Deck sharing is nice, hyperbole isn't

I feel personally attacked friend, considering you downvoted all of my decks. Even accused me before of falsely advertising my decks, when I didn't list any winrates or even say the deck was powerful.
You know what other type of people were annoying on Hearthpwn? Hypocrites.

Gosh dang it, cards bad.
I dunno, man. I mean, I get what you're saying--I'm a little disappointed in that I haven't really found any "cool" decks on this site too--but it sounds like your post reads like a call to the outof.cards staff to police what decks show up and/or how they are described. I think all these sites are essentially crowd-sourcing the review process, and I think they are depending on that as part of their business model. (Otherwise you're looking at something like a Hsreplay model, where all the "good stuff" is pay-walled off so that they can generate an additional revenue stream beyond donations and advertisement.) That would imply its really up to us community members to be a little more disciplined, resisting the urge to give additional weight to decks from charismatic streamers or click-baity titles and instead evaluate them on their merit.
Just flipped through the first 3 pages of decks, none of them list a winrate in the title.
Gosh dang it, cards bad.
Here's the deal.
We're a community deck sharing website at the core. If you don't like that, I encourage you to use a site like HSReplay that uses pooled stats or to check out news articles that come out from us which highlight decks that are either fun or have proven records. You aren't the person the deck database is for and won't be unless we're able to collect enough of our own statistically significant data to have sortable winrates.
I don't want to enforce any sort of rules yet on what people can and cannot share at this time. People should be intelligent enough to figure out that decks can't actually have a 100% winrate, just like they should also know that a "Legend" deck doesn't actually mean anything at the end of the day since you can't actually drop out of Legend. Plus, getting super strict about stuff just makes us the bad guy. I'd rather have a bunch of chill people on the site than elitist pricks - the entire Hearthstone game is fueled on a casual audience =).
Also, we're already not HearthPwn.
Sure, we may lack a few features people would like, but those only take some time to build and yet we're on a path they are without a doubt jealous of.
Also, yeah, people should consider a monthly contribution on Patreon. Every dollar helps pay the server bills without resorting to ads and we're constantly making the site a better place to hang out on.

Interesting. All of my decks get downvotes minutes after you angrily respond to one of my comments, and then just a few minutes ago all of those downvotes are reversed?
Gosh dang it, cards bad.
Why would you lie?
I'm looking at a terminal output right now with all your voting data. You've downvoted 14 things on the site, 9 being decks Colin wrote guides on.
That is shit we don't want to continue here and you bet is going to be actively policed. Vote harassment is beyond stupid and is the real plague of community sites.
And just so we're clear, you're not the only one who has done this. I've removed close to 600 negative votes over the past couple of days with one of the biggest offenders hitting 142 decks.

All my decks have a 40000% win rate. I go from rank 20 to #1 legend in 1 game.
Communism is just a red herring
So hold on a second. Are you telling me the database was lying? I better put a bug report in so I can check that out /s
I hate calling people out on it but if you're going to make public statements that are factually incorrect, I don't really have a choice. Don't do it again and we're cool.

I'm going to lock the thread now since tony has started deleting his posts.
Let this be a lesson, don't lie about facts.
