idea to remove crap posts.

MaTTFURY · 19th May 2006, 07:15

I assure you as you read this it's not a crap post, this is my idea for getting rid of crap posts:

1. ok you post something
2. you see your post and read whether its crap or not.
3. you rate the post in a descriptive manner, (bad, medium, excellent) sort of thing.
4. your post is then factored by a percentage.

so if:
this post = bad, then its worth 0.33 posting points, or post count..

or if this post = medium then its worth
0.50 posting points.

or if its worth 1.0 points it would an excellent post.

there might be a few flaws in my posting `vote` process and you might need four ... poor, average, medium and then excellent. so it balances it out. but either way i would like this idea to be put into the forums after this thread has finished so it actually works

it would also eliminate a lot of clutter and spam from e.g. myself or tuckerm.

Mr Jones · 19th May 2006, 07:18

Your post count would drop to zero.

And who, prey tell, is going to go around removing the poorly rated posts?

siebe83 · 19th May 2006, 07:21

How would it eliminate a lot of clutter and spam? Even if the post only counts for 0.33 post, it's still there, right?

Or do you mean you won't make a post if it's only worth 0.33 post? (and thus admit that you are just postpumping?)

MaTTFURY · 19th May 2006, 07:21

General users and or moderators :|
it seems you have nothing else to do ...

edit:
with the thread i re-thought it and was to lazy to delete three and instead put four, as i added it onto the thread
but if someones post count was worth less, i just think that someone is more likely to post better posts.

General users hahahaha, is that the same general users who you've just said post crap posts to start with?

Can you see the logic in your argument starting to unravel yet?

Or someone will just make four crappy posts instead of one to reach the same postcount.

jheriko · 19th May 2006, 07:33

what a crap post...

MaTTFURY · 19th May 2006, 07:33

comes from the one that counts in the bin >_<

siebe83 · 19th May 2006, 07:34

Now that's a good idea!

I read this thread title, who authored it, then had to go to the toilet for some wet work. I had already fabricated a counter post in my head. When I returned you, Mr Jones, had already posted it

Counter post idea #2:

Are you bloody kidding??? You have no less than 305 posts in the recycle bin...

That few?

What a n00b!

edit: more like 3041 according to the search

k_rock923 · 19th May 2006, 14:34

This is, without a doubt, the dumbest idea i have ever heard.

CraigF · 19th May 2006, 14:56

I have a better idea. A crapometer under your avatar, that is built based on your percentage of posts in the bin.

I like! And it wouldn't take *that* much work to implement either...

That, or change the "Custom Title" functionality to use this algorithm...

CraigF · 19th May 2006, 15:03

Yup

ASD5A · 19th May 2006, 15:05

crapometer under the avatar for the win!
i suggest a little bin that gets bigger when the user posts
in the bin.

or if (bin posts)/(counting posts) is bigger 1 change the ct
to "bin veteran"

Mattress · 19th May 2006, 15:11

I never understood why people cared about their post counts to begin with...

k_rock923 · 19th May 2006, 15:22

typical. now that our admin and a mod suggested it, everybody is going to start brown nosing and jump on the bandwagon.

Mr_007 · 19th May 2006, 16:08

Its a great idea.
also not for me that cant comeback all my posts.

Widdykats · 19th May 2006, 16:09

Not me, K...I got better things ta' do with my nose!

What?

I was kidding.

But recycle bin posts dont count towards your over all post total, thus i post images and stuff. That also includes the counting to 1 million thread which i'm active in.

ElChevelle · 19th May 2006, 22:00

Great!
Another quest to see who can have the biggest crap-o-meter.

It's like a race to see can be the biggest loser around here anymore.

k_rock923 · 19th May 2006, 22:07

I lose.

ScorLibran · 19th May 2006, 22:09

I have very few posts in the Bin (42 out of 4488) because I don't post in threads like this one.

edit:
Doh! Dammitdammitdammit.

Although you should make it smaller, like a small button.

Mr Jones · 20th May 2006, 12:42

Shrink signature tucker, it's bigger than your posts, which makes one or both of them pretty worthless.

Cheers

tuckerm · 20th May 2006, 12:51

Done.

If I had never stopped my posting rampage and forgotten about the forums for the time I did I would be far past you by now

swingdjted · 22nd May 2006, 04:44

I respect bin posters - those people know that their post count means nothing, since bin posts don't count. The bin can be fun too. If I cared about my post count I would never post there.

...and I say this knowing there's a good chance that this thread will probably be moved to the bin and my post count adjusted...
