For some reason, Final Blade gets thumbed down like shit. This doesn't happen to many other people actually. Just Final Blade.
People seem to just thumb down as soon as they see "Final Blade" next to the comment.
You should get a name change, change your avatar, change your signature and change that font. Then people wouldn't be thumbing you down like this, I guess.

_{I did change it, just not completely
I don't want to pay 10 dollars for a name change, where my name is unique in a way no one has the name final blade on this site, it makes me special. When i thumb people down i have a reason and respond. The people who don't respond just do it and abuse the system. Another Example is the my comments here I stated something about a game i didn't know, and ask a question yet it gets a thumbs down for no reason what so ever, WHY?
This needs to be fixed and people needs to stop thumbing down comments. I feel a Report comment feature needs to be implemented on gamegrep article comments so people stop flooding gamegrep with useless thumbing down, which Xenc asked people to knock it off, and yet it still going on.
This has been a major issue on gamegrep for 5 months+ now.}

I usually tend to thumb up comments that have thumb downs. I tend to leave others alone more than I try to keep people reaching -5 for something that wasn't bad.

_{Im not the only one complaining about this either Krunal, iLLmatic, Deadman Rules, jmac as well as Xenc has had problems with the useless thumbing down comments and taking them out of view.}

Maybe a feature where the mods can see who has thumbed comments down should be brought about. *Shrugs*

P.S. Anyone else having problems accessing GameGrep? I couldn't go in for quite a long time now.

_{Im pretty sure thats being looked into, Krunal actually banned a member cause he uselessly thumbed my comment down a few months ago, with the help of Tekmosis. But I feel my suggestion about taking them out entirely and changing it to the report feature from Neoseeker forums is a better solution. Doing it your way just makes it more difficult cause for all we know some may have had a good reason but they would also get in trouble for it. This way the report feature allows you to explain why you took it out of view.}

I will never be in support of a system that tracks who thumbs down comments so that you can ban abusers. There is absolutely no way to know if the person was actually being genuine or not and so we should not be able to ban someone for thumbing down. Even if we see someone has thumbed down 10 comments by one user there is still no real evidence to know whether they didn't like the comment or didn't like the person. Unless someone directly tells you Finalblade that they thumbed you down because of who you were then you can't say that the thumb downs were not deserved.

_{Its about time someone came out and said that, thanks Enhance. Take this for another example: Source}

Meh, i'll have to wait to play this game before stating my thoughts on it.

Who in their right mind would thumb that down? Sure it is practically a guaranteed hit, but it is a joke too thumb someone down for not being sure about the game. It is plain unfair to, and I say this as a gamer obsess with the game.

quote Donnelly

It wasn't thumbed down because of what was said, more like who said it.

quote black doom

Wow, thumbed down twice for being Finalblade? (I thumbed him up again, I try not to judge people, just comments.)

You proved nothing. The person that actually thumbed down your comment did not say he did it because of the user. Anyone that commented after you saying that you were thumbed down just for being you could only guess that was the reason. They have no evidence to back it up so you can't say they didn't do it because they thought the comment was stupid or whatever.

<sub>I proved everything you asked unless they directly say it, and Donnelly stated they did it cause of who said it. Which means the same as what you asked.

Every freaking comment i make whether its an opinion or a good point gets thumbed down. Very rarely do i even get a thumbed up.
And according to Krunal someone thumbed down a good post of mine for no reason but, like my post stated, cause of me, and they got banned. Tekmosis told Krunal who did it. Listen im not talking about me alone, i just used example for me. Krunal, Xenc, iLLmatic Deadman Rules jmac have also stated the problems with Thumbs down crew many times. Its a feature getting abused for no reason. Its been this way for 5 months now. I wouldn't bring up a problem if it was just me. Many, like the people i just used, expressed there hatred for it.

The thumbs feature must go. The report feature on Neoseeker posts are the best thing for GG it stops the useless flooding of thumbing down posts, without replying. As iLLmatic called them "PUPPETS".</sub>

You proved nothing that I said. The whole reason I said you can't track who thumbs down comments is that you can't even know why the person thumbed down a comment. You, Donnelly, or anyone else on GameGrep can't read minds so you can't say that someone thumbed you down because of your username and not your comment. You and many others may think your comment was perfectly fine but that doesn't mean everyone will. Someone could have genuinely thought that the comment you made was bad so they thumbed it down. If others thought it was good then they can thumb it up.

You can't say that a comment does not deserved to be thumbed down as you don't think the same as everyone else. As long as there are thinking people in this world then you can never classify a comment as good in the mind of everyone.

The only change to the comment system that needs to be made is so that -5 comments can still be viewed if requested. You only want it removed because for some reason you don't think you can post comments that aren't good.

<sub>If you cared to read any of my posts here, you would have known Xenc Gave everyone on gamegrep warnings to not thumbs down good posts to -5. Other wise their privileges will be taken away. Apparently the new mod of GG feels its being abused the same way i and many others see it.

I already proved my point, i'll wait to hear from Krunal and Xenc as well as bring these members i mentioned to post their thoughts on this matter. Hell ask Tekmosis as well about that situation i stated before.

I stated a better solution to the ever growing problem on GG. The report feature is better to the thumbs.</sub>

All you are doing Final Blade is being a whiner because you think that your comments are being thumbed down when they shouldn't yet you have no proof they are. No single person can classify a comment is good. You can't tell people not to thumbs down good comments because you can't say that everyone is going to think a comment is good. You have no evidence to say that the person didn't thumb it down because they actually thought it was bad.

The thumbs system shouldn't be removed because it is beneficial. Good comments should be thumbsed up and bad comments thumbsed down. The only problem is that you can't view comments that are -5. If you could people could thumb them back up if they thought they were good.
