@WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL I think it would be great to have a dislike button, and have comments, that fall below a certain threshold, hidden. It would likely help to clear up a lot of the spam for exp in the comments sections.
Add a "Dislike" button.
I think 'mark as spam' button would do nice as well.
Patheror For that to be useful, there would have to be someone moderating, besides, "first" and "thx" comments aren't technically spam, they simply don't contribute anything to the discussions.
Hiding comments below a certain threshold would be an automated process, so there would be no troubles with that.
I support a "report" function, and I think spammers should be banned. I don't think a dislike button should exist though, or if it does, dislikes should be hidden or something.
It would probably be fine, tbh, but pure positivity seems like a better atmosphere.

Klepar why such a negative outlook? here's a creepy af spongebob meme to increase the positivity in your life. we all need it every now and then.
close your eyes and channel your inner optimism to the forefront of your soul. let it bathe you in an atmosphere of rainbow and butterflies, let it calm you and washes away all the darkness within
Miya I'm not trying to be negative, I just believe that criticism is necessary, and there should be some simple way to express. After all, writing up long tirades, about how "thx" is an utterly useless contribution to the discussion, is also pretty useless. People who write things like that won't stop polluting the comment section just because of that. Dislikes as simply way of filtering, not expressing negativity, is what I want.
Klepar Also in another thread where this was discussed, I had noted that- wait sorry I lost my train of thoughts.
By the way, the other thread discussed that there should be a dislike function and that each dislike should remove one exp, and thus one like would equal one exp. Making others more likely to want to put up meaningful comments. But there are issues in this as some people find some comments meaningful and others think of them as useless....
but I'll just ask questions on what your thread is talking about -
Anyways, in what way would dislikes be filtering? Would it show comments with likes first, like a top comment section thing and the disliked ones at the bottom? Or would the comments being disliked be generally removed if disliked enough? And how many dislikes would that have to be? And would there be a limitation to what is allowed to be disliked or not? If someone dislikes something that is just fine, what could be done?
But I agree with Miya disliking comments seem too much... If disliking comments were a thing. I'd feel safer if there were a secure guideline made and enforced by Qidian, stating what a comment being disliked should be used for. And a quick reminder in the notifications when you start your account on Qidian stating to read the comments guidelines, etc.
But anyways, mind sharing what you think it would be?
I think that a cool thing would be if the comments section had categories, like you could use a pull down menu thing, and go to "novel discussion" for actual novels discussions. Or "greetings" for that... That way people can do what they wish to in the comments section... and for serious readers like yourself, if someone puts a greeting into the novel discussion section... then you can dislike to your hearts content.
Although I wonder what that sounds like... oh. The forum.
Klepar After all, writing up long tirades, about how "thx" is an utterly useless contribution to the discussion, is also pretty useless. People who write things like that won't stop polluting the comment section just because of that.
Do people do that, really? Seems pretty rude to be saying a respectful person saying thanks is being a useless contribution... honestly I feel like if people were told that they'd just not feel like being a part of the conversation at all. I wouldn't, at least. got nerves of jellyfish
.... in conclusion ....
I just kinda slapped together a bunch of opinions and hope they make sense. Please don't lynch me.

Klepar spam and trash
and I've become an anxious being
MUST TRY HARDER TO FULFILL WHAT OTHERS BELIEVE TO BE NOT SPAM/NOT TRASH
MUST PUT EXTREME THOT INTO WHAT I PUT AS A COMMENT
MUST NOT FEAR THAT WHICH I CANNOT SEE
MUST NOT COMMENT IF I CANNOT THINK OF SOMETHING WORTHWHILE/NOT BE SCARED OF STRANGERS
must stay at low level forever for sucking at life
-Q.Q-
I apologize meaningfully for the lack of consideration when commenting, "Thanks for the chapter~" or replying to someone "That's pretty funny~" just cause of my anxiety towards people I don't know in the comment section.
and yet i'm just fine in the forum being a weird person... oh well
I will repent.
repents for a long time
takes big strides and flops onto squishy bed, being devoured by the demonic sleepiness
how dare thou take me I say... longingly before my eyes drift away towards the open sea
oh well at least there's cake to eat NOH, NOT MY CAKE. @Neverfire7 HOW DARE U
.....
I'm sorry I lost myself. for a moment.
Cilliez THOT
do you mean tot @Neverfire7
Cilliez I will repent.
repents for a long time
nice touch. it wouldn't be repenting if you don't do it "for a long time"
i agree with @Cilliez on this. disliking a comment is like disliking the commenter personally. it's really great for when you check your notification and saw that you got like 15 "like" for a "tot" you made regarding one of the chapters you just got done reading.
for me, seeing that i get a lot of "like" for my comment, i figuratively pat myself on the back and think to myself "what a queen, only someone as awesome as moi could've written that comment and get that many likes"
Now imagine if the dislike function was activated. i check my notification as usual, saw my "totful" comment got like 12 dislikes or something, i'd probably think to myself "what is wrong with people?!?! can't they see that each of my comment is a masterpiece in and of itself'? finely crafted with the utmost care? why would you dislike such a precious thing?!"
so @Klepar, why would you want people to think that to themselves? it's just much better to have them think they're queen for writing a beautiful comment and getting lots and lots of like. And for the comments that "you might considered as ones that deserve "dislikes"", I feel that we should just overlook them because everybody make blunders when they're writing messages every now and then.
Q.Q sobs into @Miya 's big bo- bo.. books.. being careful not to ruin them though
... although now that I think about it ...
It's best not to be a sensitive child in regards to comments.
repents for past opinions
I will try to be less anxious in regards to comments.
Ya'll are the best, best therap- friends ever
Miya "what a queen, only someone as awesome as moi could've written that comment and get that many likes"
Same though. One of my reviews has gotten like, 26 likes. I think of it as my greatest achievement. =//u//=
Miya "what is wrong with people?!?! can't they see that each of my comment is a masterpiece in and of itself'? finely crafted with the utmost care? why would you dislike such a precious thing?!"
Haaaah, if I were disliked in a comment section. I would repent. Most surely.
I would be asking the dogs.... wait, the gods what I did wrong to deserve this. And meditate to calm my soul...
by meditate I mean read.
Cilliez I thought saying "thx", was thanking the translator for their work...
seems pretty good to do it, imo (???)
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?
Cilliez Anyways, in what way would dislikes be filtering? Would it show comments with likes first, like a top comment section thing and the disliked ones at the bottom? Or would the comments being disliked be generally removed if disliked enough? And how many dislikes would that have to be? And would there be a limitation to what is allowed to be disliked or not? If someone dislikes something that is just fine, what could be done?
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.
Cilliez But anyways, mind sharing what you think it would be?
I personally think that both positive and negative feedback are necessary for a healthy community. If you see a comment that's being disliked for no apparent reason, you can simply balance it out. The majority isn't always right, but it is in most cases. A guideline notification upon the addition of the feature does sound reasonable.
Cilliez Although I wonder what that sounds like... oh. The forum.
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.
Miya why would you want people to think that to themselves? it's just much better to have them think they're queen for writing a beautiful comment and getting lots and lots of like.
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.
