Agreed, we also need a polling statistic thingy at the top of the thread that lets people register support/opposition/bleh without actually having to post.

If the meaning of a thumbs up is simply support for the topic, for the purpose of gaining the 5% rule, then does this suggest that:
1) The character based thumbs up/down enables people to post 3 times per account.
2) There is no need for a thumbs-down because a thread because no thumbs = no support to force the vote through.
3) A thumb up down mechanism on a OP isn't sufficient, as the OP will just the topic, but doesn't address all the pros and cons listed by people replying.

I like how the thumbs make us think our opinions matter in here at all :D

We have positive placement, I think we need neutral and negative also.

Now to ironically give my thumbs-down topic a thumbs-up

Bad ideas should simply be left unsupported.

No reason in allowing trolls to damage the support numbers on good ideas.

A more advanced (and useful to the CSM) would be support for the views expressed in the posts. So the addition of a thumbs/down option on each post, or a rating system on the thread for useful posts.

Good idea but this would have to be implemented carefully to prevent large corps from nuking any issue they don't agree with.

To further support the introduction of ideas from society members, a forum mechanism will be introduced which allows topics to be ômarked for resolutionö, ensuring that the matter is brought before the CSMCSM. Using their own judgement, Representatives will have the power to mark topics as they deem necessaryùnamely by gauging which issues voters are generating the most debate about. Once a topic is marked, voters will be able to indicate their support or disproval anonymously1. Just as with the general election, the system will also prevent individuals from voting more than once on the topic.

When you raise a petition, you usually just need a person who sponsors the idea, and a supporting vote. You don't go around asking for people who are against it.

But if a thumbs down was implemented it may stop the thread being turned into a free for all with people baiting and de-railing the subject which also is not a petition !!


Umm... forgot to support !!
