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...

Surprised at @roydo being that high. Dafuq has gone on there?

How does everybody feel it is going?

Ratio of my positive reps over negative ones stands at over 40:1.

Thought so.

To be fair though Dave, you've had nearly 10 years to rack up your likes vs just under a month for your 'koffs. If we prorata'd it, you'd be ~ +38,000/-86,000

I think a lot of the dislikes I received were just errors from posters who clicked thumbs down rather than thumbs up...them being so close together.

That's the only thing that explains it for me.

I think he's insinuating your eyes are too close together mate, makes picking between the likes and koff's hard

Likes only became a thing when we switched to new platform a couple of years ago. So probably more 38k/58k tbf
