    Make just saying support/no-support mutable/warnable without any constructive ideas/criticism. That's what the support/no-support rating is for.

    Clarification: This is to encourage the use of the support button and discourage (intentional/unintentional) post farming.

    Clarification 2: Saying no support or support should be warnable. Use the support buttons and only post if you have constructive ideas

    Idea from @Fight:

    The support/no support/neutral rating I guess is an extra.
    For example: I've just posted 7 posts on different suggestions, what do I do? I use the support button.

    I most defiantly do not think it should be a mute/warn.

    I dont think you quiet got it. I am encouraging the use of the support button and discouraging (intentional/unintentional) post farming.

    I support the fact that people should use it, but it shouldn't be a warn/mute.

    ^^ That is what I meant.

    People who dislike posts should not be punished, If someone makes a really good post and someone disliked the post it might look like a random dislike..But everyone has their own opinions and people sometimes do not like posts.Therefore they should not receive a punishment
    Good luck with the idea;)

    I completely agree. People abuse the ability to comment "support" or "no support" without any useful information to post farm. If you have nothing else to say, just use the rating because that way people can see replies that actually have some useful feedback.

    Support! It's basically post farming even if you don't do it in a short period of time. The only problem is this would result in a ton of warnings handed out

    I support but I don't believe you need to give constructive criticism if you support someone as you think the idea is perfect and has no flaws :)

    Neutral, considering if it's a moderator application and you just say "no support", people tend to question, but then there's hundreds of the same replies. So technically, this isn't needed, but at the same time it's understandable.

    No support. If someone no supports something, they will also give some advice to help change that no support.

    I am saying saying just no support should be an offence. But saying no support and a reason is fine.

    "
    • Do not post farm. Post farming is when you post rapidly to increase your message count. These messages can be considered spam and be deleted with warning points applied to your account."
    Saying support should be considered post farming if its just to get a higher post count.

    (is it me or is half or mineverse dumb/brainless)
