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...

Interesting thread...

Have we found out who negged @roydo yet ? Very , VERY Unsavoury that ! Must have been someone with a grudge eh ? A poster who has fell out with him recently I guess! How immature and sad !

 

[Martino Robertez]

I suppose the only way we'll know he's active is if you or I receive a load.

His @The GhostofDoggyDangers multi did a job on me.

It's only random numbers on the internet mate, if it bothers you so much put him on Ignore.

I don't have to hide behind a multi to neg @roydo Donald. I have negged him a few times. Feel free to ask him.

Mods, I know you've put him on ignore for me but seriously? This is all the time and I know I'm not the only one he does this to.

He didn't mention you, he was talking about someone else I think.

Or is this your guilty conscience coming to the fore?

I just don't know what he gets out of it, firstly he wrongly accuses me of something and secondly he blatantly violates the rules in regards to playing the ref.

Myself and @roydo publicly fell out recently and after apologies from both sides we have put it behind us.

Donald is quite blatantly trying to stir things again.

You support that?

He wasn't talking about you though was he.
He was asking if the culprit has been caught.

Shitstirrer that dog botherer is.

He said it was someone who had recently fell out wit roydo. As far as I'm aware in the last week since this started happening that I'm the only one to do that.

You're not thick, don't act it.

Perhaps the mods could tell us how many 'sad and immature' posters they have fallen out with recently.
I doubt you'd be the only one. If you are then you might have a point and he's out of order.

That's not up to us though.

Anyway I'm not going to sit here and squabble over it, I've said my piece and I don't want to waste any of the moderators time.
