There is a problem with how voting works on the boards:
Players downvote things without reading them, or they try to get their comments ahead of others by voting down others' questions in threads like Meddler's Gameplay Thoughts.
In the past I have experienced this and it was frustrating. lately I've seen some really good questions by other people in the gameplay thoughts thread which have been downvoted once and don't get the attention they deserve because they don't show up near the top of the "best" list anymore.
Does anybody else think this is a problem?
You can vote for or against the solutions below:
- Allow a poster to disable voting (or even just downvoting) on the comments in their thread.
- Hide votes for a period of time (MordeCaiser's idea posted just the other day)
- Require comments for downvotes
