Kosher Ham Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I personally never want to see the reputation crap. It becomes a "who's your boy" type of thing, where the same people get rep passed back and forth regardless of what they say. I have seen it on several boards and some of the posters with the highest rep are as dumb as a rock, based on one good post, or one good thread, over their years on the forum. Even if you did a negative rep it wouldnt work, because inevitably some jackass would continue to try to get negative rep. As far as this whole rate the thread stuff, I agree with Die Hard and OM. Dont think it will make any difference (or work), and just clutters the look of the board. But giving it a try doesnt hurt. One guy starts a thread thats flat out stupid, the first person that reads in rates it a 5, others click to read but dont rate. And say I start a researched thread about some random topic, and the first few people that read it is some of the very many rival fans that may not post much, but certainly are here frequently. Ehhh... I appreciate your efforts, but certainly dont truly support this idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 Terps. If we enable reputations, the ultimate point would be we'd likely try to put in numbers that essentially banned members based on score. Obviously this wouldn't be automated as you could have 10 Eagle fans gang up on TR1 in Around the NFL to knock him out of here, and we'd ultimately review and have to approve reputation entries, but, if they are right, fair and reasonable, your negative rep will lead to an explusion, not a perpetual negative rep . As you can see, there are complexities to work out before that is fully embraced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the burgundy and gold Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 this is kinda cool, now if i'm low on time i can just click on the highly rated ones rather than wasting time on the bad ones. good idea by the mods... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooka Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 For the repuation thing, how about giving people a certin number of votes per day, week, month, whatever. It could be based on your post count, or time you've been a member on this site. That would eliminate people just voting a billion times. As for the rating threads... the stars make the board look too crowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flexxskins Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I don't understand the complaint about the stars making the board appear cluttered. Whoever has complained about that, could you possibly take a sec and explain that concept to me and why it bothers you? Thanks. P.S. While you are at it, could you explain "Fung Shway?"

jrockster21 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Great idea. One question - is there any way to keep your sorting permanently? I rank the threads by rating, but then once I enter and leave a thread again, it goes back to the default ranking system (by time). It's a useless idea... and the results are showing themselves. People don't know how to vote for threads.You have quality news and rumor threads being voted 2 stars because fans don't like the concept of the information... regardless of the quality of the content. Give it some time, bro! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinnedAussie Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 One thing that needs to be looked at is that a thread cannot be voted on more than once by the same member. I have lodged my vote for this thread, and when the page refreshed, I still have the ability to vote again (and possibly again and again and again .......). For anyone who decides to cheat the system, continued low voting would give a false indication to the true rating of any given thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinnedAussie Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 OK, I see there is something in place, but I didn't try to vote a second time before my earlier post as voting more than once its just not the done thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Now only if threads rated a 2 stars or below are bumped from the 1st page after a hour or so. that would be lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Die Hard Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 How come I can't see your avatar Mr. Hard? No idea... I've noticed this glitch for the past 2 days. I'm not in a position to do anything about it. Then again, I couldn't care less about avatars or post counts either.

SkinsFTW Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I think some of the avatars were missing. I can see yours now though but Buffords is gone. Maybe its a new way for the Redskins to save bandwidth, randomly removing avatars, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
