Post rating system: concept.

Postby Stiivais » Mon May 28, 2012 8:15 am

First of all, excuse me if this has been suggested numerous time, as i am not familiar with this sub-forum (only suggestion i made was about utilities section, yay, it got implemented).
Secondly, i do not know of the limitations this forum software has (im assuming that it is bbpress plugin for wordpress or something), but we should have capable coders somewhere...

So, the idea itself is quite simple: we give forums a post rating system. Mod forums, for example, could make a good use of this. You open the subforum and are presented with 5 star rating between title and posts count, which has been given by users (overall average).
This would greatly increase the fluidity of navigation and would allow us not to waste our time on those "kewl!!1" mods.

btw, grammar deuces, go away, this is posted by phone. rest of you, discuss!

Cool, now I can vote anyone who disagrees me as 0 stars :)

Highly abuse-able system, guaranteed not to be used properly, besides we already have the report button.

That'll be sad for new modders, then. How could they possibly improve if they get no feedback :/

I say neigh.
To a Physicist, white and black is the presence and absence of color.
To a Fine Artist, white and black are just shades and tints of color.
To a Painter, any paint that you could get into a can is a color.
THIS color, on the other hand, is #b4d455.

It's a nice concept but like everyone is saying it'd be highly abusable and sad for new modders. They need constructive criticism not a simple 1/5 stars, Besides White-Knights like me would give particularly bad mods 3/5 and 4/5 to keep spirits up which would still be abusing the system. Because this would most-likely be used for modders.
For normal posts like stated by Gorman, people would just rate a topic 0/5 because someone disagreed with them.

In short, No.

Sorry.
