I'm a fan of this new Community Beta
Honestly, I think Riot has done a great job with this. I enjoy looking at Reddit everyday, and now that there is something that works well like it, I will probably be visiting this quite a bit more.
Some positives that I can see coming from this:
-
Easier to manage what is "good" content, and what content should be ignored, because it lets the community decide.
-
Personally, I feel it's easier to understand where things are going, instead of having to look through upwards of 100 pages for big enough threads. I don't have time to read all that.
But there are some negatives I feel about this right now:
-
The formatting needs to change, as far as width automatically adjusting, and the colors. To me, the colors are a bit hard on my eyes, but honestly, I'm not sure exactly what could be done to fix it.
-
Reposting may become a big issue. I see this with Reddit, and I would hate for that to happen here.
-
"Karma Whoring" as they call it on Reddit. I'm not sure if any point system is going to be implemented with this, but honestly, I hope not. Too many people are posting too many things on Reddit just to get their internet points, and not actually give positive feedback for the community.
Overall, I feel like it's a great idea, and if implemented correctly, can really be a benefit to this community.
