The recruitment section is becoming a jungle and since people don’t like negative posts on their topics then perhaps something else will help keep the peace.
i think this is a rly good idea
Why bother? It will be just like youtube with the thumbs up/down. Possibly worse :P
Also kinda impossible since players can edit their skill level / description at any time they like anyways :D
And comments give more insight anyways.
Same thing as negative posts but with the benefit of anonimity and speed.
Sounds good.

I have seen many people be very honest about what they aim for and some who are way off and imagine teams searching for people will find it hard to tell which is which.
Hopefully something like this would give some more indication.
Decent idea.
If you care that much about the comments then just dissable them = problem fixed?

Also opens up another way of abuse (even if thats not the intent of your suggestion, it will probably happen).
Don’t see the point.
Point of Recruitment post is so people know where to go when they need a player, this isn’t a popularity contest.
Then what’s the point of being able to comment on people’s topics?
If it’s for third parties to comment on the skill or w/e of the team/player then I don’t think it’s effective since negative comments often seem to just cause flaming and arguments.
Also this means that unless one person disagrees strongly it’s unlikely their view will be represented.

The point of a recruitment section is for teams to find players, not players to find teams.
Think about it for a minute, that’s an important distinction to make it.
The oweness is on the player to be appealing to a team, not a team to be appealing to a player. You are not doing them a favour by playing for them, they are allowing you to join them, and over time become an equal. I think if people actually treated player/team relationships like this in TF2 (as is the case in every single other concievable thing in life), then we’d have a lot more activity and far more stable teams.

So you can comment on your opinion on the player…long as it is within the forum rules of course. ;)

Actually it goes both ways, if you’re a new team especially. A negative/positive rating system seems pointless to me and having a team over rate themselves with -30 negative votes compared to say +5 isn’t going to solve problems of unstable teams.

what have you been drinking? the marjority of players in my team is very much doing me a favour by playing in my team. and surely i’m not the only one who thinks this?

Nono, you misunderstood.
You have 5 players, you are looking for a new soldier. You decide to trial a player. That player should be trying his best to give a good impression, not ass licky, just show you himself at his best. When you decide to take him on as an official player, you are now all equal. Nobody is really doing each other a favour simply by being a team together, you’ve all just mutually decided that it’s something you enjoy.

This is a fair point, but I’m sure a better model could be devised than simply a reddit-esque system.
