People would post things purely for sake of getting "votes" and a lot of threads would be made simply agreeing with an opinion so they can get "votes". Actual discussion would be buried beneath all the redundant things that would made all for the sake of a meaningless number.
So, no, I don't like a "thumbs up" idea.How do you know?
Just look at reddit.Reddit is not set up like Bungie.net in any way.
The concept of '+1', or 'upvoting', is the same no matter what. People are always going to get it stuck in their minds that having more of them makes them more important.
You know all of that crap you see on Facebook, 'Like/share if you do XYZ' or 'Like/share if you agree'? Prepare to see that plastered all over the Flood if anything like this is implemented. I like the idea of the system, but in the end it always turns out to be horribly mis-used.Then you make the a bannable offense just like making a thread with a rigged poll is spam and therefore bannable. And the point of the Approve system would mainly be for posts. It could be implemented for threads, but even if it was there would just be a number next to the thread name. Everything would still be organized chronologically by the last post time.
That's the thing people aren't seeming to get from this. It's just a like system. It's not some sort of popularity counter. I mean, it could be, but (unlike the Waypoint system) this wouldn't be calculated in any form viewable by the general public or any regular user. Its just a less boring method of showing approval for a certain post.
