I remember reading about idea of having a feature on the forums, that would allow forum readers to rate posts with negative/positive points. This was shotdown because there is room for abuse: big alliance could silence all posts they dont like.
Why not implement this system in a away that only 1 vote from alliance or corp counts? This would limit the abuse aspect and would give these forums BADLY needed tools for filtering out trash posts.
If score system is not possible, I would then suggest a "ignore" feature, where one could add characters and corps to an ignore list and not have to see their posts on the forums.
Post quality and responses on the General forum area are at the moment in the crapper. There is no nice way of putting it. We need something to filter trough and see the gold nugget posts hiding in there. |

limiting it to one vote per allaince or corp would not work. They would use alts to do the damage, if the alt was on a seperate accont from the Allaince member how would the system know.
I beleive that one of the devs commented and give some additional reasons why they rejected the idea then they were setting up the forums.

The situation in CAOD is getting worse and start to going bad on the General Forums too. Forum Mods need to take a stand an kick some *** to get some order back or everything goes FUBAR step by step and the serious forum-poster will take their discussions to a different forum (SHC for example)
TBH i think the one and only solution is pushing the forum mods into handing out account bans (warning .. 1 week ban .. perma ban) till the situation cleans up. A filter function would empower the forum users but takes away the responsibility from the forum mods to keep the forums clean to some extend.

Ignore feature, kinda signed Score feature, not signed.
There are those constant pin heads that one would just love to not read as they add zero value. As for the score, those same pin heads will click little buttons all over because they think it is fun.
Anyone who cruises the forums enough starts to learn who has something worth reading and who doesn't. I think in some way we all internalize our own scoring system, what may be worth reading to me may not be worth reading to someone else, as so much of this is subjective.
The only issue with ignoring I would have is the data that stores that would be a bunch of cookies on my machine or a bunch of extra data up on the server side. Either way it's going to slow down page renders, and that may not be worth the feature when I can scroll past the silly stuff just as easily.
