Its ridiculous, this is a chess site, not a social media site.
And its even worse with 10 year olds who only care about "ratios"

In practice I don't think anyone's really going to use it, I've had it in beta for a few months and can count on one hand the times it's been actually used.

Reddit is awesome, just don't get caught up in the upvotes/karma bs.
But on chess.com the upvote/downvote means even less.

Just to spite you. I have upvoted your comment

I know it's appealing to businesses because of its addictive quality (when your post get 1 upvote it's a little dopamine) but from a human being's perspective this sort of thing is pretty annoying.

Yeah, this up/down voting is kinda silly, but whatever. I was playing with your post. It will let me upvote once or downvote once. But I can cycle between up and down countless times. I guess that's good for people who can't make up their minds...

Yeah, I never see anyone use them except for on controversial comments like that first comment on the "fool didn't see it" thread.

How long will it be before the kids start trying to make a game out of getting the most up or down votes?

Yeah, close enough. I wasn't aware of that, haha.

I know it was a feature a lot of people requested. I've seen it get some use in beta but not a ton. Will be interesting to see how well it ends up working in practice. You can also sort the forums now and one option is by relevance, so some threshold will be hidden from view on that sort option.
edit: hmm, not sure anymore on the hidden option; right now the one down voted post just drops to the bottom on relevance sort.

I know it may come across as whiny. One moment I'm lamenting there are so many rubbish posts, the next I'm complaining that a self-policing measure exists.
An ability to sort by relevance would be nice. An ability to hide heavily downvoted topics and posts would be nice.

Watching that will probably make me depressed heh.
Thanks for the source though.

I personally like it, especially if they will allow you to sort by up/downvotes. It would be interesting if they incentivized points to align with positive contributions (i.e. upvotes) rather than pure quantity of posts. Maybe that might help unclutter the forums and make points a more relevant measure of a person's positive impact on the community. Similar to like a stack exchange.
