OT Is what it is, a brilliantly random and sometimes mystifying crowd, chatting away at the bottom of the garden then vanishing when the big people wander past....

There should be a second set of rep that recognizes you for sportsmanship and community "service" exclusively to all OT/FG. It'll give us a nice flair and incentive for people to visit. Actually a win win I'm proud of.

People who created alt account for reputation purpose must be ban based on their IP

It will be interesting to see it play out. Gonna have to find finch for my first down vote ;)



(just kidding finchy)

This is a good idea but negative voting can be abused and it worries me a little. For example, engineering and rushing is looked down upon on the forums and if you show support to any of those strategies, I can see the downvotes coming in and there is also the chance of someone hating you enough to follow you and downvote you into oblivion.

I hope it works for the best. I've seen how bad reddits voting system is because of the points mentioned above. Some really good quality posts get downvoted and someone comes in and says "yeah boi" and gets 300 upvotes.

You can see this feature on mobile site? I can not see the upvote/downvote on mobile site. Only on the full site can i see it. This would probably limit me using it or even being aware of it as i would not switch to the full site to upvote something.

I hope it could be enabled for mobile site. It would certainly be helpful for those that use the monile site.

Sounds like the misc

How can it be abused? Someone may figure out how to "Engineer" it so they get 45 greens to your 15 greens.

Sounds like a great system. thank you!

I don't like it.
Someone down voted me and his/her comment was because I was insulting??????
The nature of my comments are not insulting at all!

This is abuse :thumbsdown:

I posted a thread on howmuch time does it take to get the GW to max, and a guy downvoted me saying, “look it up yourself lazy".

Rep system should be scaled to 10 and it should have a weight depending on the type of posts.

"You're cool" +2 upvote (2 weight)

*Big post about deck design in Clash Royale" +20 upvote (20 weight)

now getting repped on the first thing amounts to nothing, but the forum will award you quickly if your thread has a lot of reps because that means the community agrees with you a lot (and your own upvotes/downvotes has better weight) and this solves people downvoting since their downvote carries no weight and will affect their upvotes.

please rep me
