[CHEFT] DFens_666 Players 12,690 posts 10,677 battles Report post #1 Posted January 24, 2018 Not sure where the right place for this is, but i just go with the place with the most attention. Why did u introduce those smilies to react to post? I can understan positive feedback, such as Cool (alltho what does cool mean?) and Funny. And then we have 3 Negative smilies. All this does it creates hostility in the Forums, without any need. Ppl running deliberately after your posts, voting Boring/Bad because they disagree with you as a person. Its one thing to argue about it, but now we have "karma" system in the forums, where u actually see who is targeting your posts. I mean fine, obviously sometimes ppl piss each other off, but giving the possibility to vote posts will only make things worse in the long run. It should be judged what u say, not what the other one thinks of u because u said something he doesnt like once, thats why we dont need any Bad smilies for Posts! Helpful-smiley would be much better, and yet it doesnt exist. Cool and Funny can stay as far as im concearned. @MrConway @Tuccy Any insight why it was implemented like this? Any possibility to revert or change the current ones? 5 11 22 17 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KarmaQU_EU Beta Tester 803 posts 4,376 battles Report post #2 Posted January 24, 2018 Actually I was hoping more types of imagery reaction was added. The current ones are not too helpful, and are very extreme. Your poll does not include an "add more" option so I chose 4 instead. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you are discriminating the 3 smileys you are trying to get removed. After all there are several "negative" emoticons present for you to use in the forum posts Soooo ... even tho I do understand your point (same reason why Facebook never implemented "thumbs down" emo), I do not see them as problematic.

Well, maybe u didnt have those guys following u? And the option is to but them on Blocklist, so i dont get Notification spammed because they run wild voting on every post they can find. I mean its not my time going down the toilet, but its annoying at some point. 3 minutes ago, KarmaQU_EU said: Actually I was hoping more types of imagery reaction was added.

Maybe option 1 with a comment would have been better? Basicly u are saying the same, as in they dont help really (like Cool) or are very extreme (Like Angry) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Xaero_ Players 165 posts 12,281 battles Report post #6 Posted January 24, 2018 I like the concept of them, but with anything like this it will always be abused by people. "hurr durr I hate this player so I will post a boring reaction, that'll show em'!" It's a good idea (feedback, etc), but on the flip side it can be used to insight more hate on other players Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its not about the smilies per se, but about what its doing to the community. U cant have a good community when its about negativity all the time.

If the removal of smileys would help to improve the state ... sure, get rid of them. But I doubt that it would help one bit, because I think its partly human nature and mostly the lack of "parenting" that is reflecting in the internet behavior. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[AMOK] Donar79 Players 1,968 posts 8,957 battles Report post #10 Posted January 24, 2018 @DFens_666 Everybody can see who voted which way. So? Furthermore its absolutely consistent from WG. There are more reports than honors in the game too. So? And now i have a possibility to express my refusal on comments that otherwise would have been worth no answer. So? Sure it can be misused but hey ...what hurts u more a hate speech on one of your comments or a small smilie? And in contrast to the game there are no consequences, right?

But ignoring the notification means i have to ignore the user (or part of it) meaning i wont get notified when he quotes me either, if i choose to still talk to him. But u are missing the point: Its no so much about what that smiley says, its about creating negativity in the community, and for which reasons? 15 minutes ago, Donar79 said: Everybody can see who voted which way.

Sure it can be misused but hey ...what hurts u more a hate speech on one of your comments or a small smilie? And in contrast to the game there are no consequences, right? - Precisely the point. Actually one thing id like would be ingame to see who complimented me (as a comparision). If u get reported (despite doing nothing) u have a pretty good idea who it was. But getting complimented for playing well is very hard to know. Which brings me to a game lately where ClydeThaMonkey was on the enemy team. After the game i watched the game from his side, and he was the one complimenting me in the end. Me thinking it was one of my team... stupid me.... - So that makes it good? - Depending on the comment, it might be useful to say why u disagree/why the other is wrong. - Noone would take the time to write hate speeches against u all the time. If they did, u could aswell report them... 18 minutes ago, AnotherDuck said: If you want less hostility on the forums, be less hostile on the forums. I hear that helps.

If they did, u could aswell report them... ... No it doesn´t make it good. I am also the opinion that ingame reports/honors shouldn´t be completely anonymous. At least nickname should be shown. I think some dickheads wouldn´t be that quick with their reports. In the most cases u should explain your opinion but cmon we are in the internet. People show themselves from their worst side or how they really are if u want. Some just show they have no respect and conduct. I can´t see exactly where this reaction smilies make it worse. If someone misuses the smilies extensivly i could report that to Team too, i think. Honestly i asked for this negativ smilies since they took them out the first time(we already had the disagree/negativ things some months year ago). I also don´t see the effect of only positiv reactions being there. Without going into the deep why for me it is kind of undemocratic/unfair to only have one way to react i say all or nothing. So for implementing it back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[TS1] Runegrem Players 658 posts 8,162 battles Report post #19 Posted January 24, 2018 I kinda like them. Would like more positive ones though. 1 hour ago, nambr9 said: Every competitive game unfortunately has exactly the same community (toxic). Not exactly the same. Some are worse, some are better. I feel WoWs has a fairly well-adjusted community for the most part. Just compare it to WoT or something. The worst parts of this community can probably be found on these forums, and even then it's not too bad. In-game the players are overall quite pleasant.
