Title: Karma (User Rating) Enabled on Forums
Post by: jitspoe on February 20, 2007, 03:41:00 PM
I figured I'd give this a shot to see how it is.  I can just disable it if people find it distracting or it gets abused.

You need to be more established on the forums.  I put some post and time limits on to reduce potential abuse.  After you've been around for a while, you'll see "[ + ] [ - ]" under the ratings, which you can click on.

Per person.  At least I think that's the way it works.  Once a month, basically.

why did i just go negative?

Once you have more posts, you can click on the + or - under somebody's name to impact their karma.
Title: Re: Karma (User Rating) Enabled on Forums
Post by: nightryder on February 20, 2007, 11:09:14 PM
how many posts do you need?

Post by: Gremlin on February 20, 2007, 11:12:10 PM
ahhh ok...thats why it was making me confused. cool, not as slow as i thought i was, haha. so what happens when your karma gets really high or really low? do ya get a prize for behaving or beaten severely for being a peckerhead? ya know, like an incentive program. incentives are important, learned that in rehab. lol cap'n ron ftw.
Title: Re: Karma (User Rating) Enabled on Forums
Post by: jitspoe on February 20, 2007, 11:16:41 PM
nightryder: At the moment, 50 posts are required, but please don't go spamming up the forums so you have enough posts to rate people.

Gremlin: No awards.

Your commrads have determined that your karma is more negative than positive. If you click on the [ + ] or [ - ] under the user's name, that's how you can change his or her karma levels.  But be warned, you can only change a specific members karma once every 700+ hours....

You need to be more established on the forums.  I put some post and time limits on to reduce potential abuse.  After you've been around for a while, you'll see "[ + ] [ - ]" under the ratings, which you can click on.
So that means that three people clicked on your [ - ] for whatever reason.

I think it's rather pointless in a forum with content matter such as this one. It's obvious its going to be abused, and frankly it has no purpose in the first place.
Title: Re: New Forum Moderators
Post by: PiCaSSo on February 25, 2007, 05:26:06 PM
The karma meter is a waste of forum space and has already proven itself to be useless.  It's already been clearly abused as the people using it are supposed to click the - if a person's reply is of a negative nature and + if it is of a positive nature.  I had -10 before I got to my 6th reply after it was implemented so it's not hard to figure out the fact that some are clicking - simply because they don't like me.  It's also not hard to figure out who they are either. 

Most of my replies have been of a friendly nature and there haven't been any problems on the forum until today as far as abusive users are concerned.   

Hopefully those guys will be dealt with and jitspoe will remove it as it really serves no productive purpose.

Post by: Eiii on February 25, 2007, 10:58:12 PM
I don't think you should be able to tell who rated you, but it would be really nice to be able to see which posts you were rated on. You know, so that you can tell when people do or don't like how your acting.

Maybe even at the header of each post, a little counter of how many +s and -s that post has gotten.

That would be neat. But I agree on the anonymous rating. That could wreak havoc otherwise.

Unfortunately it doesn't store that informaiton.  It's a pretty simple system.  I would prefer a post-based system as well.

Anonymous votes help people be a little more honest.  I could see the types of people prone to getting negative karma harrasing other users for giving it to them.

The karma system isn't objective at all. It reflects the views of the community. It's a shame people don't like you/how you post, but get used to it. There aren't many people at all with more + than -. :P

I split these posts and merged them with the karma thread, since they really have nothing to do with moderators.

No offense, Picasso, but I wouldn't consider "waste of forum space", and "useless" the kindest way to express those opinions.  Just for the sake of an example, if I said, "The graffiti paint servers are a useless waste of space on the serverlist", you probably wouldn't think too highly of that.
Title: Re: Karma (User Rating) Enabled on Forums
Post by: PiCaSSo on February 27, 2007, 10:34:56 AM
OMG whatever jitspoe...  You asked for our opinion and my response was NOT intended to be "UNKIND" It's a simple fact and no less "kind" than your claiming that avatars are bad.  I can't believe that you can't see the negativity that can stem from your little karma tool especially with all the problems you've had gaining control of this forum.   I can't believe that you can't see how it has clearly already been abused.

What the hell GOOD do you expect to come from something like a karma tool.

Furthermore, you once again forget the fact that the GRaFFiTi servers DO serve a purpose.  They support your freakin game.

I'm sorry you're offended but next time don't ask our phuckin opinion...

Now... there's your rant... I'm done with this poorly ran forum.

Some people are taking this way too seriously how bad could it be? And the game is not just Jitspoe's, its everyone that enjoys playing it, including myself, and hopefully you too. Jitspoe doesnt have to ask anyones permission or opinion for that matter. Its just two numbers next to your name why dont u ignore them? As new as I am to this forum, its obvious a majority of the users here dont mind it, and your making a personal issue because youve ticked some people off. Go ahead and -1 me everyone, all that matters is I know Im not abusing or flaming. PiCaSSo we all use GT and Im sure appreciate it.

Post by: jitspoe on February 27, 2007, 02:05:33 PM
Dude, I never said I didn't value (your) opinions, nor did I say I was offended.  I was just calling you out on your claim that everything you've posted has been kind and friendly in nature.  I simply used the graffiti servers as an example, using the same words you used in a previous post to make my point.  The graffiti paint servers are actually some of the better ones on the list now, as they aren't running ub_cliff 24/7 or jump maps that aren't even made for paintball.

I'm just trying to help you become aware that you often come across with the same kind of negativity as the people you frequently criticize.  I know you probably don't intend it, but it's still there, and it seems whenever I call you out on it, you completely flip out and quit.

*Edit

"but it's still there, and it seems whenever I call you out on it"....Jitspoe? Call out? There are people who need this (cheaters, spoofers, greifers etc etc). He is not one of them, he is only trying to help in his own way. Someone said a time or two that a pm is the most effective means of communicating personal issues. I am actually surprised you felt that needed to be said in public. It only intensified your desired effect. LOL but look who is doing the logical thinking! NUff Said.

Can I watch you two kiss and make out up
