What is everyones thoughts on a Thread Rating system?  At the moment the only two ways of really telling a good thread from a bad thread is usually the reply count as upposed to the view count, and the user's reputation who created the thread.  It could be as simple as a star rating 1-5, or something like just a star for a decent thread with a abreviation for the type of thread eg. Serious=S  Fun=F  etc..

I think the simple star rating would be great, doesnt even have to be stars... could be V's.

I like the idea of rating threads like we can rate users by giving trust points; therefore, I suggest that rating thread should be limited in a fashion similar to rating users. That way the good threads get better ratings from users who have more-reliable opinions. Limit it to Trusted and above, but place limits within this to prevent abuse.

Basing voting on threads on the trusted system will not work well. Almost everyone is trusted the trust system is kinda broken in some peoples views. Right now you become trusted if you make some friends on this site that are trusted. It's really easy to become trusted.

So voting on threads using trusted and up doesn't really mean much. Threads will be easily voted up or if someone doesn't like someone else they can vote the thread into a grave. Anyway right now you get experiance for how good your posts and threads are. So I really think that is a good enough reward for making good threads.

If we can fix the trust system to really mean your trusted then maybe some time we can think about a thread voting system.

Good idea but it just can't work right now.

I do like the idea of a rating system as long as it doesn't get abused the way the thumb system did. With that, someone found a glitch and voted David down into negatives.


RequiemHaunt :

"the trust system is kinda broken in some peoples views"

It's completely broken. Some of the older and/or more experienced members follow the rules and give them to quality members. Unfortunately a good chunk of people treat it as a spoils system (make friends with trusted users and they give you points) or as "I give you one, you give me one." The second option has gotten a few people banned, so that doesn't happen as much.

But you and me havent been banned...
lol, joke.

I like the idea of rating threads, and i dont think many people would rate based on if they liked the person, so it would be outweighed by normal decent members.
Not that i would neccessarily be influenced by a threads rating, i trust my view on it more than other peoples obviously.

Between getting Viz for having people reply to your threads, and the actual trust point system, I think it's kinda redundant having so many "Rating" systems. It seems like one or the other would work well enough, and since the site pretty much revolves around Viz....it's probably best to just keep it the way it is.

I like the idea of rating threads. However, you should not be able to give or get trusted points for it, nor receive Viz for it. Maybe staff points for the Mods, and leave it at maybe 3 to 5 a day, but that's it. I think it is an interesting idea. But then again, it is up to David. Let's see what he thinks.

Davideo7 : I know I summon you a lot, but I think you should take a look at this user's idea. It is pretty interesting, to say the least. I think it is at least worth considering, seeing as how we can rate people, screen shots, and games. Why not be able to rate threads?

I actually do have plans on doing this eventually but based on my current to do list for the site, it probably wont happen for another 6 or so months. Speaking of rating systems, I also plan to re-do the trust point system, plan to add a few other things you can rate a user on, allow users to rate posts and allow them to rate threads.

Davideo7 : This is really great news. The last change to the trust point system worked well, but the trust point system is still a little corrupted. And we will eventually be able to rate threads? What about the promise of the battle arena? With out the battle arena, what is the whole point of having weapons and gear in the item shop?

thing1 : The entire Trust point system would be recreated. Yes someday you'll be able to rate threads. We will have a battle arena someday but I'm not sure when. Right now most of the gear is just for fun and increases your stats. The stats are just like any other stat, pointless but fun to look at.

It would make more sense to me, if instead of the threads being rated, the thread ratings were based on the poster themselves. For instance, a person who posts quality posts often, and are active and get many replies to their posts, would generally have a higher quality rating that is displayed for all of that person's posts. The less replies and activity a person's posts get, the shorter and less detailed they become, the more their overall rating drops. Therefore each specific poster would have to work at making quality threads that get a lot of attention so that their thread ratings remained high, attracting visitors.
