(Feedback site) Rating system, and Quality Critiquers

under review

People seemed to respond favourably to my suggestion to add comment replies and notifications. If these were implemented, it would raise its feasibility as a brainstorming site to reddit's level. Now I'm going to suggest something that would raise it high above reddit.

When I first joined r/minecraftsuggestions, I soon came to realise that it is not the most ideal place to brainstorm: posts can be voted for without giving feedback or contributing to the idea, gaining support for an idea often is a matter of lucky timing and and the bandwagon effect. This can lead to extremely inconsequential changes snowballing in attention and support, while more sensible and potentially worthwhile suggestions for Minecraft drown.

When HelenAngel first become active on the subreddit, I was overjoyed. She has given us a lot of insight into what is suitable for a suggestion, and since she will read any post you tag her in, we can rest assured we don't need to appease hundreds of internet strangers for the idea to be considered!

The increased Mojang staff presence has opened up a window of opportunities. So here's my idea for transforming this site into a true meritocracy.

  1. When you first submit a suggestion, any old person can vote on it. If the suggestion is bad, they can leave a comment, or report it if it breaks the rules. The more votes a suggestion gets, the more visibility it gets.
  2. This makes it more likely to be seen by Quality Critiquers (name is a WIP), who have the ability to rate posts. This role can be gained by leaving a lot of quality feedback. To rate a suggestion, they must first leave a comment, and then may rate the suggestion from 1 to 5 stars. These restrictions, I hope, will prevent 1-star ratings from becoming the new downvotes. The rating will be displayed next to the post.
  3. To increase your post's average rating, you can edit your post according to the feedback you got, which will notify the commenter and prompt them to increase their rating. Suggestions with high ratings can be submitted to the developers, who can give the final word on whether they like the suggestion or not. Since only the best are submitted, this minimises the time and effort developers have to go to, which means they can spend more time adding awesome stuff to the game!

Note: small suggestions that slightly change a feature in no meaningful way should be reported, and ratings restricted. This prevents them from dominating the page, encouraging people to think more creatively.

I believe such changes would truly mark this place as a powerful tool for both players and developers alike. What do you all think?

    All I did was update the topic line and read the entire post here so it'd be easy to tell from the team at a glance if we're talking about the over all minecraft.net site, the bug site, or this one.

    Yes, these ideas sound good. Funnily enough, I just submitted another post jointly with ClayGoddessSari that tries to address the same problems you do, and some of our ideas even overlap. You should take a look at them :)

    I hope Nova and team take these ideas into consideration.

    YES! I would love to actually search the marketplace for letting the creators know something is or isn't happening, instead of searching all over the internet to tell them the information.

    When I bought minecraft and opened it and closed it it showed minecraft trial. I think the way to fix this is to make minecraft trial and original two separate apps in Microsoft Store. Can you please do this?

    I hope the team is still considering this because a lot of unique ideas are getting flagged for removal because some 8 year old kid made a 6 word post on the same feature. This would allow the community to help moderate the feedback website and ensure posts are quality and follow the rules, and if a post already has your general idea and you have to reply as a comment, people can raise your comments profile higher if your idea is a solid improvement on the suggestion.

    Does the team see new comments made on a three year old post with 7 votes? If not, that is probably the biggest issue with the feedback website considering many ideas are already posted and you cannot share your take on it.

    That in Minecraft bedrock the ax does the same attack damage as Minecraft Java but this would be the only tool with recharge time.

    In an update in the future it would be really cool to see wolf armor or something along those line. One more thing that would be neat is if you could make the callers glow when using a glow ink sac. Those are my suggestions.

    I like all the ideas but not the last note. Small changes can sometimes have a big impact on the game and this is the only official place where small changes like this can be shared.
