The Karma System - trial phase

Meh, I was starting to like the Karma system.

Oh I liked it too. I hope this "Thank you" system can be just as good.

***If it were up to me I would have a poll, and after a couple weeks check the results. A simple Yes or No poll to see who wants the karma system perhaps?***

Okay somebody call RBS back!

Hmm... good point on this community not ready for a rating system... Maybe because we get childish people around?

I can do that. Do you guys want a poll? (Probably the answer is NO )

It's really not a matter of who wants it or not, its a matter of it's effectiveness, and correct utilization. A thank you system would be a far better solution, because of its lack abusive potential.

I like the thank you system. Maybe we should make a poll about it?

That is a possibility..Maybe see what Julio thanks about it?

I like the thank you system, would be worth trying, that's 3 peopls now all we need is 300 more, lol

I think a thank you system sounds good. As twite said, lack of abusive potential.

I see no need for a poll. There seems to be plenty of support for it already...

EDIT: ...and besides, according to Julio's post, It's soon to be in it's testing phase

3? I count 7 so far (well, technically 6 since KittyCat posted after you )

:wave:

Looks alright...

I'd like to see this Thank You system first hand. Let's just go ahead and do it.

That sounds and looks like a pretty good idea.

Regards Howard

I second that too =)

cheers,

Why restrict the buttons only to the original poster? Threads are (hopefully) read by many people after the starter has had her problem solved and these later readers may want to show their appreciation too.

Not to mention that the original thread author may be a braindead ***** who refuses to take good advice while a bright person (who remembered to use the search feature) coming along later on may find something very useful.

lol not many morons make it to this site bud. Only found maybe 2 out of about 150 post this past 2 weeks. And I think it would be good to restrict it to the poster of the thread, although it may be useful to others reading it, this way I think people will have a more accurate understanding of how much help a person is actually giving. In your situation. You could have one thread posted by one person, 50 people give him thank you votes for it, then you have another guy who's actually solved 50 different problems and got one vote each. yeah so, you get it...if you're not one of those morons, lol j/k

Good idea

I second Nodsu.

And what's wrong with 50 TYs, if 50 people feel the need to express their appreciation (even for one post) ?

there is nothing wrong with thank you's i think you're missing the point. the point of the whole karma system was so that people would know who was reliable or not, What I'm saying is that a person with 50 thank yous for 50 post, would sure be more reliable than a person that racked up the same ammount or more than just one or two post. Not sure how you guys missed that point before.
