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...

But how will people carpet bomb folks with dislikes when they didn't agree with a post but wouldn't leave any posts themselves?

You know who you are (or were).

If our phantom negger is reading this, @roydo says you can send him flowers each night now instead if you like.

Prev lad. I'm telling you.
@Woolly Blue and I have carried out extensive research over a number of weeks and both independently came to the same conclusion. We then spent further time reviewing each others notes to make certain our results.

@Prevenger17 has scores to settle. Ray seems to be his chosen target.


Make of all that what you will.

I've never had a beef with the Prev so I assumed it was someone else.

I have found the post rating system to be a very useful tool so far.

If someone disagrees with me or doesn't like what i have said, seems a lot simpler to dislike the post and not write a comment out to explain why.

Similarly it is nice to get thumbs up for something you post rather than someone replying to say they agree.
