[Suggestion] "News" posts' ratings don't count

[Robo]

Hi. so I noticed threads in the "news" section get like 15-25 or so likes and positive ratings, and as far as I know, that goes straight to the person who made the thread, and they end up getting like 2,000+ positive ratings cause of it.

So I'm thinking those simply shouldn't count towards the person and just stay on the thread instead.

Thanks for reading!

I honestly don't see a reason why these ratings matter that much tbh.

Like... All they are is a way to say "oh hey look at how many people clicked this one button just for me!!!!!!!"

Threads like this aren't necessary.

If you steal their likes the Admins will lose their power.

ratings are still relevant?

There are still people who take the dislike rating as if people are condemning them so yeah, for better or worse.

[Serious] Why I think the news posts ratings should be removed

I don't see why this is needed, I doubt anyone really cares that much tbh (some people do but i don't think it's very important)

however i've always felt like
well


post ratings

post ratings

these are ratings for posts, not for people
so i think they should not be viewable on a profile or something, per-person
but only per post
but again i don't think anyone cares

Alright, well I guess since how the community is right now, I can agree, it doesn't really matter all /that/ much. Also,

You're not wrong, tbh. I'll go talk to some people and grab a collective administrative opinion.

I might be wrong in saying so but after a brief scan of the news sections it looks like the threads that get the most likes warrant the post likes. Like the one mentioned about the "Overhaul" surely that does deserve likes for what it is about no? Also I'd say 15-20 is a bit excessive for each thread in the news section, the front page itself has only a handful of likes per thread excluding some important updates of admin changes/new lobby.

Does anyone look at someone's rating points and say "Oh man, this person doesn't have a lot of positive ratings, they must suck."
