Upvote/Downvote System for the Forums

[TheKingsHills]

I'm not sure if this was suggested before but I couldn't find anything like this so here it goes.

If possible, a Upvote/Downvote system would be nice to have in the forums. Upvotes could be used as a way to show that you liked/support a certain comment/topic/post. While downvotes could show that maybe you don't agree with the said comment/topic/post. And of course with enough downvotes the post could be not shown unless you click the button to show said post. Sort of like how YouTube comment like/dislike system works.

had a facebook like thing and then removed it... not worth it... I think

I don't remember anything but the pesky facebook links.

its a good thought, but i can see down the lines people spamming downvotes, just to piss others off

The facebook like is just showing you like it on Facebook, not on the FWG channell.

There's other forums that do an up-vote system, but they just have the like button to show you agree with them, but there is no down-vote. Similar reason to why Facebook has no down-vote.

I think it's a nice idea.

I remember that this was thrown around a while before this thread, in the form of "Karma". It is actually something that could be added with the phpbb forum, and I think it would be great, as it would be a way to show appreciation of a post without just a 1-2 word reply or something. Just to say, "Wow this post made me laugh or proved a good point" without making an entirely different post for it. It would actually show your karma on your profile, too, with a green number (positive) or red (negative). So say you get three pluses and a minus, and your karma on that particular reply would be a 2. Get it?
