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...

Can we replace Avatars with a live stream of the poster via their webcam so that we get to see live reaction to either a like or a 'koff?

I promise not to masturbate to the live stream more than a couple of times.

This gets a definite thumbs up from me, despite your promise being a complete lie.

You broke even from me becoming a forum supporter just to neg people.

Everyone can thumbs down a post. Was only a few hours it was forum supporters only.

The cruel irony here is you're #1 on the list to remove thumbs down from

The naming of the thumbs down action is a deliberate attempt to avoid the swear filter.

You should be ashamed of yourself for these double standards.

Tbf, all those tommye posts weren't going to neg themselves.

Complaining about negative reputation Donald?

Good to see you've taken this bravely.

Just checked, I've made 32 negs since yesterday.

Excessive?

I've given over 41 thousand likes - not the same timescale obviously but a bit of perspective here wouldn't go amiss.

Nearly 57,000 likes for me and only 97 negs

Shows what a frandly, encouraging chap I am

 

[Prevenger17]

It says "Well said" beside likes now. What is this madness!?

So what you're saying is, on a per day basis, you give 3x the neg rep as you do likes?

Not a fan of this.

Much preferred like and koff.

 

[Prevenger17]

Lolling at Bungle's masturbation posts now having "10 x Well Said" beneath them

 

[Boss_Blue]

Yep and now koff is dislike.

*dislikes post

 

[Tubey]

Yep and now koff is dislike.
