aem4162 Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 i wouldn't mind being voted nicest member :whistle: ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip Posted October 8, 2003 Author Share Posted October 8, 2003 i'd be pretty obvious if members have been getting voted but nobody thinks they're very helpful. Are people really that sad that they'll cheat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malechai Veteran Posted October 8, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 8, 2003 i like this idea. if you consistantly help, people will vote you up and you'll have a more accurate idea of who the helpful members are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 But I'm already the best member. This will just point it out to all of the rest of you. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=SD=- Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 So what would be the timeline for enabling this? Seems almost all agree it would be good to have... :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip Posted October 8, 2003 Author Share Posted October 8, 2003 So what would be the timeline for enabling this? Seems almost all agree it would be good to have... :happy: i suggested the idea, i didnt have a clue whether there was such a feature in IPB or an add-in. we still havent had any response from an admin as to whether they think its doable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threetonesun Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Sounds great, so long as it's a positive only thing. On a lot of boards post count == quality of posts, but I can't so much say that's exactly true here, especially since some of the people who almost never post are the most helpful.

Guest Quick Reply Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I agree to this 1000000000000%!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuarterSwede Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 It sounds like a great idea to me as long as one can only vote once in a given thread (like polls). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip Posted October 11, 2003 Author Share Posted October 11, 2003 emm.... have any admins read this? feedback on possibilities would be greatly appreciated. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowstick Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 If you want an user or thread rating system on a board clogged with idiots that have their own agenda, you better take a look at the SWG forums and their rating chaos, then you might judge again if we indeed need such a system. Besides that, you don't need a user rating system to know what everyone hates me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxxCon Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 so what happened to this idea..? everybody seem to agree but it was never implemented :/ common admin-slaves, get to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaRSightxc2 Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 I agree for a 'is this post helpfull' button, but I don't think a 'the best member is...' idea would work too well. People (may) begin to think that a member not voted as helpfull is therefore a useless member, and their advice is not worth listening to. Also, it may make people with more extreame (although not necessarily 'less helpfull') posts be rated poorly. For example, people might have strong one-sided views on a subject, and another member may disagree and 'rate' the post poorly. This would mean, no matter how well the first person made his/her point, it would be regarded as 'not good' because of the poor rating. Anyway, enough pooly-written ramblings: just something to be considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxxCon Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 like it's been stated above, you wouldn't be able to "vote down", but rather only "vote up" something like this http://www.dslreports.com/faq/8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannes Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 This does sound like an awesome idea. There should be an option that users cannot vote bad things. For example when they think the thread is bad, they don't vote. When they think the thread is good then they vote. As said before this way you will easily find the helpful members and not pick a wrong choice. *cough*silly_walk*cough* :p [jk] So yea this is a good idea, but it's still up to the admins since a mod is being installed it will have some risks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMac Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 This is a good idea hopefully an admin will stumble across it soon enough. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
