    This is a suggestion for all you Skyblockers out there.

    If you don't want to see a suggestion, application, guide etc. be noticed, or if you disagree with it: stop replying to it. Especially suggestions.

    The problem with people replying "No support" is that it means the thread will be bumped back up to the top and viewed by the public eye once more, and potentially, by the almighty administrative eye also. Sure, he'll take into account how many people agree or disagree, but if he really really likes the idea/application, he might go ahead and accept it anyway - after all, it's his choice.

    Now, I know why you all want to reply "No support" - you want to increase your post counts! Well, plot twist, if people see you have a bunch of posts and hardly any ratings, they might just realise you have nothing worthwhile to say. Also, would you rather bump a bad suggestion or not get +1 to your meaningless counters? Yeah. I thought so. Well, I thought so if you thought that you'd rather not get +1.

    So here's my overall suggestion: if you have something new to say that no one has said before you, by all means, say it! If you want to say "<name> summed up what I think. No support." or even just "No support (how useful of you!)", just use the little no support ratings - you're going to damage that thread a lot more by letting it die. (shrivel up and die)

    Just a thought. I've not been applying this very much myself, but I aim to in the future, as I'm seeing more worthless suggestions sticking at the top because every kid and his mum want to reply "No support". I'm not sure how this thread will be received but we'll see. Maybe no one will reply to it at all. :asshat:

    Love,
    Lycel.

    Lots of mods have this :t

    What annoys me is when people type "^" when the agree rating exists or they type "lol" when the funny rating exists.

    Up your post count by actually contributing something useful. This thread isn't about using ratings instead, it's about not bumping threads you don't like :p
    Also, why do people not have rating perms...?
