Hmm, if I try to flag someone I get an error
"undefined"
weird, I will try a different browser
Update:
You are right! It works still, guess my browser is the problem. Thanks for the reply

It does vary, but right now I was online with the IE on my PC. By switching to Firefox it works again

aleister✭✭✭✭Can we get a button to go along with the agree, lol, insightful, etc buttons that we can click when the reply/post is dumb and a bait, troll, or just outright wrong?
Since the tags have no real effect, I don't see the point. I'd rather see a reddit-like voting system so we can float more interesting/worthy threads to the top.1 -

And to many others as laughing WITH not AT, so receiving a LOL is entirely ambiguous and so it's pointless using it: and in any case if you're laughing AT someone they get the last laugh because you just gave them a few more forum points.For now the pejorative button is "LOL" which to me means "Laughing Out Loud"
You can use it how you like but the forum badge system thinks an LOL is a good thing, awarding badges and congratulatory emails.
100 badges and $5 will get you a cup of coffee of course.2 -

No.
That's just like and dislike, so it's the same problem, with a bit of popularity confusing the issue a bit.
The buttons at the bottom are fine as they are, if we agree, then we press agree, same for finding it awesome or insightful.
LoL has a bit of misuse, I personally use it to indicate that they've said something funny. If I think they are wrong, I tell them so, and say why I think it's wrong. I would describe what I think of people who use it as a disagree button, but the forum rules disallow profanity.People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

dennissomb16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭Well it is the internet. Just assume that everyone dislikes and for the occasional reasonable person you will get an "awesome", or "agree" etc. I would be curious to see what would happen if a "dislike" button was added. My guess is it would quickly become the most used button on the forums LOL0

Reddit also have a system (I dont know how it works) to make "downvotes" from trolls go away.
I dont know how they do it, but some kind of system controls that users dont get "stalked" or downvoted for no reasons.....works fantastic....I dont know how but you can really look at a user and see their REAL "stats"Edited by Cogo on July 10, 2014 4:43PMOghur Hatemachine, Guild leader of The Nephilim - EU Megaserver

As was explained, folks used the dislike button to pile dislike votes on posters with whom they disagreed, without ever bothering to detail why.
It's a lazy person's way out, and frankly just makes no sense:

I am all for it btw :-p
Unless you noticed, I stand for what I say, and have you ever seen me complain that someone is replying whatever to me?
If I stick my head out and make any sort of statement, I have to accept the reactions, whatever they are.
Not counting rude and outright flaming/personal attacks, of course.
You have to give me that though? I say my view, and take the heat for it?Oghur Hatemachine, Guild leader of The Nephilim - EU Megaserver

Reddit automatically moves things down as time goes on (otherwise the best submissions would just stay on top forever) but fake downvotes usually refers to the fact that the number of upvotes/downvotes shown isn't the real number for high-vote posts. The total points shown is accurate but the up and down numbers are fake. That's to stop vote spammers getting instant feedback on whether or not their votes are actually going through. If you don't know the real number of votes you can't measure your effect on a thread.
If a bot/person is shadowbanned, both the upvote and downvote counts go up, so the bot/person cannot tell if the post was downvoted at the same time or they are shadowbanned.

The flag is to report posts that violate the TOS.
@Alex: it's not any different than the other buttons we have. Do people need to reply and explain why they think a post is LOL, insightful, or they agree? I never do... It's just an easy way to let the poster know without filling the thread with superfluous posts.
No the flag button is to report people who are outspoken about this game so that they can be moderated and eventually banned. 1 -

Mind explaining why? I can't understand why it would cause problems for people to tag a post they don't agree with or think it's dumb.
