Post by boilerrat »

I have seen many many helpful posts on these forums that deserve some credit. But I was never able to give them any.

I searched and didn't find anything.

My suggestion:

Have the ability to request reputation added to a person's forum account for examples of great posts.

Much like Fpsbanana.com's and the steam forums' system.

Users could click the moderation button on a post like they do now to report a post for being bad, but add a feature to allow to report for being a GOOD post.
A moderator should look at the post and deem it worthy of the rep points.

Like that.

Thoughts?

Very simple I would think.
It could just be another gray bar under your total posts.

Hope you understand karma...

I meant reputation.

My understanding is that this system leads people to go for the quantity is quality approach, using the steam forums as an example, reputation doesn't prove anything that the user has made a few very notable helpful posts, or has been around for a LONG time. It rarely seems to directly correlate with someone who demonstrates a high standard for the rest of the community, merely the person most dedicated to playing the forum.
Players might be hardcoded, but that sure doesn't seem to stop anybody from trying.


The only winning move is not to play. Insurgency, that is.

That's why I said in the original post that the reputation request would have to be approved by a moderator.

BF2S forums anyone? I really don't think it is necessary, or even a good idea.

I'm sure it will lead to engorged E-Penises

I can take or leave systems like this, you can already rate threads and I think that is enough.

Karma or rep as it is known, always causes elitism on forums.

bf2s.com and other websites have severely suffered from it, they even removed the ability to negative rep people due to people simply spamming it or doing it to people they don't like.

Already alot of those (not all) who have a large amount of posts (mostly 1000+) think themselves up. You can simply tell it by their post style.

Would REALLY suggest not having this on. Post count is enough already.

yeah possibly but i think we should still be able to tell who is new and who is not and who is a good sourcer
eg the miletery advisters get a lil bit of text under their name i think this should be done for people who give good answer to questions with a little thing saying "good sourcer" etc.

Advisers already have dev tags and "PR Military Advisor" caption under it

Those who post good/interesting stuff are usually either well known and/or put links into their statements
Those who try to look important and big-headed while being nothing don't last long and get steam-rolled by Gaz or Masaq :mrgreen:

For others you dont like, there is useful ignore list in your profile :smile:

Remove post count,
publish join date,
???
Profit

It should be fairly obvious who's around a lot just by post-style/if you see their posts a lot.

Danke is correct. Those who actually post on the forums or get involved know who to listen to and who not to.

I'd keep the rank system by number of posts, but remove the posts themselves.

People know how many posts you need for a different rank anyway. But they mean nothing really.
