Upvote and reply

[p_consti]

Add a button to upvote chapter and forum comments. Alternatively a "i agree"-button would also be nice, since right now you either have to write a new comment and tag the person or just silently agree without telling the commentor. Such a button would improve the community aspect in my opinion.

Create a reply-functionality in a similar way to mentions but as a link to a specific post.

as per the sticky thread "Planned and Rejected Features: Read Beforehand" above, both post reactions and a reply button are planned, though according to staff reactions it seems that discord-style reactions are preferred over a single unary/binary system.

Not sure about replying, but upvotes in comments has been suggested and shot down many times before. I think the rationale was to prevent people commenting things for the sake of farming internet points.

Upvote and Downvote / Disqus things are hard rejected already. It just generates a toxic environment focused on getting those upvotes. Its why Snapchat is hiding the Likes from regular people

@p_consti I'm against upvotes, they change forums into popularity contest.

 

[shouldsleep]

An,I agree button doesn't contribute to the discussion and the upvote system makes everything a popularity contest.


We don't need a reddit system in this forum.

Having an upvote/downvote system, and potentially even seeing what comments people make on their accounts would be interesting.

At minimum, I would like a system that allows more interaction between comments, and something to the effect of discord-style reactions would be nice as na overall trend. (Plus with discord-style reactions, you can make defacto up/down votes just by using an "up arrow" emoji or a down arrow emoji.)

I'd kinda like to see a two-day comment ban imposed on anyone who starts a new thread with this suggestion.

People should read the pinned thread, and if they truly want to restart discussion on any rejected idea, including the absolutely rotten idea of upvotes/likes/downvotes, then they should dig-up an old thread on the subject and make a new comment to it.

@Oeconomist i read the pinned post and did not find this idea but maybe I just overlooked it. I'm sorry if that's the case, my bad.

@Tamerlane this might be even better, I would love to see that!

I honestly want a like/dislike system just for the sake of seeing terrible people get downvoted to oblivion. But maybe that's just my inner sadism.

@AbyssalMonkey I was thinking about that time EA or some other AAA company gets -240k for their comment on Reddit for promising better experience by having its gameplay as p2w as possible.
