It’s good to be back on this forum after a long while.
I’ll just be honest, this 1000%. There’s no reason to to think that ‘meh’ spammers actually care about fairness or the Hive’s ability to moderate this issue, so this is just simply going to spiral into a ‘report’ spamming issue if it now counts for 0 (or -1) points. And I think we all know we don’t want that, especially as the team needs to constantly monitor these reports.
The Hive’s voting system is similar to a lot of build battle style games, but I’m sure that you are all aware that it’s flawed. I mean, you’re literally allowing your opponents to determine whether you win or not. That’s why ‘meh’ spammers exist, after all. So what I’ll say is that reporting a build can’t count for fewer points than the lowest rating you can give. Otherwise, that’s just what’s gonna be spammed instead. And trust me, people will quickly learn even if you try to implement this secretly. I do agree however, that reporting a build shouldn’t default to a ‘good’ rating. People forget to vote on reportable builds and giving a ‘good’ rating, even by mistake, should be fixed.
TL;DR: Don’t give ‘meh’ spammers more power.
