Ew. Snot.

I wonder if rule #34 is no exception to "snot"

... x.x ... I don't wanna imagine/know/think.

      Klepar Instead of writing "thanks", you could just give the chapter 5 stars. It still expresses your appreciation, without clogging up the comments section. What about comments like "first", "second", etc.? Are they really necessary?

      But people ALWAYS use the comment section to say Thanks, it's good manners. In like every other novel site. I don't see the point of breaking that habit and honestly I see no end to the Thank you comments ever.

      And on the side of the First, Second comments... Humans like competition, they're foolish in that regard, I understand. But people will always want to be first or second or third or fourth. It's a game to them. And I know it's stupid. But it's like, a rite of passage for some people. "Yay, now I'm part of the F5 sect!!" I see no end to this either.

      Klepar Well, it could be sorted like reddit, with top comments first, but that wouldn't be really meaningful, since most of the comments don't get any likes. I think it'd work fine if the comments were still in the same order, but the "below threshold" comments would be collapsed into a thin line and could be expanded if someone wants to see them. As for the actual threshold, based on the current activity, I'd say if the number of dislikes exceeds the number of likes by 5+, they would be hidden. This would possibly need adjusting if the userbase grows.

      Now I understand what you mean... Or you know what would be cool if there were a sorting setting, you know, so everyone wins... If you want it to be sorted via the likes, then it can happen. That way no one gets to complain.

      The default should be the normal order though, and then you can click a button at the side of the comments tab to change how it's being sorted.

      Would that work for you?

      Klepar A guideline notification upon the addition of the feature does sound reasonable.

      Well I'm glad you find a common ground.

      Klepar Let's be honest, the current forum isn't really equipped for this. Besides, a lot of people often read many chapters in succession, so having to go the forum each time to search for a specific discussion isn't really practical.

      I understand what you mean about the practicality of opening the forum up to discuss, but it actually is a lot easier to work around then the comment section, mostly cause the comment section is very small and tight and doesn't allow for a proper discussion. People also don't normally check the comments very much to respond to others unless they have to for exp...

      makes sure to go back to check what the thread was made for in the first place so I'm not preaching to a choir

      But I understand what you're talking about in general about sorting and disliking... I still feel like it's a bit much to add a dislike button but the sorting would be helpful so that you only see those that have been liked. So I don't see a problem with it as much...

      Maybe what can also be sorted is comments with larger amounts of text, that way those with just one word, like exp, first, etc will be put at the very bottom.

      New sorting options for the comments seem like a better fit, and would make it an optional endervour instead of forcing something down your throats. What do you think?

      add upon editing or a keyword search/ignore thing could be used too

      Klepar Unless there's sarcasm I'm unable to detect, I honestly see nothing good in inflating anyone's egos. You make a good comment — you get likes, you make a blunder — there's always next time.

      Also, I think she was just trying to be funny to liven up the thread after my anxiety-ness.

                  @MichaelChandra adding you since I don't feel like talking about the same thing in two different threads... - x -

                    Cilliez I will read all replies after reading some chapters because I'm experiencing reading withdrawals of pausing in the middle of a chapter.

                        Cilliez Same though. One of my reviews has gotten like, 26 likes. I think of it as my greatest achievement. =//u//=

                        well done my friend, well done

                            Klepar Instead of writing "thanks", you could just give the chapter 5 stars. It still expresses your appreciation, without clogging up the comments section. What about comments like "first", "second", etc.? Are they really necessary?

                            guilty, i've done that before. With a lot of novels that i'm currently reading, there's a competition to get first comment for every chapter. to be first, you have to arm yourself with the notion that the position of first could be stolen from you with just one moment of hesitation. so, most people who are first commenters don't actually read the chapter before they comment.
                            Thus, with no better options at hand, "thanks" or "first" is the best they could do. this, i'm speaking from experience 'cause i've been racking my brain for what to write when i try to get first comment

                                With the addition of a dislike button, you can also run the risk of making commentators afraid to state their opinion. Especially if likes or dislikes change the EXP received. I do agree with the reddit-like comment section tho, with higher voted comments placing higher and replies nested underneath

                                  Cilliez OH GOD NO! Din't you read I'm Really a Superstar? Zhang Ye(the mc) destroy people with his millions of fan! Do you want your cultivation point to be -9999 ?

                                                Klepar I believe criticism is necessary as well, but I don't think disliking a post constitutes as criticism.

                                                    zswaleh maybe you should reply of those "first commenters" and say something along the line of "good for you mthrf&ker, but no body gives a flying f** "
                                                    i think if you drop enough f                                                     bombs :bomb: at them, they'll dislike you too :wink:
