But what will happen when all the people who can’t make helpful or constructive comments can’t joi- oh wait.
I like this idea, unfortunately I can see potential holes in it.
e.g. one spam bot (or a chain of spam bots) rate another as constructive.
…
You imply that people making stupid comments are not the lifeblood of any internet community.
Only if it wasn’t.
So, sorta like the rating from facepunch?
Smartness points would be nice.
These forums would be empty.
You say that like its a bad thing.
I dunno. I would miss having my daily morning checks on the forums for deadpan snarking and the occasional troll post. It’s been rather fun.
That’s the point. See the last frame of the cartoon-strip?
No, he means that the spambots put random comments in, and then other spambots rate those as constructive, even though they aren’t haha
But humans will vote the retarded comments down, so unless they get loads of bots rating one comment up then it’s fine. And you could always add another button: spam. After 5 or 10 people click it, the comment gets hidden.
Because that works for Youtube so well.
