It defeats the purpose of having them disappear when they’re at -5 if you can go in and rescue them. That’d just invite klans to have downvote and upvote wars.

I’ve only ever gotten downvotes for all my ideas… it’s pretty frustrating.

What the **** is up with people on the internet?

My brilliant ideas get large numbers of upvotes, and almost similarly large numbers of downvotes. Also, one of my best submissions was doing great, but I’d submitted it late in the week, so a couple of days later it just vanished. Ideas should stay up for x days, and not be penalised because of their submission position that week.

gdap, it probably vanished because the weeks competition was over Log in to see images!

I know that this is a bump, but this needs to be brought back. A new method of voting is certainly needed to avoid Faux News crap.

My proposal:You may either upvote something, pbum it, or report as crap. Reporting as crap does not effect votes. You must submit a reason that it is crap. A mod or amdin will check ideas called crap and delete them if they are. For instance, an idea called “agdagetawerawre” or “Upvote this please” would be called crap and deleted. Additionally, something is deleted if it does not recieve at least one upvote in a time period.

My idea was designed to remove crap quickly.

Also, I note that controversial things people are likely to be split on (e.g. something humorous, but debatable, like political) tend to get low scores simply because about as many people downvote as upvote.

That’s what the downvote bumon is there for.

But unlike the crap report bumon, downvote can be exploited.

I don’t see any point in asking for an admin to micromanage forumbuildr when it’s clearly been created to be self-managing. Every single entry would get reported as junk at some point, so then you want an admin rather than community vote to decide what stays and what goes?

ETA: Also, just think about how many entries there are per week when you take into account threads, enemies, etc. That’s a full-time job and I’m sure no one has any interest in taking it on.

Even HIGHLY DERIVATIVE ones can’t be deleted. Only nonsense and spam submissions would get deleted. I’m bumuming that’s what the current -5=remove is for.

Nonsense and spam submissions already get deleted.
