Having more than 1000 likes shows me you spend too much time on the forums, and are thus not a well rounded individual - likely full of bad ideas, just like the one you are proposing now.

... this is starting to look more like a 9

Maybe I am Captain obvious here again, but you do realize that the underlined letters in OP's first post are T R O L L ?

And the bold letters in his second post are S T I L L A T R O L L

just sayin'......

About half the likes I have come from a proposal I posted here. How does one get likes when they aren't allowed to post the ideas people like?

Wrong.



Having 1000+ likes makes you one of the best poasters.

Wrong.

Having 1000+ likes makes you one of the best spammers in the likes and get likes thread.

And since you posted in there twice in the last 24 hours alone... I rest my case.

So I'm going to have to say no to this one.

-1, burn it with fire and stuff.

It's hardly spam when there are multiple conversations going on. Nice try, but try harder, bumbaclot.

Sounds like a plan provided:
- Circle jerk "likes" are ignored (ie. any likes by current or former corp/alliance members).
- Fishing "likes" are ignored (such as the "post to get likes" thread).
-- Repeated and consistent fishing earns fisherman a forum perma-ban.
- "Likes" are removed from COAD altogether.

Otherwise, no.

The proposal is as thread title.

Surely only proposals should come from those members of the community whose words have been peer-judged to be awesome. This would have the pleasantly double-edged effect of

i) only allowing aforesaid awesome posters in suggesting only the best ideas

and

ii) giving those deemed not worthy by the like system scope to buck up their ideas, pull themselves together and become more like the cool kids.

In the interests of paternalistic concern, however, under this system everyone would still be able to vote on the threads of their choice, as present.


What do you say? Show your support!

For this to happen the Feature and Ideas Discussion forum would need to be more trafficed. A lot of the threads posted here really belong over in FID. The Assembly Hall tends to get flooded with unrefined ideas that people just whip up and get excited about (I am guilty of this myself). 1000 seems really high though, maybe if it was something like 200 I would support this proposal.

To be fair,

Only CSM should be allowed to start threads in the Assembly Hall. The general population can discuss idea in the Idea and Feature section. And Lyris is just as much a troll as everyone else, 10000 likes or not.

The last time I posted an Idea....was before this forum board was even activated...and I can count on one hand..less than even... as to the number of times I did that....maybe at most 4.


As for likes itself... who the #### said they would be a measurement of ones worth to make proposals?

all you've proven is your the least of these.

Likes is nothing more than "e-honour" and doesn't mean a damn thing other than someone giving you props for a indivdiual post.


Ideas require you to use that thing they call grey matter in your thick skull.... something you seriously lack in material...and use.

To top that off....your just being an @$$ in this grand standing. Nothing short of pathetic troll posting....a complete waste of time.

Dear Sir;

While it would be beyond my good manners to say so directly, I have read other people express negativity towards your posting style and I cannot help but notice that this particular post is illustrative of a few elements which could very easily be the cause of that. Please do not take my words unkindly; I am from the Internet, and I am here to help you get better if you will let me. If you re-read what you have posted, you will notice a sort of wandering and disorganized style to what you have said; moreover, you go for the cheap, low-brow insults that no one finds endearing or entertaining. If you would permit me to be so bold, might I suggest that you frame future posts in the form of paragraphs, and that you either use separate paragraphs or individual posts to deliver each stinging insult? Alternately one could be more kind to one's fellow forum users and abstain from direct insults entirely, which is the route I elect. You might choose to focus your arguments directly on your detractor's own claims, rather than engaging in an ad hominem against him; this will not only keep you from being labeled a nasty man but will also positively label you as someone who has a smattering of knowledge concerning the proper construction of a rhetorical debate.

All my love,
~Lyris

How and where do you draw the line from "circle jerks," to "this guy is an amazing poster"?

I support this proposal! It is a fantastic idea!

I am going to start "liking" all my posts with my 5 alts now so I can be ready for the change!

/sarcasm

No...

Lucky no one cares what you think!

Likewise.
