Off Topic / Re: We Disagree, We Dislike, We Hate - We Behave Civilly
« on: April 06, 2012, 02:04:40 PM »I think that something like the karma system has a place on the board. I can definitely understand Ray's desire to have a board that is a positive face of the MSTA to the MC community without having to feel like he has to invest a lot of time and energy on watching the board and modding threads.
Well I disagree (but I won't smite you.) I have never seen a respectable forum apply this sort of mechanism and I know for a fact we have now lost one valuable participant because the system was manipulated beyond it's stated purpose. It's gone beyond an experiment to a bad idea IMO.Eliminate the smite button. The only feedback that can be given is for positive, beneficial posts. This may help to eliminate some of the high school/junior high popularity contest vibe that some are feeling. I would not add this without adding #1 for the reasons I mention above. JP
Well, no sort of tracking of opinions should be necessary. We are (mostly) all adults here. If we can't work out disagreements by civil discussions, then we are missing out on the beauty of debates and discussions. Besides, having a "Like" system just seems so Facebook. I just don't see it's use here.
completely agree pkpk, well said (Debby for you lol) not sure why that changed too lol
i have 0 clue what the ratings accomplishes, makes no sense. Not sure what it was intended to do. I was out of the country for a couple of weeks, came back and the boards blew up in 10 different directions. I doubt anything was accomplished and this rating system is beyond ridiculous.
got that from the other thread. if there are skill improving books, or heck i don't know.
