Hello,

I have an Idea for PMC! A Like and Dislike Button. You can use the buttons for saying the User who writes the post if the Post good or bad. If a Post get a like the User who writes it earns some XP. If a Post get a Dislike the User who writes it, lose some XP. You have to write a reason why you Dis-/like the Post. This is to avoid Spam Dis-/Like if you hates an User and this User loses all the XP he had. And if Someone write a reason like this: "sdgduifhsdfhvidufhdh" or "because I can" the moderators are allowed to delete the Dis-/like.

We used to have this, but it got removed because of abuse, or something like that.

All submissions used to have likes and dislikes, but with rampant abuse of the dislikes as a means of revenge, trolling, and knocking things off the popular reel, it was removed.

Plus, moderators have enough work without having to monitor dislike abuse.

Well, if it wasn't abused, it'd be great. I still think its nice though.

I do not want this feature to return, what so ever. The down vote system was flawed to begin with. I would be referring to the troll down votes and abuse of the down vote system in general. Also, I would have to disagree with the moderation of down votes as well, as the moderators wouldn't only be judging/moderating derpy down votes like 'aswswadw', which alone is a big job(Don't forget we have 500+ open reports, most of the time), but we would be judging opinions as well.. No thanks :p

Also, check out this blog where the community ultimately decided to have this feature removed in the first place: http://www.planetminecraft.com/blog/upv ... hat-to-do/
