And please don’t reply to OP with “+1”. :-P

Can I reply -1 then? ;)

I just think it’s useful as actual rating system is quite misused.

Smar, If you have some detailed description why -1, than it will be of course good. But not simply “-1”

Wasn’t that enough of description? :)

Smar, ah, you meant -1 to this post, not as example of generic comment to generic post.
It is not useful because it generates a lot of meaningless comments that you should go through when you open DevNet.

Ok, I’ll try to explain better OP’s issue: if you have a suggestion or a bugreport, use:

• The forum to discuss it (“Wouldn’t it be nice if…”);
• JIRA to report it to the Trolls™;
• JIRA to vote for it. That is, once the issue is officially opened, saying “+1” on the forum is pointless.

I know that I’m asking for a huge thing, but someone has to say it… it could be possible to merge JIRA and DevNet accounts, then somehow link JIRA reports to forum threads and vote for/against an issue right from the forums? :-)

It’s old theme, many days ago discussed need of button with name “Thanks”

And then we are very close to the so “famous” “like” button… From this +/-1 issue (which is a good way to get points without writing any meaningful) I have a feeling that this feature seems to be something people requires in online societies.

Nah, there will be no “Like” button coming. But I think a way of indicating that a member’s reply/suggestion/whatever was helpful, does make sense.

And guess what, it’s pretty high up on our list. :)

And how about giving karma to other users?

I think rate button is enough, if a suggestion is good I think people should use rating button on the right side…

I like the idea of the “thanks” for posts and I think it is probably more important to improve your karma than just the raw number of posts.

I would even like to see some filter (whenever, if ever, we get this feature) so we can see only the posts in a thread that were “useful”… It should help to get rid of some of the noise…

+1!

That’s literally bringing the “TROLL” flash to a new level.

peppe: We could have an additional red “Troll” badge for the bas trolls:-)
