(I already posted about this on the old forums, but can’t find the thread anymore :confused: ) I would really like to see a feature to downvote or dislike comments. I find the comment culture on trakt pretty awful, the vast majority of comments are one-liners like “this show is awful”, or “omg when…

[image] Sharkiller: the same for upvote, using the excuse of “this could be misused from someone bad” is not a good point to not implement basic things. account that mass vote could be easily detected. accounts that mass vote, sure. thousands of accounts with staggered join dates on thousand…

so a strong hypothetical scenario of someone downvoting a review that nobody really cares is a point to not have them. again the same in that case could be for mass voting your own reviews, so remove the upvote…

the ability to silence one’s opinion is much more harmful to the review system than upvoting reviews.

the ability of the mystical scenario than someone can be hurt as excuse to limit people expresion. top reviews are usually garbage for people that think like you.

Thank you for your assessment of what I think of the typically most upvoted reviews. I can say that you’re wrong though. I quite like most of the top reviews I come across.

this is why we need dislike buttons.

I like the current system. The top rated reviews I bump into are often well argued and interesting to read. I’m afraid a system allowing downvotes would incentivize reddit like situations where comments are downvoted because the author’s opinion is unpopular. I think the only value would be to surf…

It will be misused - all one has to do is look at Reddit. In my opinion the upvote is enough.

[image] Yuurei: but on the other hand Trakt community is not that big (or maybe is?) Slightly off-topic but I think it’s hard to tell because Trakt doesn’t really facilitate any kind of social interaction, even though we have so-called “friends” on our profile. You can only actually interact …

In my experience, adding any kind of voting system almost always leads to massive toxicity.
