Title: New Feature Added! [5/5/2012] Post by: Turboweasle on May 05, 2012, 12:33:22 am Tonight the karma system has been implemented! It's a little later than I projected, but it's finally here.
A brief rundown on what it is/how to use it: The karma system is essentially a poll for each individual post. You'll see Now, I know there was some concern about how this feature could be abused. Unfortunately there are no notable preventative measures to ensure that it is not abused, but know that I will be monitoring this closely. I will know foul play when I see it. Additionally, this system is not an "I agree -- have karma" or "I disagree -- you lose karma" system. Its use is meant for giving karma to posts that contribute in some way to the topic the post is in. While I know some people will use it as if it is an agree/disagree system, know that I will work to balance that out as best I can. On that note, know that this is essentially a trial period. If we prove that we can't handle this in a mature way, then it will go away. Now, a few things that need to be discussed: - How long should the period between voting be? (Currently at 10 minutes) - How many posts should be required of a user before they can vote? (Currently at 100 posts) - Should karma be displayed as a total only or separately as a ratio of good karma to bad karma? (Currently displayed only as a total) - What should the terms be for good/bad karma? (Currently "applaud"/"smite", respectively) Any other questions, concerns, or comments are appreciated, as always. Good luck and have fun, Turboweasle Title: Re: New Feature Added! [5/5/2012] Post by: the KR3AT3R on May 05, 2012, 12:37:49 am I would say shprten the waiting period, since some topics get hot pretty fast and posts can stafrt flying in by multiple people. Maybe 2 minutes?
Good going, BTW. I also think 100 posts is decent. Title: Re: New Feature Added! [5/5/2012] Post by: the KR3AT3R on May 05, 2012, 12:39:17 am Oh, and I was the first to "applaud" you. W000OO00O0T! This is history! :P

Maybe 2 minutes? Good going, BTW. I also think 100 posts is decent. Yeah, shortening the length is probably going to happen. I just put it that way to start considering the... uh... current state of affairs in the ASE. ;D Oh, and I was the first to "applaud" you. W000OO00O0T! This is history! :P :-* Title: Re: New Feature Added! [5/5/2012] Post by: guest25 on May 05, 2012, 01:18:37 am Good and bad karma should be as a ratio.

Thank you! Title: Re: New Feature Added! [5/5/2012] Post by: June on May 05, 2012, 09:39:07 am How long should the period between voting be? (Currently at 10 minutes) Less than 10 minutes, I agree. Quote How many posts should be required of a user before they can vote? (Currently at 100 posts) Yes, I think this is good. Let them work for privileges. ;) Quote Should karma be displayed as a total only or separately as a ratio of good karma to bad karma? (Currently displayed only as a total) I like the idea of a ratio. Quote What should the terms be for good/bad karma? (Currently "applaud"/"smite", respectively) I love the word smite...cracks me up. I can't really think of another word besides applaud... I guess it works. Title: Re: New Feature Added! [5/5/2012] Post by: Turboweasle on May 05, 2012, 10:52:43 am I won't make any changes until tonight so that everyone has a fair chance of seeing this, but so far I'll be shortening the wait time and setting the karma display to a ratio. Thanks for the suggestions.
Title: Re: New Feature Added! [5/5/2012] Post by: June on May 05, 2012, 11:08:42 am I may have missed this, but... do people know who has applauded or smitten them?
Title: Re: New Feature Added! [5/5/2012] Post by: Turboweasle on May 05, 2012, 01:36:52 pm No, it's anonymous.
Title: Re: New Feature Added! [5/5/2012] Post by: June on May 05, 2012, 02:10:34 pm Ok. Haha. Thanks for letting me know. ;)
Title: Re: New Feature Added! [5/5/2012] Post by: guest25 on May 05, 2012, 04:35:08 pm if it's anonymous, how are you "monitoring this closely?"
Title: Re: New Feature Added! [5/5/2012] Post by: Turboweasle on May 05, 2012, 05:36:10 pm I'm not going to go into detail. I will say that I see more than the rest of you.

Nice. O0 Title: Re: New Feature Added! [5/5/2012] Post by: Termin8or on May 07, 2012, 11:29:23 am word O0

Title: Re: New Feature Added! [5/5/2012] Post by: Turboweasle on May 07, 2012, 09:35:20 pm Why thank you.
There was no way to actually disable negative karma, but I just filled in the name for negative karma with an empty string and now no one can click it. :D Title: Re: New Feature Added! [5/5/2012] Post by: Joker on May 08, 2012, 03:16:34 am I applaud Turbo all the time because I got a little brown on my nose. ^-^

Title: Re: New Feature Added! [5/5/2012] Post by: JabbaScrub on May 15, 2012, 07:23:35 am Rofl, it's not me. I don't think anonymously giving a troll alt karma would make the girl in the pictures want to do the sex with me. :P
Title: Re: New Feature Added! [5/5/2012] Post by: Mum on May 15, 2012, 11:38:57 am Can you please explain to me how this works? Are you only suppose to give karma if you are the next one to comment? I've been giving karma if I like what someone says, not if I follow them ???
Title: Re: New Feature Added! [5/5/2012] Post by: Turboweasle on May 15, 2012, 12:34:38 pm You're using it exactly right, Mum.
Title: Re: New Feature Added! [5/5/2012] Post by: jd111 on May 15, 2012, 04:24:34 pm I want some Krama. :-[

Title: Re: New Feature Added! [5/5/2012] Post by: Turboweasle on May 17, 2012, 06:23:34 pm Unfortunately it isn't for anything, except I guess as a measure of how much your peers like you.
