Comment Voting Now In Beta! Posted on: April 21, 2008, at 04:01:38pm A few minutes ago I flipped the switch for comment voting. For the time being, you can vote on any comment in a news post or random thought. We will be expanding this to other areas of the site in time. Also, subscribers get their own background color on news comments. :C= |

Umm, also, comment #11 has a point.
Posted at 4:28pm on April 21st, 2008
If subscribers and admins get their own color comment backgrounds, make sure regular staff members get their own as well. Green or something
Posted at 4:28pm on April 21st, 2008

Posted at 4:33pm on April 21st, 2008

Neat
Posted at 4:50pm on April 21st, 2008

Posted at 4:50pm on April 21st, 2008

Posted at 4:53pm on April 21st, 2008
Also, subscribers get their own background color on news comments.
i'm sure you thought of it before me but i said that in a news comment a few days ago XD
Posted at 4:58pm on April 21st, 2008
The subscriber news comment background color was implemented when the layout switched, just the color itself was not.
Posted at 4:59pm on April 21st, 2008
Hmmm, okay.
Posted at 5:01pm on April 21st, 2008
oh ok i understand. sweet stuff MalDON, keep it up :)
Posted at 5:22pm on April 21st, 2008
My eyes need to adjust to this new layout.

Stealing youtube's idear i see.
Posted at 6:14pm on April 21st, 2008
This isn't a youtube idea... It came from Digg.com Reddit.com ... youtube stole their idea!
Posted at 6:15pm on April 21st, 2008
And you stole theirs, Maldon I really don't like you.
Posted at 6:31pm on April 21st, 2008
Walrus stole the bucket!
Posted at 6:33pm on April 21st, 2008
Damn right I stole the bukkit back!

What?! I guys down voted me? Funny.
Posted at 7:01pm on April 21st, 2008
You rockssssss.
Love it! <3
Posted at 7:19pm on April 21st, 2008
Awesomeness!! =D
One question: is there any way I can view the old subby updates? The only thing I can seem to find is the 'Hide' button..
Sorry, Im a n00b. -_-
Posted at 7:25pm on April 21st, 2008
My own background!
Posted at 7:26pm on April 21st, 2008
oh boy, just like youtube. new ways for people to be bigger losers
Posted at 7:37pm on April 21st, 2008
why are you guys comparing this you youtube? Youtube was not the first to use a user voting system. In fact, I don't like the way they even implemented it.
Trust me, when I'm done coding in all the little extras, this will be far better than anything youtube has.
Posted at 7:37pm on April 21st, 2008
'Comment below threshold'
Haha.
Posted at 7:37pm on April 21st, 2008
I'm still not understanding the color part.
What colors?
Posted at 7:39pm on April 21st, 2008
Go look at the new post comments. Subscribers have blue as the comment background color, admins red/pink...
Posted at 7:47pm on April 21st, 2008
Oh, that's what you mean. >_>
I saw that a long time ago, I was just waiting for some color on here, lol.
Posted at 7:47pm on April 21st, 2008
sowy walrus
Posted at 7:48pm on April 21st, 2008
We do plan to move colors onto these types of comments, but there is no system for that right now. I'll try to throw one together tonight.
Posted at 7:50pm on April 21st, 2008
so what if youtube wasnt the first. its the first site i think of and it sucks there, i just think its lame.
Posted at 8:01pm on April 21st, 2008
Maldon, you're just making FFR look like other websites. It's really annoying and a lot people don't like it. Be original :/
Posted at 8:30pm on April 21st, 2008
I think it's okay. I don't think Walrus' bucket, full of stuff comming for us in the future (except 3rd style), is annoying. He's just adding a whole bunch of useless but nice stuff. =)
Good going MalDON, you're awesome!
Posted at 8:49pm on April 21st, 2008
Someone down voted me, I'm mad now. ;/
Posted at 8:56pm on April 21st, 2008
That would be me.
Posted at 9:01pm on April 21st, 2008
Babyvpr: It's not stealing from other websites, it's just neat effects, I guarantee that the websites you speak of stole them too.
Posted at 9:07pm on April 21st, 2008
this is trippy lol 2 thumbs up :)
Posted at 9:16pm on April 21st, 2008
stfu babyviper

Awesomeness :D!
Posted at 9:37pm on April 21st, 2008
stfu? Uh, no? My opinions.
Posted at 9:40pm on April 21st, 2008
I down voted Izzy, teehee.
Posted at 10:10pm on April 21st, 2008
Cool....
Posted at 10:16pm on April 21st, 2008
stop whoring the comment voting. there's too many Up votes @_@
Posted at 10:24pm on April 21st, 2008
Have any other switches to be flipped?
Posted at 10:52pm on April 21st, 2008
To be completely honest.. I don't see how this helps anything. People are being extremely rude with the voting. It's allowing for the majority to gang up on anyone with a differing opinion (as this thread is showing clearly). Then it completely hides their post, pretty much making this a one-sided comment thread. If this is to deter spam, it's doing a crappy job of it IMO.
Posted at 10:54pm on April 21st, 2008
I think it should only have voting on messages that are over a certain length. Whats the point on voting on a message thats 1-2 words.
Posted at 11:10pm on April 21st, 2008
'w'
Posted at 11:15pm on April 21st, 2008
I think it should just be positive votes only. If you don't like a comment, just don't give the comment a vote.
Posted at 11:33pm on April 21st, 2008
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Posted at 11:35pm on April 21st, 2008
The entire point of this, Summerschool, is not to fight spam, but a way to encourage good posting. Single word comments are useless. if you post something good and enough people like it, you get voted up.
Sure there is mob mentality, that's normal. If this was such a bad idea, then why do all the other popular sites use it? Or is it because Myspace doesn't use it. Regardless, you will see that in time, it will pay off.
Posted at 11:44pm on April 21st, 2008
Hm, since there is a max character limit there should be a mininum character as well.
Posted at 11:49pm on April 21st, 2008
Yea, I agree with liz!
Posted at 12:06am on April 22nd, 2008
I like the idea. Now make me green in the regular news posts and I'll like you even more :(
Posted at 1:01am on April 22nd, 2008
please put an option to not hide stuff... I really hate clicking every link... I like reading everything
Posted at 1:51am on April 22nd, 2008
Lololol. Whee~
Posted at 2:50am on April 22nd, 2008
Judgment at its best. Not good.
Posted at 4:26am on April 22nd, 2008
make the animation go faster or have it show the message immediately on request.
Posted at 6:22am on April 22nd, 2008
Holy fruitcake! Thank you for adding this feature!
Posted at 11:23am on April 22nd, 2008
I love how subscribers automatically get +1 on comments, haha.
Posted at 11:35am on April 22nd, 2008
this is my roflcopter soi soi soi soi soi soi
Posted at 12:37pm on April 22nd, 2008
Ooh thank you a lot MalDON :), looks great!
Posted at 2:02pm on April 22nd, 2008
Truthfully, I like how this system promotes animation upon clicking something. I hope the rest of the site turns out like it should. I would definitely not mind clicking something and then seeing some animation in response. This site deserves the 1337 it already is.
Posted at 2:44pm on April 22nd, 2008
wow, im gone for 2 days, and alot happens.lol
Posted at 2:48pm on April 22nd, 2008
i r happy ;0
Posted at 6:31pm on April 22nd, 2008
Great idea! If you could get this to rank itsself so that the most popular comment goes to the top, It would stop all this stupid 'Im fiiiirst! yaaay' stuff that happens!
Posted at 6:38pm on April 22nd, 2008
XD
awsomeness!!! *downs*
Posted at 2:40pm on April 25th, 2008
Wow. I think you guys should also make a fix for say under -10 dont get shown.
Posted at 3:10pm on April 25th, 2008
Under -5 and under are hidden.
