POLL: RECOVER RATINGS THROUGH POSTING

1341 Views 15 Replies 8 Participants Last post by  Smokin
Currently it is difficult to regain your rating after a troll or another member has degraded your rating. Currently the rating is done by average. A single 1 vote can be detrimental to your rating and my be difficult to recover. There is a proposal to recover ratings (sunglasses) by posting. Each post will yield points towards the recovery of maximum ratings. Should this be done?

Ok hows this? 2 points for one sunglass back. 50 posts for a point. I think it would be ridiculous to start a poll on the rules for this. I think a discussion here will work....at least I hope it will work /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Well, its a double edged sword. Granted post count is not the "end all" in saying what kind of contributor someone is for the board. But it is a good indicator. Someone with 50 posts in one year is not a real significant contributor, but someone with 2000 in one year is more LIKELY to be one. Granted, those posts may have contain post whoring, but weve ran polls on all these subjects already. The fact of the matter is, that the members want post counts, and moderators can lock post whoring threads when they are out of hand. So since these things all do exist, and have been voted on, lets table those issues and try to improve upon or remove the flaws on a platform that the users like and have voted to keep.

It seems that supreme viper's gripe is with post counts and user ratings. However weve had polls on these subjects already. They are there. So voting no, doesnt change this, the question is not whether or not you want to be able to recover ratings through contributing to the board, knowing that the moderators CAN stop post whoring if it gets out of hand.

Supreme, I have no problem with it. But as you have noticed the characters on this board are competitive over everything. Everyone is trying to outdo the next person on every facet of every little thing. I think it adds to the fun. But it might be part of the makeup of people who strive to be the best they can be at everything. The mere fact that they buy the Viper, an inpractical toy to everyone else, but these guys must have the fastest, best, most monstrous beast this side of $1/4 million.
Actually it isnt a tie anymore wiht "yes" outnumbering no with 2 votes. This poll has run its course. The members have voted to have a point system put in place to recover sunglasses.
