Welcome!

I think it's worked well so far. Proof seems to be how friendly the conversations are.

Welcome aboard!

Thank you! It can be a bit frustrating sometimes since I'm used to voting on mostly everything, one way or another, but I'm still digging it so far.

Yes! I feel like it puts more value on the actual vote. The posts that people upvoat or downvoat seem to generally be deserving of whichever type of voat they get. At first, it was a bit of a surprise to me how quickly my allotted amount of upvoats were used up. But then it "clicked" and made perfect sense to me.

This system is brilliant and I really like the thought put into it.

Yes, I'm still getting used to not upvoating every post that I like though.

Same here. And it still feels really weird to me to go into a thread and see that the top comment maybe has a few dozen upvoats. It's a nice change though.

I think it helps to make you actually think about what you actually agree or disagree about. Then, if you really feel that strongly about it, you type out a few sentences expressing that viewpoint.

I certainly like it from an openness stand point

It cuts out a lot of the passive aggressiveness, especially because you can see how often someone downvotes. Means there's some agency in both voting and posting

I definately think that it's better in some ways. In other ways I've found myself trying to be a CCP whore and I believe it's what's driving the /ALL page to so horrible. People are becoming CCP whores right when they hit the door as a result of it. IMO.

The key is to not give them upvoats. The system only works if people earn those through good contributions. Then, when things die down and people realize that 100 CCP isn't hard to get and they're all happy with their points you'll see less of it.

Yeah, I like it. It helps keep the negativity down as well.

I like the idea, you have to earn your votes, hopefully making corporate jump through hoops will lead to less blatant commercials posted as comments. i'm looking at you broadcast tv and your never ending string of four panels. on uh some other site.

I think its great! except the IKP system is sorta annoying though. It really makes you be conscious about upvoating real good posts. The only step up on voat the unnameable site has is the sheer amount of content it contains. I feel like that will change really soon though. Enjoy and if you have a chance check out my subverse /v/potatohalloffame !
