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...

It is because of monstrous posts like this we will never again reach the heights of toilet seats and tin can surgery.

I hope that you are suitably ashamed of yourselves.

I'll add it to the many things I've got to be ashamed of.

Irrespective of how his break from the forum came about it'll probably do him some good, it can be quite addictive and in turn you start taking it far more serious than you should.

Spend far too much time on here myself to be honest, but apart from an outburst against Damo, I try not to take it seriously.

Oh wait - you were hinting that I should 'koff and get a life???
