IPB "Best Member" feature?


Recommended Posts

i've noticed some other boards have a feature which allows users to vote if they found someones post useful (like tek-tips). does invision board have a feature like this that can be enabled?

i think it might help neowin to fight the useless post group who see post count as a form of supremacy. should it not be on how helpful you are on the boards? i just thought it might be an incentive to make people even more helpful than they already are and reward them (with praise - lol)

anyways, just a suggestion

Tyler

oh n btw, i do think neowin is very helpful. but things can always be improved - this motto ring any bells OC'ers?

/edit - spelling

Well as long as you couldn't vote for yourself, I don't really see how.

"I hate you. You're annoying."

Then, a simple click to lower the rating, and there is your abuse.

Worrying about what people might say about you? :rolleyes:

Besides, I believe you can only vote positively, so you don't get people ganging up.

Whatever you do, don't model your karma system after BZPower (its a site about LEGO sets but I'm just using it to prove a point on karma systems). The moderators and administrators are jerks. They lower people's "proto energy" (stupid name for karma) for the smallest things like saying "first post" in the comments section for news articles.

maybe it can be like postcount... (ex. for every 5 votes... you get one point, or something like that.)

or maybe there could be another button (maybe next too report or somthing) it would say "rate this member" or i have seen where it was in the profile of people, where it says in a scale 1-10 rate this member,

I agree that it would raise the quality of posts.

i think this would be a great thing to have. neowin's posts would be improved as a whole IMO and people just might be a little more friendly :happy:

yes... but its not for the amount of posts you do...it how many people actually rated for you... and unless you can get 500 people to rate good for you... you rating will not be going up really fast.... so less abuse.. :|
