Why is the thumbs down button back?

hellninjas · « **Reply #1 on:** August 06, 2012, 12:38:50 am »

I just noticed this!
Maybe it's a test for something?

I think it was because its removal was temporary in the first place, removed until dust fall or something, as some sort of trial.

Pretty much the same reasons why the Spam forum disappears from times to times.

I just wish that the rating mod would have been made so that down/upvoting time was logged, so that http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=ezportal;sa=page;p=25 is sorted in order and staff can spot vandalism easier via the db.

that along with some "prevent more than three ratings per half hour" rule or something like that would be helpful. i have no clues if something like that is even feasible, though, so i suppose it goes on the stack of ideas along with the 10% rule for spam.

they are both things that can be useful but can also be taken advantage of far too easily.

That would be a nice idea actually. It would require someone knowing PHP, though, as I doubt the original authors would add that.

is there a mix. number for negative rating onto a single post, or can we get inlimited negative ratings?

I agree that's a good idea, but I think it should onlybe for negative ratings. Because if multiple persons posts really great things, you'll give positive ratings to the first few guys but not to the last ones anymmore because you don't wanna wait for such a long time!

How about negative ratings per half an hour, but positive ratings per day?

Here's how positive / negative ratings work: A person may only uprate or downrate a single post once. Clicking uprate or downrate again removes the rating. What Shmibs was talking about was in the past we had people troll downratings. Some people would get mad at a particular person and go and downrate several of their posts quickly to make it look as if they had a bad total post rating. What he was suggesting was a limit to how often you could downrate a specific user in a certain time period. We did have people uprate spamming as well ,(some with duplicate accounts) however that did not happen as often.

How about Max. rates per posts of one specific person?
so I can give 10 today, but only 2 of them to posts of you.
That would make sense to prevent downrate or uprate spamming.

That is actually a very good idea! I agree with this.

I don't know, I don't want users too feel to restricted by the system. If things get too complicated with it, it will loose it's meaning and people won't use it.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #12 on:** August 06, 2012, 01:15:50 pm »

Another idea I had was showing positive and negative ratings received separately in the total post ratings section of your profile (near posts and in the detailled profile). One issue is that certain members tried to make themselves look clean by contributing a lot about calc stuff while still being rude or trolling elsewhere, so they could get away with a very high rating.

Another idea would be to display a % rating below each ones, so for example if out of 1059 ratings someone got 895 positive ones, it shows a score of 85%. Maybe we should avoid displaying a red and green bar like on Youtube, though, otherwise some people will bring up rather spammish Youtube memes such as Quigibo's dislike bar being the same size as Justin Bieber penis and Njaddison having a lightsaber.

i second that.
Maybe a poll on voting for that should be started?
