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...

dunno mate , was thinking you were being more agreeable till you started peddling those lies about me negging moderators ! Now you might be a few things but I'm pretty sure you aint a liar so I'd pack it now while you've been given the heads up!

In fairness Donnie not naming names but someone who's friendly with you has been sending PMs outing you as the phantom negger. That's a heads up mate.

Playing catch up here.

Can somebody give me a recap of the evening's festivities?

From my point of view....
A week after it was stated (in a thread about avatars) that for 'security reasons', no avatars could be changed, several people have been able to change theirs *cough* you included *cough*.

Oh you mean Don? Some people think Kris Akabusi is doing his running for him.

State of this.

I'm being straight up bro. Someone has been sending PMs to lids on here saying that you're the mod negger. For what it's worth I'm not having it.

I don't know who to believe Donny, the waters are pretty mirky right now.

Big fan of the Anonymous new *cough* multis *cough* accounts signing up and negging everyone in site without posting.

Ive noticed this C.

Only started happening once the culprit was unmasked, all very, very unsavoury quite frankly.

 

[Woolly Blue]

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?

I'd be interested to here what @the sniderman thinks about this.

Fortunately for me, I know how to use a computer.

I can change my avatar. Does this make me a suspect?

I can do it on my phone.

Call the cops...

Yes. I suspect you're in the avatar clique.
