I would like to request that the option to rate each thread be enabled. I discovered this system is already in place- unsure about it's development stage though.
*Enable threads to be voted up or down
*Option to sort threads according to their rating
The following is copy/paste of a few lines of this forum to show this hidden system:

While I appreciate you taking the time to share your view about users policing "bad" posts through karma, this thread is in regard to the rating system currently existing on these forums.
If you do not wish for it to function I respect that. However, I would like to see its effects enabled to add another informative layer for users. -

Anything karma-related in an official forum is never going to work well.
People are not judging posts objectively. If they disagree with something, they will rate it down regardless of how well-written and thought-out the post was. This effectively means that opinions that the majority of posters do not agree with are going to be rated down, regardless of their informative value.
I think that in a forum environment, every opinion should stand on an equal ground, and if someone doesn't agree with an opinion, they should come out and explain why that is, instead of simply hiding behind a karma system and rate down the poster.
Therefore, please Square-Enix, let every opinion stand an equal chance of being expressed. -
03-22-2011, 03:30 AMBudiThe only information you will get will be: how many people (dis-)agree with the post?Quote:

Tells me that no one cares about how other people imagine their character in the game.
Seems pretty effective, too.
EDIT: In fact, you can even sort by either replies, or views, ascending or descending. -

Hey all,
Relevant to the above, one of the new features we're looking into implementing will allow everyone to "like" individual threads.
A "like" button will be implemented for each post. You will be able to click the "like" button, once per post, and the total will be displayed. You can also "unlike" a post that you've "liked", should you mistakenly click the button. We feel this is a good alternative to the typical ranking or karma system.
This will also hopefully assist us in accumulating the best and most constructive feedback for the developers. -
03-29-2011, 05:50 AMBetelgeuzahThe most popular suggestions may not be the best ones!Quote:

Either way, it's better than a negative karma system for sure. -

Everyone prepare to like the hell out of the Triple Triad thread.

Well, it's a good idea, the way the developer's are planning it. You can only go from zero upwards, no going into the negative numbers.
-
03-29-2011, 08:38 PMApricothYes, yes indeed. Although it may work out okay here. SE has a great deal of discernment - let them continue to practice it. =)Quote:

I am seeing troll threads receiving rate ups... I would like to throw out a suggestion that the like feature only be secluded in parts of the forums that matter - like suggestion areas. People being visually rewarded for bad behavior is a teeth gnasher for me. I am sure others would agree. But if it isn't something that can be sequestered to certain portions of the forums, I guess I will have to learn not to gnash my teeth!
Edit Add: Also, a person shouldn't be able to rate themselves up on their own post. That definitely should go out the window if nothing else can be done. -

The like icon looks like a middle finger :eek:

I don't see the "Like" button on Firefox 4 but I do on IE. I'll check back in a bit and open a thread in website bugs if it's not resolved itself by then.
EDIT:
If forum language is set to English(EU) then the Like! button does not appear. -
03-30-2011, 11:45 PMBetelgeuzah
Seems like it. I can't see the like button on English(EU) either. Works on NA though.
