upvotes has the be the most counter productive feature for a message board.. even "likes" are better than a voting system.

discuss.

that would mean people are making sincere posts and getting downvoted for not being a part of that SR's hivemind

there are bots that are made to downvote posts based on keywords

Reddit is a safe zone for the new generation

When anything even slightly offensive is posted it's likely to be downvoted before you ever get the chance to see it

Inertia, mostly.
It had its "wild west" phase and got huge, while the current "monetization" phase hasn't quite alienated the userbase yet.

Give it time, and we'll see a repeat of Tumblr.

I don't even use Reddit because the massive userbase will make many splintered discussions in one topic that you could never read all of.

So you're accusing me and Alkeez of shitposting? All I did was give an alternative to you that enforced Alkeez's original point.

"Continue this thread" shouldn't go off into to another page.
Reddit is already using AJAX (i think) to pull in the "read more" bits. There's no reason to fracture up comments like they do.

Reddit is basically the anonymous form of social media. You still get the rush of getting likes without anything being tied to your person.

The default behavior of a site should never be "annoy the user".
Someone needs to tell that to Pinterest, too.

I like it, but only specific subs. I avoid shit like All, but for discussion of specific interests, Reddit really can't be beat.

The college football sub for instance, is excellent.

I have yet to browse reddit cause I hate the board layout.

Once gfaqs dies I'll probably never visit a message board again.

Comments with the most up votes appearing at the top rather than the posts appearing in order their posted like here.

If it's anything like how youtubes comments section looks I detest it. Ove just grown accustomed to how gfaqs looks.

To identify detractive or unproductive contributions.

But people just take it to mean if I dont like what I read and it results in wrongful suppression and exclusionary behavior.
