Upvotes don't measure quality of content, just volume. Meme's get dozens of upvotes for being funny... like imgur... but provide no community value.

I wouldn't say they provide no value. I would much rather laugh at something funny than hear for the 1000th time how much people hate Vayne.

I'll give you one more upvote to add to your ranking.

You have my thanks. I know I am far from number one (there are some people with a LOT of upvotes on GD), but I would like to know how far away.

Holy shit, someone's spam downvoting all of your comments I:

And you know what...?

This would kill what little of G&B is left

Meh, Gameplay and Balance is filled with complaints about whoever the board determines is the OP champion of the month. It is rare that I actually see a post that adds something new.

All of my nope. Upvotes are not a good metric for individual contribution, especially when viewed in a vacuum. Certain types of content will always be more upvoted than others regardless of the actual quality, as well.

It would still be a fun thing to have. It wouldn't remove anything, it would purely be an addition.

It would be the only leaderboard mechanic on the entire platform, which would give the impression that upvotes are all that matter.

Haha I think you're probably at number one, it's a lot easier to post 100 funny posts that get upvotes than 100 posts with meaningful content (I think most of the QQ threads are random about which one gets upvoted so there's no way you could consistently get lots of upvotes).

Definitely nothing against what you do here :P just recognizing why there's probably nobody with quite as many.

There is a guy named "HOW DO YOU META" on GD that has more than me, and I assume others on GD do as well. Also, this is a very toxic community. Making it a little bit happier and more welcoming is far more meaningful that repeated post about how much people hate Vayne/Riven/Fizz/Lee Sin etc.

As I said, I'm in no way trying insinuate your posts are inferior to others, just more consistent.

No. No. Just no. We do not need to give people bigger egos than they already have.

... ... Oh what? Sorry I was looking at myself in the mirror admiring my ego. http://unironicallyenthusiasticnerd.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/had-to-look-in-the-mirror.gif
