If the negative voting is implemented again, perhaps count them for voting user aswell and it should not be anonymous. If you think the post is wrong, your name should be seen to everyone. Perhaps that only people who have responded in the thread can vote negatively. How many of the current fanboys would rate posts negatively if they get made? If the negative votes get counted for the voting user, we can all see the haters.

After reading 50posts in this thread today(most of them were about nothing) I've started missing the old system.. The old system stopped not only useful messages but also lots of unnecessary and sometimes stupid posts..

I'm really fine with this new rating system. I think it'll help the atmosphere on the forum getting better and better. As we play at BuzzerBeater to entertain ourselves, this system will only turn things into positive.
Thanks for the implementation. And hope the BBs will not stop to improve the forums ;).

I don't think the negative votes need to be visible at all, or perhaps only to the voter so they know they need not vote again. :-) Basically, if the voting is used for something constructive such as recommending threads and individual posts, we need a mechanism to correct other people's dumb voting. Currently we actually have the "priority" functionality for threads (which is pretty much totally useless). What I'm saying is the post rating system could evolve into a community driven thread-and-post priority/recommendation system. The current system is IMO a weaker basis for something like that than the old system.

As long as the voting is just a popularity contest side show, I'm fine with having only positive votes. It creates a more positive atmosphere if nothing else.

I think that it is ridiculous that anyone would stop posting in the forums just because of some silly voting system... I mean come on guys what does it change???? NOTHING If a post got removed because it wasn't rated high enough then people may put more thought into what the type in here!!

All I ask for is a system where you can easily find the correct answer to your question... or if there is more than one way to do it then show me... I dont want to have to sift through 500 posts to get only 3 valid points of view.

So maybe instead of rating a post we should focus more on the relevance of the post.. And for thos that care about being liked in the forums we could rate both.. tick one box if it is relevant to the topic and then another box to tick if you liked the post

Actually. Perhaps a combo would be good.

you can like a post or rate that post.

We could just do away with the averages, that might stop personal 1 ball stalkers?

Seriously, the old system was like ......
Some random people was like hanging out on the forums and gave 1 ball to everyone.
So I defently like the new system, but I agree, there should be a negativ button to, but theres come the problem, again, people will hang out on the forum and press the negative button to every post people make :/ (I'm not saying everyone does this) :D

I don't understand why there should the balls, positive or negative. It was a bad idea and I don't see any reason why someone has to "jugde" in negative your posts but also I can live without votes now. We can easily say if someone doesn't agree by written. The forum was so horrible before the balls?
