IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2 Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads. | ||

Although the reddit system is really silly and easy to manipulate, I know I've done it myself, but if it was my livelihood I wouldn't risk it. | ||

Reddit is that one thing that doesn't work like it should to begin with. It's notoriously a bad place for voicing rather unpopular opinions even if they technically may be deemed correct, link karma depends on luck, timing and other factors such as negative or positive following even when the content may hold up to "standards". Although these are things that are understandable in a way of course. I just use Reddit for catching potential headlines or news, nothing else. I've always thought that downvotes on Reddit really serve no purpose.If you are only supposed to downvote things which "don't contribute", then all you really need is upvote and report. | ||

The second matter is just manipulation, which could probably be improved. Things such as vote manipulation should obviously be shut down by reddit admins, I don't think there's a question about that. But they need to have less vague rules, they need to have more transparency so people are more aware of the consequences. And then of course there's the issue with subreddit mods themselves. That's probably the biggest problem with the big subreddits, because most of them go by the "well this is what the people want" methodology. In the long run that always turns into "this is what the lowest common denominator wants". | ||

The thing is that a system where you vote on subjective matters will always be a bad place for discussion. The upvote/downvote system works fine for something like stackoverflow which is for answering programming questions. Because things can be 'more right' or plain wrong.

It allows them to solve everything on a case-by-case basis. Which I think they do, from what we know. The admins also always talk to the people breaking the rules and give them plenty of opportunity to stop doing it before they ban them. At least that's what the admins say, if it's the truth or not, I of course don't know. | ||
