It may help if perhaps activities that receive negative points were listed in red and showed a (-) by the number of points deducted.
Reputation, referrals, thread tagging, thanks button are not active. Will we activate them? I would like to turn all of those things on here eventually. referrals should already be on however... cheers, robb |

I don't know if there is just so much new information that I am overlooking it, but I have searched with no luck. I have read that you can give/get points for thanking someone? There is a "Thanks" button? How does this work? Is it right in front of my face somewhere? :icon43:
Does one thank another for providing information? Or for a compliment? Are there guidelines here? If I wish to express appreciation, I realize I can simply just respond to a post and write "Thank you," but, with this new system, there is another way to thank someone that results in points being distributed, no? :dunno: |

That's a really good question, and i have absolutely no idea as to the answer. Shall we do some testing today to figure it out?
cheers, robb I see discussion ender has some negative points, is there some multiplier if it's an ended discussion and an old post? It's just a query not a major concern as it's all in good fun, and you are also trying to not have the system abused. So I guess not knowing how you lost the points is a price to pay :) or :( 06:31 PM cereal2k has lost -40 Discussion Ender points 06:31 PM cereal2k has earned 22970 Thread Necromancer points

Here's My .02 on some of the issues that have been brought up Robb.
I think that Thread Necromancer can be a negative or positive. If someone gives a good answer to a long unanswered question or adds to an existing thread rather than starting a new one when it's not needed, it's a good thing. It's only bad when someone revives a dead thread with an unnecessary inane comment for good reason. Instead of making it automatic, could it possibly be left to staff discretion to issue the negative points where warranted and leave legitimate resurrections alone? We do have an option to bestow or deduct points on a discretionary basis. It may help if perhaps activities that receive negative points were listed in red and showed a (-) by the number of points deducted. Reputation, referrals, thread tagging, thanks button are not active. Will we activate them? Case in point the ton of non closed classifieds. A lot of posts say mods please close, but they are still open. I doubt there will be time to monitor a points system.

People have been posting nonsense posts after a really excellent comment forever. They typically think it's funny or witty or whatever. They'll do it if they get points or not. If it ruffles your feathers and is out of line you can report it and it may get deleted. Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it.
Blatant post whoring can simply be deleted by the staff. There's also the option to issue negative points for abuse of the system. If something sticks in your craw, feel free to click the button and report it and someone will take a look at it. This system is not perfect by far. It is what it is. I think that there will be some good suggestions that may be implemented to improve it. I think there will be some stupid ones that will be ignored and people will get their feelings hurt by it. My suggestion is to do what I'm learning to do in life in general: don't take it too seriously. And yes, you just lost Discussion Ender points, and I took them from you. :11:
