Pratical Solution For Boards Downvote Problem

Siegfriedx2··1 votes·270 views

Just create a point based system that will fix the problem by weighting votes. It's simple, keep tracking of people that upvotes topics very relevant and mark those players. He loses points when he upvotes bad posts or downvotes resonable or good topics. He gain points when he upvotes good posts or downvotes unresonable ones. Make all the "you lost relevance points" very clear so everyone can question and know what is happening. Each "X" (where X is really big) points make his upvote and downvotes worth as 2, and then 3, then 4, then 5, up to a max like 10. This way the small number of good and resonable players will weight more good topics and the balance is restored. Also make very clear who upvoted what (or just a report button), so the community can question abuses of the system.

That's it. Thank you!

How do you decide what topics are good and relevant to begin with?

What exactly is the problem you're trying to solve?

Of having good and relevant topics completely downvoted/vanished because of bad evaluation of the community.

What does good and relevant mean to you?

Let me be more specific: You said in the OP, that we should "Keep track of people that upvotes topics very relevant and mark those players." I'm asking, how to decide which players to mark? You have to decide ahead of time which posts are relevant. How do you intend to decide this?

No, best way to to just turn this shit off. They are so unbalanced and not a good way to telling anything.

Just make votes public so that we know who are the idiots who keep downvoting for fun.
