Let's vote on: Up- and downvotes

[Vidcom]

Hey all. So the idea of using an up/downvote system on the forum has been bounced around a bit lately, and I wanted to see what you guys thought of it. The poll numbers will be a strong indicator to whether we implement it or not

To those unaware, up/downvotes are a common system, found on YikYak and Reddit. The idea is that every user can vote a post up or down, and all posts are ranked in a list based on this. Each user can only give one up OR downvote per post, but can use as many as they want on as many posts as they want.

In Suggestions in particular, this will be an excellent method of telling of what you guys think of a move, rather than what this one CD thought via a prefix, as is the current system. There is also a possibility of adding a Gold feature, where you pay for what is basically a super upvote.

If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask. Remember to state your opinions in the poll!

i feel like this would be good for replies to forums, since polls can easily do the job of this.

I'm happy to donate but the gold thing is really ridiculous and could heavily upset suggestions and could turn out to be pointless.

I imagined it meant @Gold couldn't vote.......I voted he couldn't XD

I honestly prefer the like system currently implemented. One thing with upvotes/downvotes, it's very much based on opinion and can also be very negative. That's just my opinion though

The gold idea, however, is great. Awesome way to support PK

After seeing that sentence, without a thought I gave it a Yes vote on this suggested idea system. Might as well explaining more in depth about Gold feature, as I just gave a vote while not seeing "including Gold" along the vote, which I don't if it's a good thing to have, because I still didn't get well what the gold feature would be like.

Although I would love to bully all of you and downvote your stupid posts, I wouldn't like to see it added to projectkorra. Users would be reluctant to post the un-favorable opinions to avoid downvotes, and those opinions would never be heard.

Bullying is rude, stupid, annoying, horrible, mean, awful, dumb, pathetic, pessimistic and a pest.

Lets add the table "give a reason" after voting, so whoever is in charge of the forum could accept the vote so to prevent from trolls with multiple fake accounts give down votes for purpose, or people that don't like that person who originated the idea gonna dislike it because of him, or the other things that people give downvotes that isn't related to the main idea/suggestion. Same goes for up-vote.
