Ranking Edits

Post by 73129 »

Evening all,

I need your input into a ranking system Iam planning to implement for the forum, so I welcome suggestions into what should be put underneath avatars on profiles.
The suggestions will then be compiled and put on the forum soon.

Many thanks
Tom

As soon as you start going down this route you'll have the young ones posting tripe just to bump there post count up .

It's not a competition to get the most posts , Its about sharing information and ideas and helping those who require help .

On another forum I frequently use they have a feedback score for positive information and general help to other users on the forum.we could have a button on each users profile that when clicked on will leave 1 feedback rarebit score which will show up under the users avatar.

I think things like post numbers rankings and points for helpful posts are something that the younger generations probably appreciate more than the adults amongst us. As said before the forum is running perfectly well as it is without the need for changes, we already have a join date and a post count and now it seems a mile post, seems a bit of an overkill to me, this isn't farcebook <gg>
Cheers

Agreed, leave the forum as it is, it works fine.

I preferred this forum over it's predecessor because it was more open with less rules, until recently that is.... ;)

I don't post much, but I do read a lot and I have to agree with Tony Dave and Malc.

What's with the unseemly desire to "fix" what isn't broken round here all of a sudden?

Regards,

Anthony
