TheSchaef took down the old system. Based on your experience with this system, how would you change/improve it?

Lurch · « **Reply #1 on:** July 13, 2010, 12:02:41 PM »

I would much rather encourage a post in this instance than a person. If they still wanted to encourage people, I would say maybe have the counter for how many times you have been encouraged only visible to you... So that it doesnt become a competition.

Agreed. I said on the original thread that I feel it would have worked much better if the + 1 option was on posts, rather than users. However, Schaef said it was not available in the software and lacked the time and programming expertise to do so.

+ 1 to posts would greatly improve the system.

Are you certain this is the manner in which you want to portray the discussion?

There is no per-post support in this version of the forums and I lack the time and programming expertise to do a custom job just for this.

You said something about not having time to spend on that. That's what I meant, sorry if you took that the wrong way.

Fixed it.

I agree per post is better, but I think having no "Encouragement" at all is just fine.

BlazerCC · « **Reply #7 on:** July 13, 2010, 12:45:44 PM »

To put my two cents in,

I agree in the per-post encouagement and i am also trying to learn how it might be created so that it isnt just aa dream for those who really enjoied the system.

I believe that it would greatly decrease on the "

", "+ 1", "i agree", and meny simalar posts alot of see as spam, but would still alow people to agree with what is being said in say the "Ruling Questions" section of the boards.

I would only include the -1.

There still needs to be more to it than that. Maybe we could include an electric jolt sent to the poster's mouse/keyboard/cell phone.

Master KChief · « **Reply #10 on:** July 13, 2010, 01:29:30 PM »

what if the poster is pikachu?

BlazerCC · « **Reply #11 on:** July 13, 2010, 01:37:07 PM »

if i figure out how to make the + 1, i will look at the -1 but will it will still be schaef's choice as to what he gives us, i would think at the least if -1 is included you will be required to post a reason.

The Schaef · « **Reply #12 on:** July 13, 2010, 01:46:40 PM »

-1 was in the existing system, I intentionally disabled it because there would be no end to the abuses. This environment already has too much of tearing other people down without also giving them the means to thumb-down someone's post.

SomeKittens · « **Reply #13 on:** July 13, 2010, 05:06:02 PM »

Cool. What changes would you make to make the system less prone to abuse?

alpal455 · « **Reply #14 on:** July 13, 2010, 05:10:09 PM »

Ban TheHobbit13 there we go no more + 1 abuse, and hopefully -1 abuse to or will we have to ban sauce to.

Master KChief · « **Reply #15 on:** July 13, 2010, 05:29:19 PM »

dont hate the player, hate the game.

SomeKittens · « **Reply #16 on:** July 13, 2010, 05:48:41 PM »

I'll prefer to not reference it as "a game"

BlazerCC · « **Reply #17 on:** July 13, 2010, 06:01:03 PM »

looks like my efforts at a "thumbs down" would be a waist of my time so for now i will not even persue it.

Warrior_Monk · « **Reply #18 on:** July 13, 2010, 06:16:09 PM »

should be like facebook. like topics and posts. but there should be a dislike button.

BlazerCC · « **Reply #19 on:** July 13, 2010, 06:23:10 PM »

I agree with Schaef on the Dislike Button, there is WAY too much tearing down on this fourm.

putting a dislike button up is only going to open up a can of worms that will cause a mass exodus. (i would bet of meny players that have been a vary positive infulence to not only members on the boards but people the meet at tournaments)

dislike posts could be a way to clean up spam though.

I agree less spam, because we will drive the spamers out of our so call Christian community, along with some of the none spamers.

perhaps I should have explained further. on YouTube, if a post gets too many dislikes, it's deleted.

BlazerCC · « **Reply #23 on:** July 13, 2010, 06:53:18 PM »

who then becomes the evil overlord that desides when something has to many dislikes?

mabey if we didn't already abuse a system already on the boards we could "Report to Moderator" a post and they would look into it, but in too many case we abuse that too and they just start ignoring those messages.

Schaef is already the tyrannical overlord, what's the difference?
