[Proposal]: Downvote button #9

Closed christopherturner closed 7 years ago

christopherturner commented 8 years ago

I think that a downvote button (with similar functionality to reddit's) would be a great way to deal with spam on ZeroTalk, etc.

Agreed. It would be usefull to show that we do not support racism and anti-semitism.

I know this has been said in other issue proposals but I'm against a downvote button that would have any ramifications to the "censorship" aspect of Zeronet(talk). I think a better approach is a "HIDE button" that simply blacklists a certain userID from appearing on that individual's version of their localhost sync'd site. No one gets censored globally. But if a user "abuses" the system most people will "locally" blacklist that user and no one will see him/her saying anything. This prevents downvote gangs from getting together and booting out people who got on the wrong side of an argument.

That's a good idea, but just to clarify, I wasn't suggesting censorship (more like pushing bad comments down and good ones up). I'd simply like to solve the issue of spam, racism, and antisemitism.

@wpstudio :+1: to your idea.

I agree with @wpstudio's idea. The list of what users should be hidden could be stored in the user's users.json so that it can be used in different sites.

"hidden_users": "bad@zeroid.bit, spammer@zeroid.bit",

The downvote on reddit does a lot of harm. A "community solution" could be the possibility to import someone else's block list. This way you can hide what your trusted peer considers hide-worthy.

HIDE button like wpstudio say probobly is a good idea.
