version of the post I responded to isn't useful dialogue.
