Forum Moderation - Ratings for Reply's

[Timmeynator]

In my opinion the difference between a good game and a great one is the community.

The developers are doing a great job, but if they don't receive the feedback they might need, things may go the wrong way.

 

This isn't really a problem when something is/stays small, but I think this game might take off pretty fast. As a community we can help by marking the most important bugs, issues and suggestions by voting.

 

If nothing gets done with the data, so be it. But its better to have the data and not need it, then not having it when you do need it.

 

So my suggestion is to add the default option to the forum to vote on any post, not just custom polls, and be able to filter and sort on those options. For inspiration check out the paradox forum or just do what facebook did with their smileys. I do suggest putting in options that deliver usable data (make sure the options are clear in their meaning).

I've been on two forums with rating systems and in both cases the negative ratings were abused and cause a lot of needless drama.  If a rating system were to be implemented it would be best for it to be thumbs up only.  That being said I don't think such a system is needed.  The Devs read the forums.  They can make the call of what makes sense to them and what doesn't.

if this where to be done, i'd keep the rating score hidden to all but moderators.

In my opinion the forum isn't busy enough for this to add anything, and as far as the gratification of seeing your posts all thumbed up, let's not.. It's bad enough on Facebook.
