RE: Board Version
Old thread... if it wasn't updated, maybe you should have posted then and not now. :P Quite a lot of people call WDZ lazy, he knows we're only messing about... besides, he IS lazy! :P Anyway, I don't think Guido was doing much harm. And he probabl...		billywoods1Forum & Website01-11-2004 at 10:40 AM
RE:
I see... Well, I thought the post idea was better, because that way there was a chance to vote very badly for a [b]lot[/b] of unhelpful/abusive posts and very well for a lot of helpful etc. posts. However, if you voted for a user, I agree, you should...		billywoods1Forum & Website01-11-2004 at 10:35 AM
RE: Posts per day
No, it's because you have to register to post, and most people only want support and only post once. Then eventually the threads get pruned and sent to T&T and deleted and... pluh.		billywoods1Forum & Website01-10-2004 at 11:16 PM
RE:
Well yes, but I mean people can complain by saying 'spammer' or 'links to trojans' or something, not many people are gonna leave a comment saying 'I like this post'. :P Comments should be optional really, I'm happy to add one if necessary but ...		billywoods1Forum & Website01-10-2004 at 10:38 PM
RE:
Guido: good idea, but I think if this were to be implemented, no one would leave positive comments, so there should be an OPTION to leave a comment. Apart from that, I see no flaw in this, except maybe server space. :P		billywoods1Forum & Website01-10-2004 at 10:27 PM
RE:
My thoughts on CookieRevised's points: Why...? There are 20 people, and granted they post a lot, but we have thousands of members. If two are away, it doesn't mean there will be 90% of the normal number of posts. Mostly I don't post because one o...		billywoods1Forum & Website01-10-2004 at 06:24 PM
RE:
:lol: It does put a lot of stress on those 20 though, bach_m. Especially during holidays and stuff.		billywoods1Forum & Website01-08-2004 at 09:58 PM
RE:
Good idea. :) Edit: grr, you type too fast, WDZ. :P		billywoods1Forum & Website01-08-2004 at 08:26 PM
RE:
Then don't add all regulars to it, add regular respected members. :P		billywoods1Forum & Website01-08-2004 at 08:22 PM
RE:
"Respected Members"? Edit: wow, we've managed to stray from the topic so much, I can't even remember what this reputation system's for. :D		billywoods1Forum & Website01-08-2004 at 08:17 PM
RE:
I know, the idea was that you add the respected members. :P Anyway, think about this, to give everyone a reputation we'd need a lot more than about 20-25 people. We'd need about 50, maybe more.		billywoods1Forum & Website01-08-2004 at 08:12 PM
RE:
No, but you know what I mean. We have loads of regular members. Plus, it's just the value of the title - if loads of people had it it would become worthless.		billywoods1Forum & Website01-08-2004 at 08:09 PM
RE:
Hmm, I really don't think it should be limited to elites and up. If we add the 100-200 people who are regularly here to the elites list it'll become a bit worthless. How about a 'respected members' group or something? It's just to keep 'elite m...		billywoods1Forum & Website01-08-2004 at 08:04 PM
RE: What is the Plus! logo
I think if you've ever used Messenger you'll have seen the butterfly. :P		billywoods1WLM Plus! General01-07-2004 at 05:15 PM
RE:
Exactly, but the problem with this system is that the elite title will just be completely useless if everyone who's a regular member joins it, and if we make a new group, how do we decide what other privileges these have?		billywoods1Forum & Website01-07-2004 at 05:09 PM
RE:
If they use common sense and they're right, they deserve a good reputation. By using common sense, I mean the people who vote down the spammers and vote up those who give good answers. Not much more to it than that. If you're right about stuff, why...		billywoods1Forum & Website01-06-2004 at 10:12 PM
RE:
I'll take your points in order... Sounds like a ban. :P Obviously there should be limits, otherwise the fixed ranks of 100 and so on are useless. This is just a system to get helpful people to have more effect on the forums than others.		billywoods1Forum & Website01-06-2004 at 09:58 PM
RE:
We really shouldn't get rid of the post counts. :P They do give a small indication as to who's been around the most. You all say yourselves that spammers get punished. Chrono, as for the 'less strict with spam' comment, I just meant don't perman...		billywoods1Forum & Website01-06-2004 at 09:19 PM
RE: What is the Plus! logo
I think there's some copyright rule that if you change a certain percentage of an image it belongs to you, or something. :s Or maybe it was changed because they were threatening legal action? Who knows. :P		billywoods1WLM Plus! General01-06-2004 at 09:16 PM
RE:
/me applies the proverbial trout to D:Frag :P The post counts are necessary, and besides, we're a msgplus support forum, why would you bother just regulating spammers in non-msgplus forums?		billywoods1Forum & Website01-06-2004 at 07:09 PM
RE:
Yeah, it'd be quite difficult though... I don't mind doing all the maths and stuff, my brain thinks that way. ;) But ultimately it's WDZ who has to code it, and this server that has to hold it all. Not really up to me or anyone else.		billywoods1Forum & Website01-06-2004 at 06:52 PM
RE:
Yeah, ok, sure. I just didn't want to suggest anything that would never be added anyway. :P Still, I'll explain it. :) My original idea involved a lot of complicated maths that I've barely got my head round myself, but basically it was cumulative ...		billywoods1Forum & Website01-06-2004 at 06:47 PM
RE:
Jeronimo, similar to my idea. Anyway, having spoken with fluffy_lobster, it seems server load would be a large factor in this, and I have refined my idea a bit. As I said, if any mod/admin wants to hear it, I'd be happy to post it... but while no on...		billywoods1Forum & Website01-06-2004 at 06:27 PM
RE:
Hmm... again, I was a bit caught by your 'blah blah', so I haven't read much else. :P Firstly (setting aside the fact that you ALWAYS misspell my name :P), I don't see why threads need to be pruned and locked... one or the other maybe, but not b...		billywoods1Forum & Website01-06-2004 at 06:05 PM
RE:
It would also involve constantly checking for repeated threads and so on... :s It'd never stop.		billywoods1Forum & Website01-05-2004 at 07:55 PM
