Make Reputation Useful

[houckeah]

Ideas such as this have been brought up before. However, I think in light of this Olives In Cans moron, it might be a good idea to revisit it. I believe that within a controlled system Reputation could be used to temporarily suspend people from posting. I don't think so much it should ban them, however it should suspend their ability to post until a moderator has time to review their account. It should be based on large amounts of negative Reputation received over a small period of time.

Obviously it won't happen, so no need for you to shoot it down with that reason, I know development of the game and the forums is long over with.

What do you think?

[Wizzy`]

I think it would be abused terribly. Ever notice how new people who make Hello threads pretty much always have red bars? And for what reason? Because people on here think they are different people..It's a flawed system with and without the suspending..should just disable it.

[Jeffery]

Abuse would run rampant. It would quickly turn into something like the Neg Bombers, where a small crew of retards band together to do it.

[Dark7]

how would it be possible to make immaginary points useful?

[houckeah]

I think a system could be implemented wherein it would not be abused terribly. I understand the inherent abuse in the idea though, so maybe a system not based on the Reputation system would be ideal. Maybe something as simple as someone making 60 posts in 2 hours would result in their temporary suspension. Maybe a conjunction of numerous posts and reputation could result in suspension. I think, however, that a system that would allow users some say while moderators aren't around would be good. More or less, a system meant to give users temporary power if they convene in numbers. However, I can see how truly it would be abused eventually.

The points are not imaginary, they are very real. Granted they do not mean anything currently, however that does not make them imaginary.

[Wizzy`]

Or they could just make it so that you need 50+ posts to post outside of newbie board.

[Jeffery]

I really don;t see the problem with just waiting for a mod to clean it up.

There is never a really great amount of time that goes by without a mod being around. And if there is, there are plenty of people with mods emails/IMs/phone numbers.....

I have yet to see a time when there has been a NEED to immediately ban/suspend a user.

But imagine if it was today! Everybody would remember!

Until tomorrow. Then forget. Just like last time.

I like this idea. This should be implemented.

Until this morning, correct?

[Hatchet Klown]

They probably picked the best time to post for a mod to not be on... that early morning gap for PST leaves the vast majority of us offline. However at that same point hardly any users are online to be affected.

First we did when we logged in was cleaned it up, most users comming in now will probably be thinking 'What the F**K are these people talking about?"

What harm has been caused? There is zero spam left. The very short time it took a mod to see it, clean up, and get rid of the guy was hardly something that hurt anyone.

In fact, this morning is exactly an example of why this method is NOT needed.

Granted, there is only a short time period when mods are offline. However, I like the idea that newbies need 50 posts in the newbie forum before they are allowed to post elsewhere.

And your solution of having people constantly temp-banned would be a worse annoyance.

Don;t want to see the spam for the couple of seconds it's here? Don;t look.

[Hatchet Klown]

You'd just get people spamming to 50 posts in the newbie board. Wouldn't solve anything, just delay their spam by 25 minutes (30 seconds required between posts).

[houckeah]

No, Jeffery. Very clearly I was looking for a solution. I did see the abuse potential of my idea. I wanted to put it on the table to see other ideas, not to have you continually ignore what I am saying.

This is where we are now, Jeffery: I like the idea of having requiring 50 posts in the newbie section before being allowed to post elsewhere.

You'd just get people spamming to 50 posts in the newbie board. Wouldn't solve anything, just delay their spam by 25 minutes (30 seconds required between posts).

So newbies can only post once every 10 minutes instead of once every 1 minute.

[Hatchet Klown]

So they start planning ahead of time and just slowly spam up the newbie board with bullshit.

Doesn't solve anything.

[Jeffery]

There is no problem with the way things are now.

So there is no need to have a solution.

"If it is not broken, don't try and fix it."

[Hatchet Klown]

Jeff can we go back to arguing with eachother over everything?

This agreeing with you thing is kind of creeping me out.

[gryph89]

Honestly, I don't think there is a reputation mod for vB to allow these things. I'll check now though.

[Duraza]

This is like saying

"Hey, let's make Gryph useful"

Aint gonna happen.

Just checked, nothing that allows this.

[Jeffery]

There are a couple ways to modify rep completely to do this... But it also involves only using the rep system as a user=moderation system. And would then require MORE time and effort by mods to police.....

Example: Remove current reps. Set rep power basically to "1" for everyone. Maybe "10' for in-game mods. Set usergroup to be based on rep. Normal rep = no effect. -10 or below rep = a 'banned user" status that disallows posting. Mods would then have to judge and clean up the situation. And it wouldn;t stop anyone really. And it would be abused.

[Wizzy`]

i don't think a lot of people would waste hours trying to get to 50 posts just to be able to spam for 15 minutes.

[houckeah]

Doesn't solve anything.
Having them only be allowed to post in the Newbie forum until they reach 50 posts and only allowing them to post 1 post per 10 minutes would certainly solve the problem. Nobody is going to plan ahead and waste that much time to spam and troll. It would also solve the advertising bot problems. More over, even if you argue it does not solve the problem completely, it certainly helps deter it.

You've said countless times in this thread your opinion of it not being flawed. I disagree and that is what this thread is about. We've a difference of opinion and your opinion has been expressed. Saying it countless more times will not help.

Forcing people to stay in the newbie board for any amount of time wouldn't really solve anything.... All it would do is localize where most of the spam/trolling would take place. I don't know about you or anyone else for that matter, but a lot of the time I don't really care what board a thread is in, if the thread has an appealing enough name I'll usually take a look no matter what...

You find many appealing threads in the Newbie forum? Moreover, you could just limit new users to posting 1 time every 10 minutes and not restrict their other abilities.

[Jeffery]

Or, you could simply close the forums entirely, ceasing any spam activity 100%.

Or, you could just live with there not being a problem to begin with.

Did you even read what I posted? Its not weather or not I often find threads in that particular forum interesting, its that I don't pay attention to what forum its in at all... If I see a title for a thread that appeals/interests me what I usually do is move my mouse over it and read the first couple lines, if it sounds interesting I'll read the rest. I hardly ever look to see what forum a thread has been made in... So all a spammer would really have to do, to get me to look at their spam would be come up with an interesting title and chances are I'd go to that thread...

Nonono, mantis. You have it all wrong! Brownguy doesn't rep boost! He just gets Deepsea to pos him all the time. There's a difference. Duh.

[mantis33]

Oh... my bad.

So seriously, who's Olive? :p

[Jeffery]

His name is olive in a can, and he is an annoying Legender, well known for such behavior there.

Lol, Brownguy negged me for this on his Pizza account.

[Lieutenant]

BrownGuy Rep boosts? i didn't know you could already get much more lame. I thought only boosting occured at the game. :confused:

[mantis33]

Mitosis used to do it until I caught him. I think a lot of people know Brownguy rep boosts, but no one cares enough to do anything about it. Let him pretend he is popular. I also find it funny how he claims he has never asked anyone to be his friend and that all his friends asked him. I know that's bull cuz after I declined his friend request, he started being all bitchy towards me. ^_^

[Sith Happens]

I remember Mitosis, and why would you limit posting down to 1 per 10 minutes for the first 50. The same idiotic posts will still happen, just with more time in between. Not only that but we would have far fewer new members, and added on top of the already dwindling active forum members that's a dumb idea.

[NejixKun]

Funny how you're telling the new people to this forum to post in the board where the most spamming/trolling occurs. Then, they cant post in the forums which might actually help them be liked. So basically, Newbie Board so they learn how to troll, then when they finally get to leave, they either never make it, or post idiotic things in other boards just like they're used to in the newbie board.

Funniest thing i've heard all day.

+Rep for making my day.

[NejixKun]

Yes, I did read what you posted and then I asked a question. I'll ask it again. Do you actually find any threads in the Newbie forum interesting? (I'll give you a hint, the answer is Yes or No.) You realize that the spamming we are talking about is generally not anything to do with making threads, correct? Do you actually browse through the Newbie forum at all? (Because if you don't then you wouldn't be able to see the thread titles, therein answering my question.)


So, back to the topic. I'll rephrase it because maybe I am alone here. Do you believe there is a problem on these forums with spam? I do. Do you believe it can be fixed? I don't but I feel attempts could be made in that general direction. This thread is less about making Reputation useful now and moreover about fixing the spam problem. I just figured reputation might possibly could be used to do that. Maybe even base how many posts can be made in an hour off Reputation.

I'm gonna start negging them all on a regular basis, not because I want them to be lower, but because I want myself to me lower. They'll cycle their rep much faster than I will, I wanna see how long it takes for them to finally get me red, if they can. It should be easier now since no one posses me anymore.

I wouldn't say total. However, therein exists the problem.
Or, you could simply close the forums entirely, ceasing any spam activity 100%.

Or, you could just live with there not being a problem to begin with.

What are you saying. It sounds like your saying Boys Hole. It's Boys Soul. SOUL.

If you want to get that boys soul, you have to pay the troll toll.

Right, wherein if you call someone a hypocrite, or accuse someone of anything, without a qualifying word the assumption would be it is qualified completely. If the qualification was partial it would be expressed as such, it can not be implied if it is partial.

Granted, I didn't even say you said total, I simply said I wouldn't say total. I tend to not practice general, classical, and implied rules all of the time, such as in this instance where I accused Jeffery of being a troll.

Therein is the problem that I would actually ponder as somewhat of a purpose distinction. Jeffery clearly trolls for attention, he has read my posts, he knows he is ignored, but if I choose to view his posts at any given time, in this thread, he is still repeating himself. Why else do such a thing unless one is starved for attention? The question might arise then, why do I troll? Clearly not for attention, I dislike attention. I would say my trolling is partially caused by my dislike for certain characters whom reside on this forum. Another part might also be a longing for what these forums used to me. You tell me why you think I troll? I would love to see an outside opinion.

Edit: Oh, and I retired the name dirka dirka, I now have a common username for all interweb services.

You should change your current name for one that ends with in.
