Ok flab i know you got alot on your plate, but a topic resently reminded me of a request. A rep system, there is one on this forum http://www.uogamers.com/forum/index.php and it works out well. Just something to consider while your working on the current problems and such.

I have absolutely no idea what that is... mind explaining a bit?

Toumaz · « **Reply #2 on:** September 02, 2006, 02:45:31 pm »

Like the old karma system?

FliesLikeABrick · « **Reply #3 on:** September 02, 2006, 02:47:48 pm »

I have enabled karma

Toumaz · « **Reply #4 on:** September 02, 2006, 02:47:59 pm »

YOU'VE ADDED KARMA ALREADY?!

Chakra · « **Reply #5 on:** September 02, 2006, 02:51:20 pm »

Could do with some graphics. Or shall we just see how it goes for now...

FliesLikeABrick · « **Reply #6 on:** September 02, 2006, 02:54:34 pm »

calm down guys, I'm still working on it. You need to have 25 posts to use karma, and you can't mod someone +1 or -1 within 3 hours

Meep. · « **Reply #7 on:** September 02, 2006, 02:57:21 pm »

Well, good luck with this all.

Karma can be scary.

Rai-Dei · « **Reply #9 on:** September 02, 2006, 03:09:24 pm »

Hmm to make it nice 7 is a good number ;P

Twistkill · « **Reply #10 on:** September 02, 2006, 03:18:06 pm »

Well this is nice. We can see who's respectful or who's being annoying.

... although some people might + or -rep for no reason.

VijchtiDoodah · « **Reply #11 on:** September 02, 2006, 03:45:31 pm »

If this works out, it might be nice to add a list to the statistics page of the people with the highest karma. Although, at the moment it just seems like one big popularity contest.

If the karma system gets abused, I'll turn it off. It should not be a popularity contest. Karma should be used to indicate who has insight and knowledge about Soldat and all of the various parts of the community.

Don't complain to me if you think it is getting abused or turning into a popularity contest, I'll see it on my own. I don't want a PM every time you get voted negative or think it is being abused. I'm increasing it to 24 hours for a repeat.

Plonkoon · « **Reply #16 on:** September 02, 2006, 04:10:52 pm »

on the member list it would be great if we could sort it by karma.

FliesLikeABrick · « **Reply #17 on:** September 02, 2006, 04:22:29 pm »

No, this isn't meant to be a contest. This is meant to be simply an indicator of how much people think other people know about what is going on, how to mod something, how to map, how to run servers, etc etc. This is for your use so you know whose opinion to trust, not so you have a bigger e-penis.

Thank you, and I do hope you will stop people from abusing the system, ie. - repping someone for no reason at all, or vice-versa.

VijchtiDoodah · « **Reply #24 on:** September 02, 2006, 06:58:12 pm »

Perhaps you should contribute a little.

On another note, I'd really like to see that 'smite' button go away. I'm pretty sure the idea was to measure how much you've helped out, not how much you haven't. So if people don't think you've contributed anything, they simply won't give you any karma.

Rambo_6 · « **Reply #25 on:** September 02, 2006, 07:02:16 pm »

I think the karma is more of a "is this person cool or not?" kind of thing.

If we took away the smite button, it'd become just like the THANKS! system on facepunch. In my opinion, the thanks thing sucks. Having a negative side to the whole thing helps distinguish who truly doesn't do much other than troll, etc.

Although i think the names should be set to [WIN] and [FAIL].

But that's the problem, people will -rep someone simply if they don't like their signature or something. $:-\$ Mine went from 0 to +1, then to -1, now it's at 0 again.

We already know who trolls. Besides, they shouldn't lose karma just because they don't contribute -- some people just don't know enough about the game or lurk on the forums enough to help people out before someone else gets there. And you know this'll be abused the instant someone asks a stupid question or suggests that Michal puts vehicles in the game (if it isn't abused anyway).

Still, if the Smite button is left in, we could at least take away people's anonymity by having a list at the bottom of each post telling who Smote/Applauded it -- that would make people accountable for what they do and most likely lessen the amount of abuse.

Keron Cyst · « **Reply #31 on:** September 02, 2006, 09:50:28 pm »

... and/or make it so you can only applaud/smite a post once, so it's more like rating that particular post. That way you can tell if someone's bashing someone by checking the log Vij. suggests, and he could be straightened out pretty quickly.

Be warned that the karma system will bring some spammy threads for those who are new to such a system. Most likely they'll instantly be demoted for their innocence.

I've seen it happen at another board I regularly attend, so a log would definitely be a must-have on such a big forum as this, if it's codable.

Graham · « **Reply #32 on:** September 02, 2006, 10:22:05 pm »

The system works well on the forum i posted, if you want flab in your spare time make an account and pm a mod with some questions about it. Yeah I really do think it will work well long as people want good karma they will try to be helpful and not spam.

FliesLikeABrick · « **Reply #33 on:** September 02, 2006, 11:05:07 pm »

Karma will greatly improve the quality of this forum once the shine wears off. Anyone who refers to karma as a popularity contest should be modded down, because they obviously don't care or don't understand and aren't trying to. I've specifically said multiple times that this isn't a popularity contest, and the last thing we need are people trying to sabotage it.

kingkitty · « **Reply #34 on:** September 02, 2006, 11:57:39 pm »

You know, to destroy karma abusing entirely, have the person only be able to + or - one person per 24 hours. It works well on other forums.

Because this is a soldat forum, the karma systen will always gonna be a popularity contest no matter how many times we implement this function in.

I honestly don't know what you're talking about Spyder. The forums are more mature than ever, without the Bash Pit.

No, seriously; people will get bored of whoring karma after a few days I recon.

I agree with you on this one, but i guess we'll have to see what happens.

I have a question though, i'm not quite sure what is ment about the 24 hour time period. Is there a limit to how many people you can do in 24 hours? Or is it somthing else. Thanks much

after glancing at your recent posts, 95% of them are spammish and useless. That is why people "hate" you. This is the karma system doing exactly what it is meant to do. If you stop posting garbage on the forums, you'll see your karma maybe become positive some day.

The system works perfectly, you're a posterboy for it. Even if you never become positive, you can take pride in the fact that you're a perfect illustration of how this is all supposed to work...

... just don't post about it, please.

No I mean, you will only be able to smite or applaud one person, and then you can't smite or applaud anyone else until the next day.

Having only one chance per day.

lol, I warned ya

Complaint-threads about karma will ALWAYS pop up on larger forums it is implemented in. I think ignoring 'em would probably be the best thing to do.

So there's no way you can implement some kind of personal log, or do you actually hold faith in that the community's maturity will eventually dominate?
