So you're saying everyone has to use likes in order to unlike.
A sure sign that something is balanced and working as intended.

I believe that forums should have "sage"-like function, i.e. you post without bumping the thread in which you post.

Its because ccp neglected the player base for years and this is a very addictive game with a high level of "me"-feeling (dunno whats the words exacly). So loads of ppl took 3 yrs of bad bad reputation building, neglection and bad negative image and felt treated like ****. In the end the player base are customers and no one likes to be treated like a unwanted customer. Add the tartget group to it, high educuted intelligent people that have good memories and you create over a long period the most unwanted forum trolls full of hate that cant stop playing. And thats where we are now. No one is a born troll, you get made into one. And thats all their fault.

Any market gurou knows that is much much harder to "fix" a unhappy customer than making a neutral customer happy. Unfortualy for CCP, eve's target group is very small and survavability depends on "fixing" the unhappy customers. Besides that, trolling has been intergrated in ingame social mechanic's like in politics. Look at goons who claim "moral wins war's, not fights". They are right in that so people think trolling is a normal thing to do. Look at Kugu, its designed for trolling. Trolling is in eve a normal thing to do. Why? read above again. CCP made it, now it is at a point it is not fixable anymore. Like the techmoon holder's unlimeted isk stash creating game breaking disbalancements for years to come. Funny they find trolling so normal that it affect the entire eve's public image in any player based promotional appearance.... way to go break you own game even more.... dont think they realy want it anyway... lol (that one in funny :PP)

Told you so CCP years ago. You didnt want to listen so meh,

brb got to plex up my other 4 accounts (dont think im playing for this troll fest broken game, right)

Let's inject some risk into the forums and make three buttons, like, dislike and add bounty. To eliminate forum alts change it so that only the pilot on your account with the most time in space, as in the one you undock with the most, can post.

If a dislike button were to be added and some sort of ranking system used where by dislikes purged the thread from the system, I would prefer it be an individual setting that only effects what I see. By this I mean i go into my profile settings and say 10 dislikes will cause a thread to not be displayed. This way I can control only what I see, this way it's more pure content control and not just a popularity contest or some more ******** meta gaming. I mean what happens when two big alliances go to war and they start disliking each others posts? There's enough hate in the game as it is, allowing it to spill over into the forums via a ranking system is recipe for disaster.

You could do this a little easier by just handing out a "Main" tag to every player (not account).
This way you could know if you are dealing with a main or a forum alt and could react accordingly.

Me think you / we should only be allowed to post once pr. half hour pr. player.
As is, its the same xx number of players that post in every thread in here, some times many times in every thread, and many many times they just post nothing of interest to bump the thread and get as high a number in the "posted most time number game".
By only allowing players to post once pr. half hour, the're forced to think before posting. Every post has to mean something.

NB: Should of course not apply for the OP.

More power to the trolls? They will just keep mashing the DO NOT WANT button? Uh... No.

You forget to add "power to the trolls and their army of alts"

Please edit you post and do things right will ya?

People are dumb and don't like to think.

It's a lot easier to toss a meme at a troll than post a well reasoned response to a considered OP.

It's just the way of the net. Love it or GTFO.

If I wanted eve reddit I'd go to the eve reddit.

The forums are fine as they are.


New layout won't stop terrible threads, the source of terrible threads are terrible players. This one being a prime example.
