Let's disable chat too, it will stop the trolls!

You see my point? Removing ratings isn't a magical solution. All it does is inconvenience some people. It won't even stop the trolls. They'll just use optimistic and useful instead. "but kuke, those can be removed too" Well, yes. But then people will use potato and friendly. "But kuke, those can be removed too" And then we're back to my first point. It will inconvenience users more than it will prevent trolls. You can not prevent trolling, you can only punish the trolls.

 

-1 People can be creative some times and deserve a creative rating.

 

Alright, I'm just going to respond to all this nonsense about whether ratings are "harassment".

If ratings are indeed harassment, why not remove the optimistic rating, the potato rating, the creative rating, the informative rating and the friendly rating? All of those ratings can be used negatively. And so can anything else; Let's remove the /pay command because people will spam other players with it! Let's remove the PM command because will harass players in private with it! Let's remove the nickname feature because people will use it for impersonation, flaming and harassment! The whole point is, People will find ways to abuse Every. Single. Thing.

Saying that we don't need ratings because of this so-called "Harassment" is ridiculous. People will always find ways to harass and troll people. It's what people like doing, unfortunately. People are smart. They can find ways to abuse things.

I like ratings, and so do many others. After returning to the server from a 2 month "break" if you may, I found the new ratings much more enjoyable compared to the old three rating system of like, agree and friendly. Yes, that's right, some people, like me, enjoy ratings. They can be fun, entertaining and most of all new ways to get more positive rating points. :p

We must be realistic. People will find ways to abuse and troll with almost anything. However, I like many other users enjoy what these features have to offer, such as nicknames and ratings. And we shouldn't let this nonsense get in the way of the whole suggestion.

Originally a post by mine in another thread that involved ratings,

 

+1 we should also disable ECC to make sure it is not trolly

 

@SuburbSomeone had a legit creative post.

Let's just remove all ratings, that'll solve your problem. Kuke hit the nail on the head.

 

What a trolley.

As for the suggestion, -1

 

Just because you don't think it does any harm doesn't mean it should be done. It won't improve the situation, so why change it?

 

Just look at all the creative ratings in this section ._.
I do like the rating, however.

 

Dat was meh oh sowwy

I thought this idea was an innovative solution to an issue that I have once in a while.

 

Honestly this sounds like the best solution.
To the suggestion, -1 for reasons already stated.

 

why?

 

The most uncalled for thing? It's really not that bad.

 

What? You're really creative mate.
