All this does is create opinion bubbles where “everyone” agrees, which just creates greater divides because both sides think everyone agrees.
Go out in RL and find a FOX Zombie (Person who follows FOX News) and have a conversation with them…
Opinion Bubbles are bad.
Very constructive. There have been constructive responses, and I’ve tried my best to respond to them and hopefully convince those people.
Very constructive.
We’ve all wasted many paragraphs telling you why this idea is bad.
Even a CCP rep chimed in to echo those reasons.
We’ve tried our best to respond to you and hopefully convinced you.
sorry, I muted most of the toxic people on the forum.
Yet some people answered in a constructive way. You should focus on those people, instead of focusing on the people whose sole goal on the forum is to be little shits.
And I’ve also spent a lot of paragraphs explaining why I think this idea is good? No reason to get angry just because you can’t convince me.
It’s not a good idea…that’s already been proven.
So basically you dislike the idea of people being muted, and you’re trying to mute me by telling me that my opinion is incorrect and it’s already proven? 
Sounds contradictory at best
Sounds like you don’t know what you are talking about so now you are playing (badly) word games.
Since I also grew up surrounded by western ideals, I’ve decided that the previous idea was a bit too controlling, and changed it so nobody’s ideas are limited.
Now, karma only functions as a measure of how often someone comes up with unpopular ideas. It does not affect forums posting, but people can check your karma and use it along with their own judgement to decide if they think that specific person’s idea is sound and valid.
So you want people to see that something has been voted as negative by alot of others and bandwagon to think its bad as well?
Take a wild guess. A stupid idea remains a stupid idea even if you continu to argue about it. Time for you to really ■■■■ off.
You never explained why you oppose my idea though, I think it’s pretty sound and valid
Yes. I would find something like this very helpful actually. Currently, most of my responses towards other forums users are dictated by how often I see their names on forums, how often I agree with them and how often I disagree with them.
I’m more likely to agree with and try to defend someone’s ideas if they consistently post other ideas that I agree with. However, right now I simply memorize the names of people that I know will post ideas I disagree/agree with and act accordingly. Karma would be a nice QOL update to forums.
I understand that it’s kind of mean and illogical to base people on precedents, but a nice anecdote would be if you would rather trust a close friend or a serial killer with your life. Your close friend might suddenly want to murder you and the serial killer might have a change of heart, but you will probably judge based on precedent
no lmao
The textbook definition of a thought-bubble. You just showed precisely what is wrong with your ‘idea’ and yet you still require explanation?
So what you are saying is that you don’t want to use your own experiences to guide your own behaviour but instead let the wider group tell you who is popular (or uses enough alts) and then just follow whatever is popular for how you interact with people?
And… that you think group popularity dictating behaviour is a good idea?
Is there something wrong with that? Is there something inherently bad about people jumping onto the bandwagon?
Yup. Majority rules, sounds pretty democratic and fair to me.
Never underestimate stupid people in large numbers.
^ lol, thinks polls and posts matter…
