The title says it. I am a regular on the forum and often (and, in case of the Jokes/Humour Thread, all the time) I see really cringeworthy stuff. This really needs an implementarion of negative ratings. It's probably an easy change, seeing as it's something that can be disabled and enabled, but it would bring a lot of good to,the forums, as now you would have something you can do when something is bad, but not bad enough to warrant a rebuttal. What do you think?
There were negative ratings when the general Rating Sytem came out. But the Negative Ratings got removed, because some people abused them.
You are not giving any evidence, you are saying "this is how it was, believe me". That attitude ain't gonna give you support from me.
Check the first site of this thread and you will see there were negative ratings http://beamng.com/threads/what-do-you-think-about-the-new-rating-system.32787/ Also:
The problem is that this place is like 40% Mature people, 20% Teens that try to be edgy, but fail so they come up as a bit serious, 10% Little kids, 30% Trolls and haters. So having the negative feedback only gives them tools to troll and hate other things.
It's pointless. If you think a post is breaking the rules, report it. If you disagree, reply with your own argument. If it's plainly dumb, enlighten the person who made the post and explain why they are wrong. There is no real use for a negative rating, to be fair. And yeah I do agree the comedy thread is pretty awful, and I came up with a brilliant solution: I don't read it.
