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...

Something I've noticed: not all 'likes' come up on the notifications. Just posted something, it's got 2 likes, but only got a notification for one of them. How does that work?

I'm not bothered about the lack of notification, just thought it might be a bug.

Dont worry about it mate x

Sad that some members have run out of real friends so have to make multis for back up. You can't jig alone can you?
