allenguarnes Yeah I'm scared of people being able to dislike comments because if that does account for -1 exp, people could just go ham on that and ruin everyone elses time. Maybe person A really hates person B so he dislikes all his comments all the time even if he's writing them well. I mean who are we to even judge what a good or bad comment is really? If someone goes "first" or something, that's always been a thing that people like to do and I don't think judging them for it is bad. Now if people go like "exp" "exp" "exp" (which I've been seeing a LOT of recently, and I made a stupid joke about it somewhere) then I think what should be done, is maybe... "flagging" - although I would HATE to make Qidian have to go through stupid comments to decipher whether one is bad or one is good. I think that the majority of people will be decent, and there may be some that won't be, but I don't know if that's just human nature. And can that really be completely fixed? ------- now aside from my super philosophical talk... if there is more accountability, and you lose your liking and disliking privilege.. in any given time, I think that liking should't need to be a privilege, because when you like someone elses comment then that's making connections with the community. The dislike function, is very troubling to me, because there are lots of loop holes and scary things. I would very worried that someone would dislike my comment for no reason, maybe just for saying my opinion because some people are like that. Now whether that removes an exp, I think that deserves a lot of thought as well, because like they said, people could gang up on others and whatnot. I think if you get uhm... maybe 5 or so dislikes, from different people of course, maybe then you lose an exp. Because then it's not just one person that's saying that it's bad. It's multiple people. And then you could then say that only a certain leveled person could do it. And when you lose one exp, I think Qidian should send you a notification about how you lost exp and how not to lose exp, and how to report unfair dislikes. There should be a clear line where one doesn't get disliked. And maybe then, it would be okay. But even then, it would be very troublesome for Qidian and maybe we as a community should learn to be okay with the stupid "exp" "first" "second" comments. If it goes down further to let's say abusive comments, then flagging would be more of use than just disliking. Wouldn't you say? I actually am saying these all without the knowledge of such a function existing because there hasn't been a reason to use it yet. Thankfully. (Sorry for my AWFULLY long rant on this certain subject.)
and a quick thing, maybe if there is a flagging option, you could flag the comment for inproper usage of the dislike button, and then Qidian can check if it's really inproper... and if it is, like he's just saying his opinion, but he lost all those exp, then Qidian could remove the dislikes he got and give the exp back. But that's just saying IF qidian would ever take the comments that seriously. which honestly i doubt they would. but if they did. that would be a good addition.
