Two new forum features

felix · #1 07-18-2011, 01:40 AM

Hello everyone!

I wanted to let you know that we've got two new features:

1) click 'Add Post To Favorites' in a thread, to add it to your favorites list. (favorites list will be showing in the forum toolbar)

2) thread ratings (thumb up/down) are no longer anonymous - names will be shown now next to them now. This will help preventing abuse.

Have a great day!

The change to the thread rating feature (up/down thumbs) is an excellent idea felix

Why doesnt anybody seem to think anymore?

So from now on, everybody will be taking thumb downs as a PERSONAL thing, as opposed to actual voting about the CONTENT of a post. This is not a good thing.

If memberX, for example, posts bad post in my opinion and I give him thumb down, what do you guys think how he will react to my next post? It doesnt matter anymore if he actually thinks my post was excellent, he will give me thumb down, no matter what... as a revenge.

So fighting and abuse - I predict - will not diminish, but increase. Our community will be DIVIDED into small groups who are suspicious and angry towards eachother. Not a good thing, definitely not a good thing.

Ok, some people seem to dislike the following feature:

I added it because in the past a lot of people complained about massive sudden negative ratings on their posts by anonymous people which appeared like a revenge of some sort.

Let's have a poll on this and decide democratically!

I probably overreacted. Maybe its going to be a good feature after all. At least people might think twice before giving thumb downs/ups.

We still got the anonymous star-rating-system, right?

Very nice additions Felix!!!!

I like the 'thumbs down indentity' thing. Now I know the one who's always giving me kicks, unrelated to the quality of the post itself... hehe.

Cheers,
