Petition for thumbs down button

There are so many trolls these days in PUG. We really need to have a thumbs down vote to send the correct message to those trolls

I would love a downvote button on forums. But then it'd just become reddit and we can't have that now.

The "trolls" wouldn't care if you thumb them down. It's pointless.

... and trolls wouldn't downvote? If a posts trolling then report it and leave it to mods.

Lol have you seen the reddit section for ff? God no, I have never seen so many damn downvotes on any single site before until I witnessed FFXIV reddit.

Talking about this seriously, it's sad, because something like this (or a rating system) COULD be used for good. In Demon's Souls, for example, you could rate a player (S > A > B > C I think it was) that helped you. That way, when somebody went to summon that player, they could see their rating, and know "Oh, that fella is really good. Ok!" or "Oh, that fella has a lot of C's. He probably trolls people." Because of the community on Demon's Souls, this system worked rather well. People rated each other properly (usually).

But to implement anything like that in an MMO? It would be an absolute mess. There would have to be a lot of checks and balances in place to ensure that people do not troll each other, rate "popular" or "notorious" players simply because of who they are, etc.

Considering trolls thrive on negative reactions to their trolling downvotes would do nothing. The best solution is simply to ONLY facilitate positive reactions to positive contributions and allow the negatives to simply go entirely unrecognised. The best way to frustrate a troll is to simply not take the bait...

This is for you and your suggestion OP.

It won't happen simply because people can and probably will abuse it.

This is like asking for the dislike option for Facebook. Look at how that's coming along.

looking at the reactions in this forum, maybe I should just take justice in my own hands

:p
