Remove the Upvote system. Permanatly.

3,275 SigmaTwelve  8.3 years ago

Simpleplanes is filled with people constantly complaining, saying "oh no one like my builds boohoo" because no one upvotes them. It's irritating. I mean, come on people, just becuase you spent over a billion millennia on that latest fighter jet or muscle car or whatever doesn't automatically entitle you to twenty six trillion upvotes. I recommend the Devs remove the Upvote system but keep the spotlight system, so people can't complain about no upvotes. Even better just remove the point system entirely; it makes some people think that's the whole point of the game: points. But that's not the point if the game, the point is to have fun, not stress out over points.

Thoughts?

    Nope... Although I don't really care about points, it distinguishes the High rankers and the Low rankers and will indicate whether it is great in other's eyes or not

    Removing upvotes removes the primary way people say "good job". If they were removed, SP would look very empty... With no feedback at all on any plane. Only comments could be used, and nobody comments. Out of my 120 followers, only 5 consistently comment on my builds.

    OK, I guess I could troll the "Newest" section and spotlight those I appreciate, however SP would have to eliminate the cooldown system as well.

    You have a point, but that's why I suggested keeping the spotlight system. Points just make some people think that's the whole point of the game when it's not. @ChiChiWerx

    Disagree, there should be some sort of kudos for those who do good work. "Leveling the playing field" will just sink the really great builders in a sea of crappy creations. I look at the "Hottest" section all the time to id good builds to then upvote and spotlight. If we didn't have an upvote system, other users can't tag the good creations to break them out of the crowd.

    That would solve a lot of problems but it would make a few
