editor Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 I would prefer to just click and never see that thread again, but if I can just bypass by just clicking it and disappear for that session, that would work too. I'm not sure I'm smart enough to figure out how to do that, but I'll give it a shot. Oh yeah, put the "-" back on? Please? Pretty please? It's coming. New and improved. Now everyone will be able to see WHO modded you into oblivion. I suspect a little accountability will go a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTiger Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Those black quotes seem a bit...blinding.Will putting the "-" back on let you see who did it to you BEFORE it was removed? Admittedly, some (okay, more than some) of my posts sucked, but half of the minuses just seemed to be on any post I made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I'm not sure I'm smart enough to figure out how to do that, but I'll give it a shot. If it's done, great. If not, it's not going to ruin my world. It's coming. New and improved. Now everyone will be able to see WHO modded you into oblivion. I suspect a little accountability will go a long way. That's the reason why I want the topics to disappear. There are a few that I wish would go away and never see again. including some of mine.

I suspect a little accountability will go a long way.Eh... maybe. I think you should just do away with the rating system altogether. Some people around here are already sensitive enough as is. Or, put a limiter on the number of positive and negatives each person can give another person with either a time limit or some other governor. It people couldn't give or take points at will, that would probably be the best way to eliminate what IronTiger's referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want my ideas to be associated with the people that I think +1 me sometimes. And I don't care who is giving me -1. As for a limiter, it makes sense for -1, but sometimes I just like to spread the love, and a +1 limiter would prevent that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highway6 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I think anonymous is the way to go too...but as a compromise... is something like this possible:On each profile you haveRatingNumber of unique members who have rated youNumber of unique members who you have rated.Least this way, those that have really poor ratings will see that No, it isnt in fact just 1-2 people that hate your posts.... it's lots of people.and those with high number of members rated cant be accused of only boosting others.Maybe those won't work.. but it seems there should be a way of grading a member on their rating ability and the grade the quality of their rating without listing everyone who's voted for everyone.I like the limiter idea... and I think having the limiter would justify being able to try the negative button out again.

Highway6 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I just gave lockmat a +1 for banana.... love that guy too... but then I was instantly blinded by the neon sea puke green....... I know you intend to change that... but figured I would issue a formal complaint on behalf of those that value our retinas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to spoil the surprise, but you can only keep this level of genius under wraps for so long till it explodes into world consciousness like Fat Man and Little Boy.

editor Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 Those black quotes seem a bit...blinding. They'll likely change in time. Will putting the "-" back on let you see who did it to you BEFORE it was removed? Admittedly, some (okay, more than some) of my posts sucked, but half of the minuses just seemed to be on any post I made. I don't know. I don't think so. I don't believe the system tracked who ranked whom before. Or if it did, I don't know about it. We'll see what happens. Site loads much faster now. Used to take forever. Interesting, since the new system is moving the same amount of data (and possibly a little more) than the previous version. I think the simplified layout helps older browsers. Eh... maybe. I think you should just do away with the rating system altogether. Some people around here are already sensitive enough as is. This is also a possibility, but I like being able to do positive ratings. Sometimes I want to show that I agree with or appreciate something someone wrote, but I'm too lazy to write a full reply, so the + is useful for that. It's also a good substitute for the "me too!" posts that can clog internet fora. Or, put a limiter on the number of positive and negatives each person can give another person with either a time limit or some other governor. It people couldn't give or take points at will, that would probably be the best way to eliminate what IronTiger's referring to. There might be a way to do this. I'll look into it. I'd rather just keep it anonymous. Not going to happen. People here have already demonstrated that they can't behave themselves if these things are anonymous. In short... What about adding a dancing banana icon? That guy cracks me up. Poor guy's been dancing for almost a decade now. I think it's time to give him a rest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym8D0EELSZ4&feature=player_embedded Oh yeah! How about a "new posts" button for the mobile version?
