Rating Members (Page 5/12)

I think its a worthy idea to try. If you find that people are abusing the rating system or its not teaching the difficult people how to act, then you can simply revert back to this format.

Quick question... Can people rate you Cliff?
If so mark me down on your behalf for 5*!!!.

I think my views would best be expressed with a couple of lines from the movie "Army of Darkness" with Bruce Campbell:

"Groovy!"


and, for Cliff:

"Hail to the king, baby!"

The only thing I'd like to add is that any user who is banned should have his "rating" retracted from all the other, still current, users. I.E., you gets the bannage, your vote don't count

Cliff,I think it's a great idea but I also think you should have the final say when someone is voted out. This would prevent someone from being banned just for having an unpopular opinion. It would also prevent a clique from banning someone for not agreeing with their group. What does everyone else think?

Sounds like a good idea to me BUT what I'd like to see is a "Smiles Legend" that would indicate to everyone that I am ignoring a certain post from a certain person. Kinda like below...... let's say the BS legend was the "Ignore" Legend & let's say I want to ignore or not respond to your post.... it would look something like this.....

IMHO, This is the method I would prefer to use to show people that I did see the message.... that I disagree with the message .... and that I choose not to enter that flame war.

After a short time maybe people will get the hint and try to behave like their mother's were watching.

Heheheheh.
I like it, Archie!

Maybe we can also use it after posts that include "banner" sigs, or unwarranted flames to the moderator.
(Right, Cliff?)

well, i like the idea, even though some of the flame wars are kinda funny to watch (specifics dont come to mind right now). the thought i had about the whole "who can put in bad ratings and who cant" i thought instead of number of posts, maybe make it that a particular person has to be a memeber for a certain amount of time. that way you dont have some mutant with no life racing up to the 100 or 250 post quota on a new s/n just so they can make their ding on someone they dont like. just a thought. keep up the good work!

I like that idea. There are a number of members who don't post regularly because they're lurking most of the time or because they stay out of the O/T section (which is, as I understand it, the place to get your post count up ). It wouldn't be entirely fair if they were unable to vote. Maybe we should add a "weight" to a vote. Which means anybody can vote, but the longer you are a member, the more weight your vote carries.

I'll probably have to write this voting system from scratch so don't expect it any time soon yet.

Ahh, if that were the only place to find the useless, post-count-increasing, non-Fiero related posts and threads.

Ok, give us the IGNORE symbol in the meantime and we can see how it works.

Don't Ignore me.
