yes but that’s why a forum is there: people can post their ideas. Others can discuss. Others can read the discussion and get the pros and cons. Specially in eve, where very different people, doing different activities, will have to take into account the consequences of one idea on people living in wormholes or in hi sec, doing trading or pvp etc Eve forum is not reddit. If you want to make it like reddit, then just remove the forum, use it only for announcements from devs and all discussions and up/downvotes will be on reddit But should i say that i learned much more reading posts on this forum than on reddit? ---

Yes, I think we’ve noticed that. ETA: It would also result in posters who are explaining how the game is, getting downvoted by those who howl and rage because PvP happened. ---

> [@Nepsy](#): > > That doesn’t do anything though. Nobody really cares if you think the idea is bad, there’s no negative for me if I post a stream of bad ideas onto forums What exactly do you think it will do? As a developer I can tell you, nothing. I’m not going to waste my time on that clique ■■■■. Every customers opinion is worth exactly the same no matter how many likes or dislikes they have and I have yet to see a change control meeting where we followed the, lol, **votes** from the customers. Every person in those meetings has 50 things they want to be next. ---

We need ISDs that actually care about quality of discussion. And Mods who will ban people for constant breaking of the rules. Having experience from some actually serious forums, if these would have to be moderated like them, half of the most frequent posters would be banned. ---

Exactly, since your opinion means nothing I’m free to post random garbage to forums. Is this what you want? The same dumb ideas appearing again and again? ---

Well, since you would need at least 50 upvotes you can’t post random garbage all the time without losing your ability to make new posts ---
