No Compatible Thanks System Available
« on: September 19, 2014, 03:36:12 am »
I have looked and looked and tested any and all rep systems that I thought would suit our purposes. My verdict? I cannot find a system that does NOT show or have an option to disallow viewing the total amount of thanks/likes/karma/etc. someone has, which is rather unacceptable. Anything which shows such a total leads to rep spam, pure and simple. So we cannot do that.

Unless you all have a solution, it looks like the question of whether or not to have a rep system has been decided for us really. Sorry again.

What about rep system with rep handed out by moderators (or just yourself) to knowledgeable and trusted posters?

Especially since the requirements for mod positions seem a lot more strict than zoklet (Vizier as a moderator when I checked back one time last year? WTF) That place was downhill since mid last year. /end rant

In the end though whatever you say goes and stick to your guns unless you got a good reason not to, a big problem with zoklet was the amount of general retard behaviour that was allowed, and eventually they became moderators, and the good posters got drowned out in the bullshit and either left, posted crap themselves, or started drinking and trollong (like I did after I quit as moderator of Bad Ideas on Zoklet.) Of course Zok shut that place down. /really end rant

Thanks for checking out the options for everyone. I guess we'll have to use our words when we want to express gratitude or approval. Hey, that wasn't too bad.

Also as STD said, there are communities I have been involved in where only M&A can give karma, and then once a user has received a certain number of karma (usually 20), they can give out like 1 karma a day.

This encourages orderliness and self-policing.
