Even the 'last reply' thread with thousands of posts is hidden...

Then it looks like that thread needs to die. Upvote it if you think otherwise.

"last reply" topic is a perfect example of spammy forum game that IMHO deserves to be hiden as low quality. Given that it was downvoted into disapperance it seems that my opinion was shared more widely.

For me it is proof of how voting succeded.

Wally Balls Law of the Internet: If you use an example to illustrate your point, people will ignore your point and argue about your example.

All of these are hidden...

What's a vote?

Can you link ones worth keeping? Many are obviously terrible from title alone, some are potentially good but it depends on the content.

Can you link ones worth keeping?

No. See: Wally Balls Law of the Internet.

The point is not if you can argue over any specific thread that I link. When 70% of the first page is hidden, something is broken. Clearly not all of those deserve to be hidden. It's just a forum that naturally has a lot of controversial topics.

OT needs a high threshol, just saying.

IMHO it is result of low quality of threads. Hopefully now that the worst content is discouraged forum quality will improve, what will result in most threads visible.

For now people are still recreating downvoted threads just to see getting them downvoted again. Hopefully people will learn that the low-quality is not welcomed. It depends on what will be downvoted - at least for me now it works quite well.

My diagnosis is that it is not voting that is broken but content.

It would mean that off topic forum contains solely terrible threads that wide majority of voting Warlight players prefers to be gone.

Like unfunny threads with alts talking to each other.

Nobody has told me what a vote is. I'm a 5 year old boy new to the internet who has never heard of this voting thing before. Are you going to deprive a 5yo from the knowledge that is the fundamentals of our modem society? For shame.

Hi Genghis,

I see you are having trouble understanding voting.

This is voting:



When enough people other than me do that, your post will be hidden.

Hope this was helpful to you.

King regards,

Anywho i already say this update had no idea where it wanted to go or do.

Instead of hiding posts, maybe, you could just let certain things get downvoted to hell. Or just have a separate option where you could flag for spam and let a mod look at it.

As it is, ridiculous amounts of threads or posts are hidden just because people disagree with it or sth. I think it's just silly that you can have a bunch of alts (levels don't counteract this whatsoever) and just hide any post or thread.

People already seem to do this, just downvoting everything.

This is not 2013 forums, it's 2k16. And in an attempt to wall off the trolls you're just feeding them bro.

So if i downvote your post and a bunch of other people downvote it as well, whatever divine thing you had to say is sealed away from the average forum commuter and shoved into obscurity? Seems legit.

Ps I'm already just downvoting everything since there's no reason not to.

People are not just downvoting everything. maybe everything from certain persons but surely not everything.

feel free to downvote all you want genghis, your Level is not super high anyways so your vote has not much weight

I agree with Genghis

It's really annoying seeing that, just check out the thread that Fan made; he had an insightful first post and it was ruined.

Ben, was it the forum Game? Thanks for the compliment

None so far appeared, all mentioned are easy to fix.

And it is better than what was before.

Why not just have a separate forum to put the stuff that is downvoted enough? People who downvoted it dont have to see it on the general/OT/Help/etc. forums anymore and the people who do want to look can just go to that section of the forums
