Believe it or not I had this exact idea the other day. I've seen a bit of an increase in rating posts in that section.

As with all you said, if this is possible, I would prefer it be removed. There is a lot of people that "gang" up without actually posting.

There is no reason for posts to be rated there, as everything is decided by the staff and ect, not by the players.

I also find it most offensive and sometimes hurtful for someones ban appeal/complaint to be rated "Funny".

 

I agree with you, although no one has done this to me, it's not uncommon for this to happen and I can see it as being offensive. This would also take about two minutes to implement considering Andrew just needs to edit one node permission for the complaint/ban appeal section. +1

 

Well maybe people should take ban appeals and complaints seriously.

 

I agree, Especially when you have nothing to do with them in the first place.

 

Maybe not and just warn users that do.

 

Not only the person who posted the appeal/complaint but also those that view it.

 

No, just the people post complaints. If the people posting took it seriously then the people reading the complaints might.

 

Not exactly, I see a lot of "teaming" where one person will go through and like/agree all the posts from the defending person. It just needs to be gotten rid of altogether.

 

Users have been banned in the past for participating in a 'Funny' rating trolling, Andrew banned them. Having this would make Complaints/Ban-Appeals a lot more professional.

 

I say the exact same thing as jetscat here and what happens? He gets a bunch of ratings...

 

I got one more then you did... Lol? Maybe I just put it into more understanding terms for someone else. You didn't say exactly word for word what I said.

 

Still...

It always seems you tend to get more...

 

Well, I guess I explain things well for people to understand. :)

 

Now don't go down that road :p :p :p

 

I agree, either remove the feature or re write a few rules

 

I have already included my opinion, but since there has yet to be some rule changes or removal of the feature I will comment again, as I still support this.

 

Getting pissed off at little things won't strengthen your point.

In my opinion, I don't think we should adjust anything, people should simply ignore the ratings. Let people be trolls, it's free ratings for you.
