We get block and badges instead of the up/down vote system everybody has been asking for.
Downvotes are exclusively detrimental to discussion. Especially on a board like this, where opinions (especially political) strongly lean in one direction. It's too easy to stifle the minority opinion by downvoting it to oblivion. People already abuse the block feature, do you want them abusing downvotes, too?

I think it can be argued that upvotes can be negative too. People on Reddit oftentimes try way too hard to farm for upvotes using the same generic jokes or comments in a lot of threads.

Upvotes and downvotes are like any other tool.

When used properly, all is well.

The problem is that people have too much ego.

If everyone only downvotes trolls, Gamefaqs could handle it just fine.

But that's a pretty huge "IF".

If everyone could only ignore trolls, they wouldnt be a problem.

But we already know that that doesnt happen so I doubt vote system would change anything.

The fringe political opinions here have such high overlap with bigotry that downvotes would do more good than harm.

Not that I want gamefaqs to have votes. I have reddit for that already.

The only reason those generals existed in the first place is because about 4 years ago anytime someone got warned/suspended they'd have topics made about them and it would just flood the board and annoy anybody.
Yep, many peeps with block lists of their own making the same topic. Great system.

good fucking riddance. Those topics are an absolute shithole

you literally have a user in there bragging about giving out his PERSONAL PHONE NUMBER to confront trolls over a text app that literally has voice chat functionality like he actually did something smart

Details please. I know some posters here are obsessed with owning the trolls (to the detriment of every topic they post in), but this is something else.

Topics gone now, but machete apparently gave out his personal cell phone number to people that were antagonizing him on discord and took it as a victory when they didnt call him.

discord has voice chat functionality

why anyone would do that and think it was a good move I have no idea

Shut the fuck up with your disingenuous garbage. How are you unable to tell the difference between actively shitting on people who cant come into a thread to defend themselves because the TC has them blocked and saying verbatim what someone has posted at least twice now

@Machete

would you like to tell these nice people your genius plan of doxxing yourself to own the trolls

do they openly antagonize said users in their threads? Most likely not
That makes absolutely no sense. How would it antagonize someone if they can't read it? Also flaming is against the rules anyway so they could only talk about people in a rated g way.

You being a hypocrite, gossiping, and @ing someone to berate them is worse than most things in the Warned General.

Machete tends to not check his mentions. But giving out his phone number wouldn't be out of character for him. He gave it out to us (ie Friends) during the epic struggle. This is different though.
