There was once this Taric hater...

[quote=PFP]Lol like I've stated before, my Ashe build once had a 92% rating. A new guide "inspired" off mine, (which at the time only had one different item, I have since changed my guide) somehow climbs above mine while mine gets trolled. Good times :][/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]and now ironically is the highest-rated build on this site while the rest of the author's builds are terrible I mean seriously, Cho'Gath with Phantom Dancer?[/quote]

[quote=SixSonatas]I still feel like this community needs to be more selfless... Hell, I made the Taric guide with no expectations of being number one =_= If people are just going to downvote with no sense of justice, then I say we remove the voting system from MOBA; who's with me?![/quote]

[quote=Adonikam]The thing is, this site NEEDS the voting system, or some way or telling new users which guide will help them the most. I get annoyed at people who see guides as a competition but there is nothing I can do about it so live and let live.[/quote]

[quote=SixSonatas]We CAN have it run on a recommend system, which won't be abused since vets are, well, loyal to the site and don't abuse the system. Just rank guides by number of recommendations; vets who abuse the system can be de-vet'd. The voting system, although it requires sign-up, is too often abused since EVERYONE can do it. And the "some way or telling new users which guide will help them the most." is not really relevant seeing how the system can be abused so that even the best of guides won't be anywhere near the top. A flawed system that tells which guides will help the most? That's an oxymoron.[/quote]

[quote=Adonikam]I suppose if only Vets could do recommendations but that would call for a whole lot more people upgraded to Vet status and then the Vets would need to be monitored and what they do monitored in order see if anyone abuses it. TL DR; It seems that there is no easy fix to this and we can only help by not resorting the minoritys' scheming.[/quote]

[quote=Manass]A reccomendation system, would require to much attention from the vets. If the fight against trolling should be stopped, there should be an auto-suspend-system, where one gets suspended for some time after having made a certain amount of downvotes within a certain amount of time without commenting. I myself have been banned for 1 day because I had downvoted 2 builds (with no comment of course) within relatively short time. So apparently the tools are there to check trolling. An automatic system would be the next efficient step.[/quote]

[quote=SixSonatas]Yeah Matt and other admins can check which users vote on which builds and how they vote, etc. Thing with banning is that people will make new accounts to downvote anyway; so are we going to have to go with IP banning just for trolls? Ugh there just doesn't seem to be any solution to this.[/quote]

[quote=Manass]Unfortunately not. Sigh..[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]I suggest the following system, although I'm definitely not the first one. No downvote without comment. I think it's time to seriously consider this. This at least hinders trolls and will show the rationale for most of the downvotes, meaning that the author will then have an opportunity to improve on exactly what needs improvement. The problem, however, is trolls who will just leave a troll comment, and there's no way around that except to have veterans moderate every single downvote comment that comes through this site - and that would turn this site into an anarchy.[/quote]
