Oh enough with this upvote/downvote crap

These little thumbs do absolutely nothing conducive to discussion. All they do is make threads most people agree with slightly brighter, and threads most people disagree with require one more click so I can actually read it.

And now we have to see them next to the forum topics.

Can we put this stupid Reddit "feature" back in the dumpster we found it in? These thumbs do absolutely nothing to improve anyone's forum experience.

Weren't you the troll that said something racist earlier?

Everything is considered racist nowadays. What does that have to do with this terrible new addition to the forums?
Wow. Negative ten in less than 2 minutes. We're really on the ball today.
I don't know its still feels the same regardless.

I don't want to date black people.


Yep.
Kinda like it myself. 50+ downvotes is a solid indicator to me the thread isn't worth reading. Like those harambe threads.

Maybe the forum moderators should actually do their job instead.

definitely not racist
Speak your mind. Don't be an !@#. Don't worry about up-votes and down-votes.

I just laugh at kiddies that think down/up votes mean anything.

It doesn't matter what you say, some miserable rage kiddy will down vote it just for the sake of being miserable and unhappy.

"What a lovely day to play warcraft" = 10 down votes.
People who get salty over downvotes.
I think it's a nice change. But an even better troll job by Blizz.

definitely not racist


Feel free to go make a "Not wanting to date people from different races is racist" thread. I'm sure sycophants who don't understand what the word "racist" actually means will upvote it.

This thread, however, is about how the upvote/downvote is trash. I don't want to browse Reddit, I want to browse the World of Warcraft forums.
It is a public place m8, if you dont like it feel free to leave.

No, it's not a public place. You have to pay a subscription fee to post here.
Also when did they make the votes visible from the main page? Did that just start today or am I just blind?

You're implying that your race (whatever it is) is superior to another, and thus you refuse to date people from that race. I don't like people spouting "racism" all the time either, but you clearly crossed a line.

As for your OP, quit whining.
Its a dumb feature because people just downvote oppinions they disagree with. All that does is create an echo chamber where people only post when their opinion is in the forum majority.

The game was better without flying and I'm glad blizzard recognizes that.
Funny cause they just patched this. I don't think it's going anywhere.
