A lot of forums have polls for their topics. I think it would make it easier to see if something is liked, disliked, or anything else. Rather than posting +/-1, we could just chose one in the poll.

There could be an automatic poll added to any thread in the suggestions forums, for seeing who likes the idea. The best thing about this is that OOO could sort the number of likes by poll, and then they wouldn't have to sift through so many junk suggestions when they want to find ones that players like. I think having polls would make the forums a much nicer place to use.

If there was a poll for this thread I'd give it a +1.

Take a vote, make an alt,

Take a vote, make an alt, take another vote... false pool results.

Also popularity =/= good suggestion

In internet there is a growin trend to 'like' things not because they are good, well created but because they are funny, stupid, someone was made enough to post them and everyone is laughing 'omg what an idiot' and since you can just click on pool like/dislike noone sees whad you voted so there are no consequiences of your action.

I admire your skepticism, but

I admire your skepticism, but I'm very sure people here are mature enough to dislike the idea and explain why. To those who uses alts like people liking on FB, they will be mowed down by the mature forumites' rage.

"but I'm very sure people

"but I'm very sure people here are mature enough to dislike the idea and explain why" yeah sure, im sure they will care to explain everything after they just clicked vote, the sole point of vote is to not need to write anything beside just clicking 'yes' or 'no'

"mowed down by the mature forumites' rage" yeah, especially when nobody will know who voted on that

"people here are mature enough" you must be new here...

My only answer to this?

Kay. Of course i can't really do much to tell you otherwise. People in this thread has opinions and you have yours. You go against the notion and I tried to justify the idea. But again, can't do much.

So yeah. I lose i guess.

Hurr

Asukalan is right, the majority of our community is too immature to realize the world does not revolve them; notice how very few users are on the forum yet countless users play the game. Several times such users have stopped by to give selfish requests only to be shot down and run away crying.

Is a poll system a bad idea? No, but it would not work for our particular community.

IDK

But I think the ones who actually shot them down are at least bright enough if not mature. But i guess you're right. Maybe i thoughts are a bit clouded, seeing that i dont see far too many 5-year olds running around on the forums.

-1

The forum admins decided not to integrate Drupal's built-in poll feature; I'm sure there's a reason they did so. Maybe it was bandwidth-intensive, maybe it wasn't quite what they wanted.

Regardless, I think the precedent has been set that they don't want a poll system, and I tend to agree.

YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A CAR ACCIDENT.

Yeah, this would just add a way for people to dislike or like something without explaining why. So -1.
