Encountered my first mobafire troll!!!

[quote=The Angry Cookie]I figured out where the build ranking system etc is flawed today.. People creating an account just to troll another's.. Got my first downvote today for absolutely no reason, his comment was invalid if you want to look at the comment to agree with me I would be much happier knowing I just dropped from top 10 in last 30 days to dog shit.. He states that one summoner spell and item were not needed with Kassadin(even though I list alternatives lol).. So discouraging.[/quote]

[quote=Mowen]I think you don't know what a troll is. He actually tried to give his reasoning of why he disagreed with your build, and was nice enough to talk to you about it later. People have gotten downvoted for reasons such as "I like pancakes" and I recently got downvoted on my new build twice because "This build is a copy"... If you want to know more about the admin's feelings about downvotes and the comment to vote system read here: http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/forum/mobafire-support/i-have-found-troll-votes-on-the-site-can-i-get-them-deleted-1976 I know it sucks to get downvoted for a reason you think is bad. But he DID give his reason and actually explain his thoughts, which is more than most downvoters will give. And you should be polite even when people downvote you. If you get mad saying "Thanks for making an account just to troll my guide" then the trolls have won. :) You just have to stay positive and know that you're helping people and that's what matters![/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]Agreed. That downvoter was so much more helpful in his criticism than most other people are. The only reason he started trolling was because you refused to take his advice and called him a troll. Yes, I know that your guide gives alternatives to everything he says. If that's the case, kindly point that out to him instead of saying "OMG YOU SUCK YOU OBV DIDN'T READ AND ARE TROLLING". You overreacted to a perfectly valid downvote. Be grateful that he even gave reasoning instead of just typing in "bad".[/quote]

[quote=The Angry Cookie]He downvoted because he used something that was listed as an alternative in my guide.. Therefore I took it as a shoddy reason...[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]Then politely point it out instead of the way you did, which is bound to attract an angry response from the voter himself and make him less likely to actually reconsider his vote.[/quote]

[quote=Dremu]had same problem with my master yi guide today cookie, Someone downvoted because of THEIR opinion. Not a troll, but a stupid person. They don't understand that their opinion isn't always right so they downvote you. Like how they had an opinion on the summoner spell for yours, Yours isn't how I would do it so i'm downvoting is what they were thinking. For mine they disagreed with item choice therefore, downvoting mine, Also gave me a harsh "Yi is op btw you're wrong he can own with anyone playing him!" So yeah, People are just stupid i suppose.[/quote]

[quote=FreestyleZer0]Not nessecarily stupid, most are just not as experienced as some guidemakers are. Thus they disagree as they do not see the use of something. Stupidity and unfamilliarity are 2 different things. If you disagree with the disagree'er then all you have to do is go like, hey, this is the mc hammer dance, i can dance nice right? and now, to clarify the reason why i chose this skill.spell.item , it is because of this and that, and i also posted this and that for an alternative, could you reconsidder the downvote as i did have it in the guide. And for people who shout, he is op and anyone can use him, that is not entirely true but not entirely false either :P. In cases of Yi, Tryndamere and Jax , these are rather simple to use compared to other champions *ofcourse there are easier champions out there but since these are nice dmg output they considder them op*. It is like stated by Jebus McAzn in the post http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/forum/mobafire-support/i-have-found-troll-votes-on-the-site-can-i-get-them-deleted-1976 merely an opinion, you might disagree with them but they have every right to think that. Sure it is something that gets you down, but think of it this way, maybe my guide is not well enough explained or it maybe it might not be as 100% as i thought it was, lets check it thoroughly and ask some friends with experience who don't use him/her very often, after that ask some friends without experience and ask them what they think about it and why they think that. This really helps to avoid alot of those things, ofcourse always some flamers or stubborn people but at least the damage is kept minimal which is your OWN job. You want to hear something even worse then those occasional downvotes, NO feedback on a freshly made guide at all, not even 1 comment, total silence. I can't stand it :P, but i know that it takes time (cant wait!! arrrr >_< ).[/quote]

[quote=Jet]I thought the idea of a "comment to vote" system was just so people know why people don't like their guides and whatnot. I mean, downvoting and saying "..." for example would be a troll vote, imo, because it doesn't give any reason to why they don't like it. I'd accept something like "lol not crit gangplank lol", but "..." doesn't mean anything.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]A lot of people prefer this system over the old one, however, where no comment was required to vote. There were a lot of "ninja" -1 votes, and it was frustrating because nobody would give their opinion the majority of the time.[/quote]

[quote=FreestyleZer0]... might actually mean something, sersiously, speechles, not even going to comment on this, pointless etc. And yes, trolling is never liked but come on, THERE IS NO SITE where you do not see trolling. The staff of this website is busy enough as it is (especcially after the whole database/system crash situation), they already stated they will NOT remove those downvotes or posts so just leave it be. If you don't like it and want to post your hate about trolls go post in general discussion "fanclub for troll haters" or something simmilar. This is not the right section to post about this for as far as i can tell :P (it says "build and guide discussion", not "general discussion" or "support/suggestions"). System flaws/suggestions for improvement are supposed to be posted in the support section altough this has already been discussed. Hate about trolls is a topic for general discussion. Don't get me wrong, i don't like trolls either, but you are giving the staff a hard time by posting in wrong sections and posting about something already discussed, they already have enough work.[/quote]
