Gaijin von Snikbah Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 How about an option to have people being able to select an option that merges some of the boards, so that all the popular topics will be more collected? I think that noobs just wants to get to the most popular topics instead of having to choose between 10 different boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calza Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Or you subscribe to the threads and go to them through your cp. I think there should be at least a trial for a General gaming chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 this forum needs a point system badlyA 'point' system? Could you be more specific? Are you referring to Reputation? Why do you think we need it 'badly'? If you do mean rep, we already tried it back when we first moved to these boards and iirc, it didn't go to well.

Gaijin von Snikbah Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 How about a point system that drains your points everyday. So that your popularity is based on daily votes instead of life time votes. You dont have to loose all points each day, and you could have a maximum amount of points, or coolness level. Of course you can only get + points, so it works kinda like Digg in a way.

Shorty Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Erm... popularity? Points? Coolness rating? What the hell....? Personally I don't want to see any of that. This isn't secondary school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't secondary school. I was just suggesting a rep system that actually works. Nobody can abuse the system either. Its genius. Kids everywhere will love it! For instance it would allow everyone to see how much we love or dont care about someone. Theres no hate in that. No negative feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 We have it on HCRealms, and its great. Only donors can negative rep someone, but hey if this forum tried it and didnt work what ya gonna do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellyn Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 You just know that if it happens you'll get new members making threads or posting in existing ones saying 'LOLZ GIV ME POSTIV REPXORZ!'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Peeps Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 The problem with rep points is that after a while you start getting elitism. Members with the highest rep will be considered more important or whatever, other members may be put off from joining because they feel they will go unnoticed because of their rep. In general I think rep points are a bad idea, there really is no reason to have them except if you want to feel superior to everyone else, and I don't really see how that is a good thing. Fair enough if it works in some places but it was tried here and it really didn't work at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason we removed rep points before is because people were giving too much positive feedback. Its not because the boards turned into a bitchfest.

motion Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I'm assuming that because Shorty and Girl's Name both have large avatars, the rest of us can have large avatars right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Rule number 1: Never Assume. Admin's get larger avatars because they're admins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motion Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 And that's supposed to be fair/any way to run a message board? Complete bollocks if that is the case. Rules are there to be adhered to, not to be broken by the very people that thought them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Shouldn't those who give up so much of their time to run the boards be honoured for what they do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motion Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 It's an honour to break ones own rules and have something that no other "mere poster" can have? No ones forcing them to run a board, and I'm not trying to be harsh, it just seems very unprofessional. Rules are there for a reason, when the ones who write them out break them themsevelves something is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conzer16 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I semi-agree with motion here. On one hand you don't want elitism creeping into the boards, and on the other you are creating that elitism by using something which every other FM can't have. Admins are admins - we accept they have power over us. But if you don't want any form of elitism don't implement it yourselves. Only my 2 cents worth...
