Those icons are too big, but the idea seems worth giving a try. Propably will quickly downgrade to another troll food though.

I will definitely abuse these buttons much :3

Belgium is a relevant country

(see how many downvotes I'll get)

It's another "please vote objectively" even-though-no-one-will-do-that-because-opinions-and-viewpoints are-subjective-by-nature scheme.

Enjoy bland, agreeable but un-insightful posts floating to the top and controversial posts being hidden.

This is a really good way to stop/reduce the amount of low quality content. Nice work!

I like these changes very much, and I saw it coming. Fizzer is working on improving the forums to make it more enjoyable. If everything you say gets hidden, maybe it is time to abandon Warlight and move onto like nazi.com or something to talk politics.

Also, I really hope saying "Downvoted" similar to "Blacklisted" does not become commonplace, I will downvote you every single time you do that, because:

1. It's a low quality post, which is what downvoting is supposed to reduce, you are contradicting yourself.
2. It's really annoying seeing that, just check out the thread that Fan made; he had an insightful first post and it was ruined.

It's as if a well-known proxy strategist would have asked for this update. ALLAH will dominate these forums now!

This is gonna end in a huge disaster. I see it coming.

^ I sniff it too.

This is gonna end in a huge disaster. I see it coming.

Maybe, but only if things like a downvoting war with neo-Nazis. happen. Grow up please.

Benjamin, you have to see the darker embodiments of this. It could end up as a dislike war between ranters. It will happen unless Fizzer updates it

@Benjamin Felidae has no intention to dominate the OT forum. In fact we will post less. Instead we will start a total war against the neo-Nazis on this site, downvoting every single of their Nazi posts.

"Be careful not to let your prejudices affect your voting"

This hs gotten way out of control. 10 threads are blocked!

not out of control! it is more under control now.

I don't like the hide thread feature it gides poor threads sure but they are still there. If the hidden threads were removed or moved and the threads before the hiddens ones moved up to the normal amount of threads per page it'd be better.

My comment got hidden. This is what I said:

Rules for Voting:

All players should vote based on whether or not you think the WarLight community will find the content of the post interesting, enjoyable, or useful.

So... what you said was not interesting, enjoying or useful.

System works, nothing to see here, move on.

How much votes does it take for a post to be hidden.

I'm not seeing this going in a good way imho

The only good thing about hiding posts is when someone makes a 5000 line post. But normal ones, I unblock to see what was said. So it's only extra work.

as this thread Shows, it seems to work so far. anonyms Posts are to a big part hidden. a step in the right direction

But I really want to know more about the whole vote power system. Like the actual power of each level and membership.
