Sorry, but I'm sticking to my opinion that this will prove to be more counter productive. Not only do I think it will draw comments away from new peoples replays even more than already happens when someone semi well known posts, but I also think that it will discourage creativity in the replays themselves as people will see what was stickied and try to emulate that as opposed to trying to make something new and creative that is pleasing to
them. Not to mention the humongous amount of potential here for this to turn into yet another cool kids club on the forums where only a select subset of people are given stickies.
Its like you are taking the complaints of a few people and applying them to the whole community. Of course a lot of people in this thread are agreeing with it, many of them are replays makers and the chance to get rewarded for it sounds great, but I think the potential for negative outweighs the potential for positive.
Why not just re-work it and integrate the voting section into the main board? To the best of my knowledge we have this whole system in place that nobody uses because it is klunky and separate from the main replays board...Yet there is still a tab for it at the top of the screen. Also maybe advertise replay comps ON the replay board.
The fact is you wont get people to comment more if they don't want to, call them selfish or lazy or w/e, but its just how people are, and its lame that it is making such a commotion, and yes, it
is because people are upset because they aren't getting attention, that is the root of this thread and I don't see how pointing that out is somehow flaming. Highvoltage noticed his replay comments had diminished, and he took that as a signal that somehow the system was falling apart, when in reality it was just the normal flow of that particular board. I've done it too, and I stopped making replays for a while because of it. Then I remembered that it is fun to make and share my replays, and I made them anyway, haven't cared much since.
tl;dr...there is no tl;dr, sorry.
