+ 13 Revised voting system

ad

It needed a change, due to abuse and too much moderation work. So here is what we got:
Different "roles" affect author's karma differently. The higher your role is the more say you have. For instance, GURU's vote will give more karma to comment's author than "LVL1"

These roles give +3

  • MOD - "MOD badge" Assigned by us.
  • GURU - "GURU badge" Assigned by us.
  • PRO - "PROFESSIONAL badge" Assigned by us.

These roles give +2

  • EXP - "EXPERT badge" Needs karma +650 or higher
  • ADV - "ADVANCED badge" Needs karma +400 or higher

These roles give +1

  • LVL3 - "LVL3 badge" Needs karma +200 or higher
  • LVL2 - "LVL2 badge" Needs karma +100 or higher
  • LVL1 - "LVL1 badge" Needs karma +50 or higher

These roles give 0, but add to thumbs up/down count in comments

  • SRC - "SOURCE Representative badge" Assigned by us.
  • REG - "Regular user badge" Needs karma +6 or higher.
  • BASIC - "Basic user badge" Karma -25 to +5.
  • TROLL - "Troll badge" Karma -25 or lower.
  • NEW - "NEW badge" Starts with Karma +1.
    NEW can not vote anything except if he has advanced to REG within 3 weeks.
    We need to make soure he/she is not here just to spam or troll.

Basically what we're trying to do is rank users based on their input and experience, not popularity.
You welcome to vote on comments to show support or approval even if it won't affects karma pts, it might attract attention from users that directly participate in user ranking.
Those that have enough karma to affect karma, I urge you to use the voting buttons responsibly!

So whats a good way to get 10 karma so that I can vote?

So whats a good way to get 10 karma so that I can vote?

1) Don't ask "So whats a good way to get 10 karma so that I can vote?".

2) Not bumping old topics.

I'm seriously considering putting you in negative digits.

You have had 5 hours: Consideration period is now closed.

At one point I think they did...now I think there is just the no karma whoring rule

TheHorse's picture

Gorillafit's picture

Won't get it waiting. Must participate and earn karma.

TheHorse's picture

How i can rate a source because he deserve it so good service!!

wallabokkie's picture

Just a quick one. When the new rating system was rolled out I did notice one member gaind 100 rep points over night. I am curious as to why this may have happened.

Best Steroids's picture

Has the source ranking and voting stars been affected? Just asking cos I noticed my score went down but nobody down voted me any more than they had when the score was higher.

markymark's picture

No problem for me. As long as i keep finding good sources and info from the"high karma"peeps,i can be a 4 for ever!!!!!

killinit88's picture

this seems like a really good way of doing it, keeps shit in line. Besides are we really here for popularity, or are we here to learn? Dont worry about if you dont have enough points to give someone points. You can still thumbs up them to let them know what they said was helpful, which is really why you should be doing it anyways.

BFG's picture

your "role" wasn't updated yet, because you haven't received any votes since the update.
Well i fixed that by upvoting you, and you should be gtg Smile

adv+mod = +3, same goes for all categories only the highest role counts

maxamax's picture

yo, im really liking the "troll" badge. its going to be funny reading a guy cry and moan about a source while reading their troll badge. should make for good entertainment.

wallabokkie's picture

Looks like a plan big man. You went further than I thought. Then I should be starting to expect that here by now. Fantastic job

Multipurpose's picture

I don't understand the new system. I got 2 thumbs up and 0 added points?

BFG's picture

it depends on who voted you

Multipurpose's picture

So, basically there is no point in voting comments up or down because I have no effect on their points.

BFG's picture

with the new update, you need at least 50pts for LVL1 so you can give actual pts.

MAC's picture

Whoa! I guess I lost MOD priveledges!

sweetness there back

Gorillafit's picture

Mine says REG also. Did you miss a level in the description, between "Basic" and "LVL1"?

Beachbdygrl's picture

I'm noticing people with 10+ points have "REG" badge. Is it supposed to say "REG" above where it says "Basic?"

Gorillafit's picture

Nice, It looks cleaner, sharper.
I was so close to lvl 1.
If only I was shorter, younger, richer, thinner, more active.....
Oh well, additional motivation. Keep learning, interacting, GROWING!!!!!!
Thanks BFG and all MODs for making Eroids available!
