Votes by members and high level player count more than low level non-members. This helps ensure that players can’t use alts to artificially increase their votes. This also gives another benefit to being high level, as every level you gain increases the amount of voting power you have, and there’s no limit.
Curious; what's the formula for the voting power? How much does membership increase on that?
Maybe, but only if things like "a downvoting war with neo-Nazis" happen. Grow up please.
Well said, Ben. This needs to be pinned up and put somewhere REALLY visible in the WarLight forums. If people just have their personal opinion of the poster affect what they consider quality, they're really only weakening the sense of community of a game with little to no sense of community. Rushed decision, at best. Implementation could've been worked better to avoid 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. One reason Felidae posts existed is that we wanted to overshadow Nazis. Now we will just downvote each and every Nazi post so that Nazism disappears from Warlight.
To be fair, as someone who thinks the general mentality of "I don't like this post, it shouldn't exist", I'm not even downvoting classic trolls/obnoxious people such as Squiggles. As for you, Tabby, if you just keep instigating people into downvoting stuff you don't like (and having the bunch of alts that is Felidae do the same), you really need to grow up.
Agreed the only thing that should be hidden is blatant trolling and spamming, not "trolling" - political viewpoints so extreme that they shouldn't even be considered.
No respectably delivered viewpoint (i.e. not spammed, trolled, etc.) is too extreme to consider.
The first part, +1 entirely. Sometimes people just have mindsets that, to someone else, sound completely deranged and bad. But honestly, as long as the person is actually TRYING to explain his views, and not flat out spamming (Tabby/Chatul) or trolling (Karl/Jim) in the proccess, there's no real reason to prevent it.
People who oftentimes discuss politics - while not being aggressive or spammy while doing so - shouldn't be downvoted blindly. A decent example is MGSB or TeamGuns, they're often blabbering stuff I don't agree with, but they'll have my upvote everytime regardless because they discuss close enough from civilizedly.
My only suggestion is to reduce the like and dislike button they seem uncomfortably huge but I like the concept and idea.
I think they're not obstructing much in the terms of aesthetics, really. Their size seems on point for me.
– Fixed a bug in discussion posts that caused links to not be clickable when they multiple links were listed in a row.
Best update, ever. Period. I never really understood why doublelinks just didn't get embedded/clickable.
