Jesus, the forum was not letting me send that but apparently it sent it like 4 times in the amount of time I was trying. WHOOPS. That was so confusing. Anyways... uhm on the line where I was saying that people could just copy and paste silly things... I see some reviews where they're like "here's a recipe for lemon pican pie." and I'm just thinking, what does that have to do with anything? But PEOPLE JUST BE LIKING IT. It has nothing to do with the novel, but they love it anyways. And in a way, I don't mind especially much cause it's just people being weird and I love weird people, but if they just get exp like CRAZY, then everyone is gonna fight for that pleasure, and look for the next big weird ass thing that will get them a lot of exp. Anyways, that's just my thought process.

Cilliez I think that there shouldn't be a scenario where you can lose exp because it is a lot easier to make someone dislike you then like you, and I personally enjoy posting hot takes about novels so I wouldn't want to be punished for that.

The main problem with the current leveling system is that it incentives thoughtless comments and I think that by making it likes=exp it would at least make people think more about their comments.

    Honestly, this system is far more exploitable and spammable then the current system. I could make 50~ accounts and just post something like 20 comments and if I use every account that's 1,000 exp in just a few hours, hell I could do it even faster with just bots and instantly make lvl 5 characters all the time. There'd be no incentive at all to level up.

    Levels are more seen as a dedication to the site thing then a honor thing.

    There are only 5 levels as of now. I'm sure they have made plans on how to progress already since a majority of the users here are close to level 4 already.

      allenguarnes That is not just here on QI, everywhere that you see a new post by any translation group, there will always be people doing that thing. Heck, even I was doing that sort of thing when WW and GT were the only sites to get good novels and I would spam f5 for a chance to post first. It sort of became a game, but there was no exp or any incentive to do so. Only did it because I liked that novel at that time.

      UnluckyDude Same thing that I said above.

      allenguarnes Still people will be able to rig this easily. Just mass creating temporary email account (accounts are only checked while verification) level each account for minimum basic privileges and use each account to like your main account. Using a password manager would just make it a one click login and a one click like thing.(I am not counting bots as making scripts is still not as widespread as doing it manually) Not saying that the Idea is bad but if we are to improve some deficient system then we should remove all the deficiencies as on a website of this scale iterations while improving should be kept minimum.

      Cilliez I am with you on this.

              My concern with adding it would be that the ‘haters’ would just do the ‘dislike’ just to be jerks. I don’t normally come to the forum but I came to see how to deal with guy bullying numerous authors on a daily basis. I saw this post and thought of him. This kind of person would have a field day with a dislike button. You have no idea how discouraging and hurtful it can be. This should be a positive environment as much as possible.
              I think they need to make it easier for us to report people who are abusing the system. But proper rules need to be set up.

                  Am3lia I am don't like spam but if someone doesn't like something they should be allowed to show it. If the person chooses to perform these bullying actions over and over without provocation or has been asked to stop then qidian should suspend or ban them. If someone is spamming they should also be suspended or banned. If someone has multiple accounts to circumvent a ban, they should be banned.

                      Neverfire7 lol, anyways. I do agree with you guys it be cool if they did implement that for gaining exp.

                          To Above Poster, this thread is quite old and it never happened, so you shouldn't carry too much hope.

                          It's pretty unlikely. As mentioned above, it's too easy to exploit such setting.
                          WebNovel, having originated from China, "The Mighty Land of Da Trolls", shouldn't be as naive as to implement this and then just expect their community wouldn't be huge A-holes.
