alright let's get right to the point
I believe frags on tftv should be no longer. if you really think about it, frags do not make sense. have you ever seen a post that you agreed with, but then looked at the frags and saw -13 frags??? most likely, that post contained an unpopular opinion in a discussion. (or it was an axiomatic post)
A lot of people in this community are bandwagoners. not many people even realize this, but people will see a post that has -frags and their brain will instantly believe that the post is some stupid senseless shit. or, they'll see a post with +frags and then believe everything that person says. as a result, frags make our teamfortresstv community less open minded. instead of just -fragging a post, a person who disagrees with the post would have to provide for reason for why they disagree.
My hypothesis is that people are afraid to express their opinions sometimes on this site because they'll think they will just get -fragged and have a slightly bad name in the community. in what way is that acceptable?
Also, people with good names in the community almost never get -fragged, so their opinions are almost always more relevant than people who have different ones. how often do you see invite players get -fragged?
