Post Ratings

As discussed here, we've today started trialling a new post rate system.

Previously members could 'Like' a post. Now, they can 'Like' or 'Dislike' ('KOF') a post. Those who have been posting for a while will remember it being similar to the rep system, but without the ability to comment.

The developers reckon it;

  • Increases daily posts.
  • Improves signal to noise ratio; less short/unnecessary posts
  • Improves quality of posts (posters want to avoid negative ratings)
  • Makes lurkers useful for something and gives them a means of interaction
And, it can help self moderate - there's a setting that allows 'x' amount of dislikes to place a post in a moderation queue.

We'll be tweaking the system over the next week or two to see if it can work. Be mindful that if we notice people taking the piss with it (targeting members etc) then we'll revoke access and it'll be a mark in the against category for the feature...

Do you know what Thomas I really think we should

To hear that @-wizard- was so upset he felt he needed to confide privately in the 'powers that be', despite gamely putting on a brave front, has rather touched my cold heart.

Let us get in the waters. Come on everyone, get your Speedos on.

@MorgsGoat it is time Friend. Time for everyone to say sorry.

I call on everyone who likes the Waters of Forgiveness to give no negs for one week

It is finally time frandels.

We must make that ratio of 3 likes to every negging into 30 likes for every one neg .

We've not gone too far - lord knows that @Donald Twain and @-wizard- have sinned, oh my they have sinned, but now we must turn the other cheek and be kind

We must take them in, gently perhaps but then a little more forcefully, into the Waters

I, Mahatma Orly, declare that I will not neg a single individual for the whole of this week, phase two of the trial
