As an oldtimer this is a bad idea, because then you're pushing upon a mob mentality. BTW, we tried this before and it was discontinued because of said reason

I'll be serious for a moment too. Really seems like something that isn't needed. It's just gonna be used to signal out groups of postera who people don't like. Like the Alex ball washers or the Alex bashers. While you recommend posters here to use this system "correctly," it will realistically just get abused, as this place is small enough where you know every poster and who you like and don't like.

Kind of mob rules in the public forum of debate...could make for petty, like-minded cliques to approve or disprove and member pile-ons.
I'm not going to use it even if I dont like the post...just going to be old fashioned and ignore it. |

We demand greater outrage here at ChiefsPlanet than this commonsensical crap.

See, this all illustrates that I was bang on about the average quality of 200 or so random CP posts

Nobody seems to be using this feature in the general forum.

Game threads move too quickly for this to really be of any use. You might get a couple of people to upvote a post before you're on another page.
The threads immediately following the game might be a good barometer. |

*cough*
In this thread, a yellow border was around a mod post chiding Sweet Daddy Hate, whose post was greyed out. Essentially, the only "in nature" use of this function has HEIGHTENED the drama that people want to avoid. People bitching about how "there's no news here anymore and too many derailed threads" are going to get it way worse when they find that the only important posts that this feature reveals are the ones that are faction against faction. I mean, yes, continue the trial period, but I can predict with a good amount of certainty that this idea will fail spectacularly. |
