Zip Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=SD=- Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 That would be nice to see, thought I am plenty sure I have received well more then I have given here but to see an actual number would be kinda cool ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DsnBehind Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 It would receive too much abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=SD=- Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Well as long as you couldn't vote for yourself, I don't really see how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DsnBehind Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzla Veteran Posted October 5, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 5, 2003 "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.

Dazzla Veteran Posted October 5, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 5, 2003 I think it could be a cool feature. Means a hell of a lot more then post counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYBOLD Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 some kind of karma post rating would be the best replacement, a number doesn't say a thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsnotabigtruck Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 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.

CatnipOligarchy Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 not a bad idea, but people could get their friends to vote them up more... so it could be abused that way too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanctified Veteran Posted October 7, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 7, 2003 something like this will rise the quality of the posts, I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangesOfCourse Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 maybe it can be like postcount... (ex. for every 5 votes... you get one point, or something like that.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceminess Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 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. maybe it can be like postcount... (ex. for every 5 votes... you get one point, or something like that.) whats the point in that, its just like the stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vip Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 i think it might improve the overall postings... i wish post counts would be hidden anyways :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Veteran Posted October 7, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 7, 2003 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
