[Suggestion] Remove number of decl-views from the frontpage
I would really love to see those Views removed, at least from the frontpage. Why? Because it simply doesn't tell anything about the deck. Likes and Comments are the things that matter, but Views, i don't think so. You could still leave it as background attribute, or only when looking directly at the deck, like it is at the moment under "Social Stats"
Also it's way to easy to cheat them up, so it's a number that doesn't tell anything about the deck AND can easily be faked.

This comment is below the comment score threshold. So for now, it's exiled.
I tend to agree.
Trolls/thieves are beefing up their views, which can be a little demoralizing for anyone new to the site, seeing others having a 1000 views while having very few views on your own.
It also encourages new users to seek out the "popular guys" setting them up for either a honneypot scheme or trolling.
But from an "old user view" it is possible to use views to improve your own work by looking closely at your old decks and comparing which tags and titles probably attracted your viewers.

I agree. When I eventually get back to working on the new design I think I will remove a few things. To be honest with you, I think a lot of the "social" aspects we tried to bring in haven't worked out as originally intended and could do with a good rethink. I wanted mtgvault to primarily be a simple, nice to use tool that you can use by yourself to help brew, keep track of lists, share ideas etc.
I want this tool to be about the user's own account, the deck building tools and the decks themselves. Nothing else really matters. We'll get there.

I think a "zero interaction" model might be best
No upvotes no downvotes, no comments.
If people want advice or to discuss things, then the forums can cover it.
I'd also like you to take a serious chat with your moderators.
Exiled comments used to be readable by a click on the nearby [+]
But that feature has been disabled.
There was a period where no matter what I said got downvoted, and people was unable to see why.
The root of the problem ofcourse is that comments "can" get downvoted.
This place is seriously a trolls nest and I've tried to get in touch with you forever to give you a tour through the entire network.
They set up shop directly after the crash in 2006, and in many of their earlier posts you can pretty much read into their chit chat, how they will wreck the place. Some even held combat speeches.
