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...

Some absolute virgin logs on at 2am to leave about 300 neg reps to roydo.

He/she actually had to create email accounts/verify them to do it (created a few accounts) - some absolute freaks about.

Far be it for me to play the ref, but that sounds like someone with a grievance against Roydo, perhaps someone he's banned recently ?

I'm sure the possibility has already crossed the mod teams minds, I'm merely vocalising that possibility.

Doubtless said negger will have covered his tracks by hiding behind an IP blocker, so, for their sake, lets hope it wasn't the same blocker that they may have used for one of their previous multis.

Anyway, it's time for our tea.

I can only imagine seeing as his presence hasn't been felt with a multi that perhaps you're right. It could genuinely be that man.

Good shout that, previous for vindictivness and multis.
