I say this is a must.
1. It exposes trolls
2. It stops people posting needless comments in topics
3. Easier way to agree with a comment
4. We can see how biased boards are... left or right wing

Lol, no on social boards at least.

Too many trolls will just downvote everything, for the luls.

A voting system would accomplish none of these things; it would effectively transform GFAQs into a tyranny of the majority where unpopular opinions are systematically silenced.

The moderation / karma system is bad enough and serves effectively the same purpose.

No, I don't want my posts to all be downvoted because they aren't reddit tier positivity. Some of the funniest posts on here are low effort snarks or just random shit. On reddit posts tend to get downvoted if they don't "make sense" or don't fit into a particular way people expect posts to be. Even if posts aren't sorted/hidden based on votes, it still will affect people's perceptions of that post.

No, it's a terrible idea with no positive impacts. It's a failed shitty feature on Reddit and it'd be no better here.

No. The SJWs and crybabies will downvotes everything they don't like until it's buried or deleted. That's what ruins some sub reddits and turns them into a circle jerk

As I've said before there should be a like and dislike feature but it should never effect the order in which posts appear

why does this topic keep being brought up? it's a fucking stupid idea

stevethewindow posted...
1. It exposes trolls

no it creates echo chambers and nothing else

legit people who happen to hold an unpopular opinion are going to get buried away

stevethewindow posted...
2. It stops people posting needless comments in topics

no it creates an environment where its the same "witty" jokes told over and over because fucking clowns keep upvoting them each time since every1 seems to crave upvotes so badly

stevethewindow posted...
3. Easier way to agree with a comment

how fucking lazy are you? click the quote button then post jackass

stevethewindow posted...
4. We can see how biased boards are... left or right wing

this makes no fucking sense

Yeah, this. Just because an opinion is positively viewed by a lot of people - lol, that doesn't really mean shit in the scheme of anything.
