But it also lets people to be more negative, because now where is no negative estimation/the dislike button, former one ball.


From my experience it seems like the most negative posters are unaffected by low posting votes. My assumption is that it just makes them more negative.

If people already don't like your posts and you are negative then negative feedback is just as likely to make them worse.

I am starting to agree with the people who said that this just encourages people to post. You just have to look at Naker. While he does give good advice from time to time, I do find what he says to be hit and miss. Yet because he posts so often, he is almost certainly going to lead the ball race from now into the foreseeable future.

Although, it is nice to see someone with so much enthusiasm. So I guess it is all good.

(PS Just to be fair: you could just as easily swap my name for Naker's and this post would still be true!)

I agree with your assessment of Naker, but he was posting on Every. Single. Thread. even before the new rating system came out, so I don't think this has increased his post frequency as much as one may think. Of course I don't have data to back that up, though. :-)

This is half a Pro Naker vs Against Naker thread.

I'm very much a fan of the new system. Well done to those who thought of the idea!

Most pieces of advice by everyone are opinions. So while you feel the advice might be a "miss", someone else might think it is a "hit". My point is that I am just offering an opinion on what I think is a good way to go and what has worked for me and allowed me to make my way to div 2. No one has to follow the advice given :)
