Karma system in the official forums?

A Helpful/Not Helpful system could definitely allay those issues however.

People would just label stuff they don't agree with as unhelpful, regardless of how actually helpful it is.

If it's blatant trolling, report it. We don't need a reddit like system. WoW's forums used to have one, and it was abused by easily offended people, so they removed it. I fully expect the same to happen here.

I don't love anyone, so my karma must be negative. lol

Let us promote even more of an echo chamber seems legit.

Well, a helpful/not helpful system seems like it'll prevent an echo chamber from forming. What is your opinion?

No thanks to a karma system, certainly not for a forum like this. One thing noticeably absent from this forum is the typical forum nerd herd who roll about the place "policing" it while backing each other up and basking in their own echo chamber. It's been a forum trope for 20 years or more and karma systems feed them.

Also, unpopular people sometimes still make good points and funny well liked people talk crap. Is it really that hard to judge an argument on it's merits?

yes. How dare you make me work. Everything needs to be 1st grade level of dumb moejacks. I dunno... but yeah we REALLY don't need things like - REDDIT, TWITTER, - on here. Leave the facebook and reddit dislikes outta here T.T
