Read below before voting


upvotes/likes would NOT re-rank posts. Post order would remain true. It's only utilities would be to show it's relative popularity (volume of votes), as well as its relative liked/disliked ratio.

As long as it's not like Reddit's stupid circlejerking system, sure. I'm aware that it could attract an alternative group of pseudo-intellectual circlejerkers, though.

That would be abused so damn fast it'd be nuts.

Even if it doesn't do that stupid post-reordering bullshit, there are plenty of unhinged individuals here that I can 100% see making a ton of accounts purely to up/down vote, for their own idiotic reasons.

That's kind of what I meant. There would be an enusing shitstorm of alts, plus actual real people.

Humans are...interesting...in the sense that they tend to erroneously assume that something is true by virtue of how many people believe it. Argument ad populum.

Would I get 5 for every 1 upvote for being a Gamefaqs Gold Member?
