Are you guys trying to find an ambigous way of becoming a moderator or something? Please lets not turn this site into Bluetraxx. I hate with a pashion the way Bluetraxx is ran and I think this site moderates itself with members like Holyman and NYUK and suc, I just would hate to see this # of post ranking turn into "Who wants to be a Moderator".

 

my schillings.....

if you want to be a mod then pm lee, this post is about what rankings you want to see under your name. so if you dont want to see advanced under your name and think you have a better ranking system then lets see it. if lee likes it he can change it. ;)

My whole point was not that any of us are better than the others. My point was there seems to be a rating system in place that doesn't mean a single thing. I believe in all or none, pass or fail. So either set up a rating system that shows the "dedication" of certain members or eliminate the rating system all together. I especially don't want people posting a million worthless posts just to get a rating. So if there could be a vote box under each posting, others could vote 'em in. Otherwise scrap the whole rating system.

I get it. Kind of like this.

PRO:You have a box. Simple. Right below the post that is either a rating from 1-10 whatever. Then next to the persons name maybe the average of the score. It may/may not be helpful, I have no idea. If we do it and it sux balls, then scrap it. No harm done.

CON:But what about those that will vote negative just because they have a problem with a member? We don't want to get into a pissing match with each other over "you gave me a bad rating" etc etc. What about those that mostly reply, with a me too, or otherwise verifying what was posted. There is no harm in that. It merely reinforces the point that was made. How would you rate that?

Even simpler. Just a check box with no rating for 1-10. If you think the person gives a good posting, you can click the box and it anonimously {sp} adds a number to his/her rating. So if you see a person with 200 postings and a 2 rating, you know that he/she isn't contributing much or perhaps isn't a reliable as a person with 200 postings and a rating of 30. It would be alot like feedback on ebay. Mostly useless unless you really want to rely on that persons postings. I think the rating should be based on topic as well. So a person that has sold things may have a high rating if the transactions have been good but a lower rating on riding places if they never ride or in the roosting room if they never complain. The rating should only come up per topic. SO when you're logged in to "General" your ratings you've rcvd in the General topic heading would only be shown.

As you could imagine, a person could get even a much higher rating than even their posting amounts if they posted an especially informative or appreciated posting and dozens of people voted that they liked that posting. In reality a person with 20 feedbacks could have a rating of 200. It just would show the value of that persons contribution under that topic.
