Good old Supercell trying to stay hip
Per the announcement on page 1... "It also allows members to show their appreciation/admiration of your posts and give you reputation points. On the flip side, it also allows users to give negative points if your post is not great or if you are being a toxic rudey pants!"
Often we have people who come to the forums and speak for the entire playing community as in "we want this". This system will allow people to either agree or disagree without having to have hundreds of pages of comments and occasional bickering. Imagine what it would have been like last Dec if we had this ability.
Not saying it's good or bad but I do see how it could become a way to "poll" the current atmosphere of the forum without everyone having to make an actual post...
Bad thing is I use mobile site so I can't down vote people. Good thing is I can't see if I get downvoted.
On the positive side it seems to me that this system will not give any special rights, it will just be for "showing off".
However today we already have some wanna-be-Sheriffs running around and I think it will be getting worse. Some people will just be online daily and make use of all their points and have a huge impact on the rating. This could even result in bullying. I think there is a very good reason why facebook (which I actually despise) has only the like button. I think if you are starting a trial, just do it without the negative feedback.
Especially for the negative points, posts in the idea forum should be ignored. As I understand the idea forum is a brainstorming area. If you post an idea, that for some reason is not considered "good" by the always-online-users, you will just crash your rating. Right now without getting feedback from SC the idea forum is already frustrating enough.
