Post Ratings

[GrandOldTeam]

As discussed here, we've today started trialling a new post rate system.

Previously members could 'Like' a post. Now, they can 'Like' or 'Dislike' ('KOF') a post. Those who have been posting for a while will remember it being similar to the rep system, but without the ability to comment.

The developers reckon it;

• Increases daily posts.
• Improves signal to noise ratio; less short/unnecessary posts
• Improves quality of posts (posters want to avoid negative ratings)
• Makes lurkers useful for something and gives them a means of interaction

And, it can help self moderate - there's a setting that allows 'x' amount of dislikes to place a post in a moderation queue.

We'll be tweaking the system over the next week or two to see if it can work. Be mindful that if we notice people taking the piss with it (targeting members etc) then we'll revoke access and it'll be a mark in the against category for the feature...

I would just like to take a moment to congratulate @davek on passing a thousand thumbs down.
Kudos to a master of his art.

That would've been too normal.

I think the way things are going, it won't be too long before he hits -2000.

Could you find a special gif, to commemorate the occasion ?

@davek is the part deep down in us that just knows. We try to brush it off as anxiety but really we know it's inevitability. The main man davek is our instinct. Fight him at your peril.

Great film that. Envisaged myself as Capt. Willard though with Koeman as Kurtz.

Koeman: "you're just an errand boy"

Me: "but ok...here's yer message.."

Something I've noticed: not all 'likes' come up on the notifications. Just posted something, it's got 2 likes, but only got a notification for one of them. How does that work?

I'm not bothered about the lack of notification, just thought it might be a bug.
