Post Ratings

[GrandOldTeam]

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...

I think everyone was shocked to hear that, even after your cathartic @Gordon Bennett multi, you were still so hurt about being negged that you had to contact the site owner directly

We didn't know it affected you so badly and we are sad

I got excited when I logged on and seen this thread bumped near the top.

@GrandOldTeam is well gonna reject it this at the end of the trial period. I can tell from the way he's priming us for disappointment.

He has asked us, as far as I can see, to do three things

- no neg bombing
- get the likes to negs ratio well above 3:1
- be happy and frandly (he didn't say this but I feel like he means it)

I think we can all do this. @-wizard- 's private cry for help directly to the top of the GOT tower will NOT go unheard

You truly are an example to others on how to behave responsibly on GOT orly.

@GrandOldTeam
How about limiting the number of Thumbs downs you can give a day to 10-15?
Would at least slow down the abuse.

Or perhaps setting it up so that one thumbs down costs the poster giving it one like? It's only virtual numbers on a website after all.

I really don't know nor care who you are but for every single moaning post about getting negged you're getting another neg added onto the pile by me.
Please stop posting gash cryarsing about how people dislike you on the internet so that I can stop disliking your posts and instead give thumbs up to funnies.
Thank you in advance, K xxx

Yeah but he is going to commission us a new boss one with -10 neg bombs for the forum supporters.

It is all in the name of self-moderation.

Thanks mate.

I refuse to believe he has gone.

He doesn't have enough to keep him occupied in work for him to leave for good lol
