Technologically speaking, what would be a good proper replacement for the upvote/downvote system?

1. Pay per account
2. Add pay to ban

That way if someone wants to keep annoying turds out, it should be a team effort since many people will find them annoying. While the annoying person will have to keep paying over and over again to be annoying... I guess he could crowd fund that as well. Nevermind then.

We keep the system. But require internet id for everyone. Indians get no upvote/downvotes under any circumstances. That little tweak alone solves 99.9% of all problems.

And allow government funded jews like the ADL to shill the site and take over.

Buttons to Mimic/finesse . Mimic is roughly equivalent to a like. Finesse is like a downvote but it implies you have the vote thats better

This was chosen as prior to the age of information mimicry often meant survival, now with everyone mimicing being table stakes with the internet survival comes from finesse not mimicry
>>
>>109704915
One thing I've noticed is that in the absence of a rating system, people are more inclined to share their opinion, be it positive or negative.
It makes sense, it's easier to somewhat convey your opinion with one button press than actually writing something, even if it's just "Lol, good one" or "Kill yourself"

I've never felt this site was particularly negative, you get called a retard when you're being retarded, but it's just as easy to get praised when your post deserves it (it's funny/helpful/insightful/etc).

X, and other sites with only likes/upvotes/hearts/whatever positive button-equivalent, are what in my opinion, bring out the worst in people. Users with a positive opinion of a post are encouraged to signal this with a like, but because there's no equally easy negative signal, people with a negative opinion are more likely to convey this via a comment.

So, if you asked me how I'd replace it, and didn't give me the option to remove it, I'd do the opposite of X: You can only downvote/dislike, this would encourage positive reactions to be expressed via comments while encouraging negative reactions to just be an abstract number

You shouldn't be praised for an average or good comment; that should be the norm and baseline and thus you can't boost a particular post for stealth ad-botting
You should be buried for shitposts

steam makes you pay $5 to post in forums. it filters a VAST number of bots.

i would add a 3rd counterpoint: a counter-ban. if a user is banned from a subreddit, they can pay to reddit to get unbanned, or even pay a monthly subscription to get ban immunity for certain communities.

it wouldn't stop trolling completely, but it would turn ragebait into revenue for the website without relying on gay targeted ads and data scraping, and it would mean that only the truly dedicated and vindictive would bother trolling

Not using one in the first place. Those just create echo chambers and dog-piling. Set up your own chan board or forum.

maybe it could be improved by not hiding downvotes and sorting by up+down votes, instead of just up votes. the whole voting system is hivemind echo-chamber though
