Comment to vote

[quote=Trophycase]Why does it seem like required comment to vote turns off automatically on guides, or are people just voting and not leaving comments, is there some sort of threshold where it turns off or what?[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]20 votes lol[/quote]

[quote=Trophycase]What is the reason behind this? How does it promote anything but trolling? Is it to minimize server load or what?[/quote]

[quote=tinolas]Well, because of this. http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/forum/mobafire-support/sheep-votes-worse-then-troll-votes-downvotes-are-important-3154[/quote]

[quote=Trophycase]That definitely makes a bit more sense, but I disagree that troll downvotes are counterproductive in anyway. While I admit I am sometimes wary of downvoting people, I don't think it should change anything. If everybody is afraid of downvoting guides, then every guide should be artificially inflated in the first place, essentially normalizing the system where every guide is higher than it should be. Anynonymousness only breeds abuse, why do you think people hide behind the internet and treat people how they never would in real life. Yes, I am a bit biased, as my guide got its first downvote right after the comment to vote effect wore off, but I still think it is a silly idea.[/quote]

[/quote] I was around when CTV wasn't implemented, I was around when the discussion for it to be implemented took place, and I was around when it was implemented. All I can say is that 1) Yes, CTV inflates scores because people are afraid to downvote. 2) Veterans generally care about the scores of their guides TOO much. 3) I really think the old scoring system should return, since all the new guides are in the 90%s. Back in the day before CTV, a GODLY guide was at most 85%; good guides were in the 70%s. Either way, I've retired just because, even though the QUALITY of the guides have increased, the CONTENT is generally not well thought-out and no longer applies to my teammates and I. Every time we hear a "Are you Xaioli from MOBAFire?" we snicker because we know we just won the game.[/quote]

[quote=tinolas]It's not like I'm supporting the way it is 'cause nobody wants downvotes on their guide ;) But I do unsterstand why they did it. Edit: Yeah, it worked fine before CTV as well.[/quote]
