From a practical perspective, I don't like this new upvote/downvote system. The upvote/downvote icons clutter up the area around the quote icon, and it takes me a fraction of a second longer to click on the quote icon. Over time, these added tenths of seconds will rob me of minutes of my life. ;-)

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"
Didn't ask + ratio + L
I think it's a fine idea, The question is will it actually be used properly or will nearly every comment get downvoted (as is the case on this thread). I'm glad there's no "karma" system, with all the children on this site the amount of begging for upvotes would be ridiculous.
Children will still be begging for upvotes. Just like how it is on Youtube comments. I dont see them being used properly, especially if the majority immature 10 year olds on the site, rather than serious posters who actually write good, relevant content ( as discussed in llama47's previous thread ).

My guess is they'll ditch the emojis. The big difference between the two -- other than aesthetics -- is that the emojis aren't anonymous. That's pretty much required. You can't know who put in a negative vote or things get resentful.
But seriously, if you want a place that doesn't seem overrun, encourage others to indicate how they feel about it without joining the fray. Or maybe see it as a way of replacing the emojis, rather than adding on to them -- which would seem pretty redundant.

Awards...badges...icons....emojis...CAPs score..."brilliant" moves...up votes...down votes...
Rewarding people for doing nothing more than clicking a button. Welcome to the internet.
I don't really mind the up/down votes but the interface is starting to get a bit cluttered. Perhaps they should hide the arrows until you hover over the message.

This is why I left reddit. When a horde of players rated 800 downvote you because they don't understand your post.
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.
Either have reactions or upvotes and downvotes. Not both. This is overkill.

Welcome to the further proliferation of social media mindlessness. It has less to do with the internet itself than it does with using the internet to manipulate people.

no u, I like play. Also I think they're doing it because under the old system daily and live each needed their own server, but play can fit both into one.
As long as play works just like live I won’t have a problem with it, but right now it feels too… absent. Like they dumbed down the interface.

I prefer play. The live one makes the pieces look weird. It looks like it's using some old flash type interface I don't know why it blurs the pieces slightly, regardless of browser.

It scares me that we cater to the lowest common denominator. But i guess its easier to do that then to make people actually think.

The site started as a social chess site.

Easier and more profitable.... it's a total win for chess. com.... for the members, it's a draw at best.

I hate play...it looks terrible
If they remove live chess, I'm never playing a live game on this site again ( unless I'm playing with a friend or something )
chess.com should just rename itself chesskids,com.
