I have no idea what downvoting/upvoting is on this website or how it works.

It probably doesnt even exist, but I had to ask.

There totally isn't a pinned thread or anything

It affects your title, where "heroic" is for you.
It barely does anything now, in the early days Mythics could be made and taken down with a small number of votes, then a couple of people cried when people kept downvoting them for upvote whoring and circlejerking so that was changed.

This should probably be on the Septagon board...

Lol, you can't even downvote?

It's ultra basic.

Naoto · May 22, 2015, 06:16:14 AM

It does nothing now that can't be undone by shitposting, so don't bother.

On the one hand, you have a "like" button under each post. It's a way of showing that you appreciate, like or agree with a certain post and can often be a measure of how popular an opinion this. This like feature has no effects apart from that.

On the other, there is the karma feature with upvotes and downvotes. Clicking the little arrow in the very right corner of someone's nameplate will reveal the upvote (green +) and downvote (red -) buttons. This affects a person's "karma" on the website, which in return partially determines your rank. As you can tell, people can be heroic, legendary and mythic. Aside from your time spent online and post count, this rank is determined by your karma. The more upvotes you get, the higher it becomes.

Moving this to the Septagon board, by the way.

Ah thankyou, I never knew that, that's all I really wanted to know cheers, move it if you want, more discussion would be had, just felt I'd get a more immediate answer here.
