Staredit Network

All these topics right now are talking about how some of these posts are just stupid and totally unconstructive especially in some forums where not neccesary?

Well, maybe for some forums, maybe should u guys should make it so that once you submitted your post, it will be put in some sort of "waiting list" and many hired Post reader mods would review them and then decide if it's worthy of posting or not? Kind of like the DLDB?

Just an idea

I know phpBB has the ability to screen theads and posts. I'm sure Invision has that ability. Why don't we try it at places like the feedback forum, map making assistance, serious discussion, and any other places that might need it.

Would easily be possible...
one click of a button could make it that way.

However, it'll slow down topics and make a lot of work and just by messy.

Edit ~ Just as fast as we could approve posts, we could delete them when we find them. You'll also have the problem of the same post being written over and over again simply because the first one who said it doesn't exist yet.

We were thinking of a better idea before (we have yet to implant it). Every member will have the ability to give 1 vespene gas to every member every week. Gas will be like reputation points, except every 25 gas, you get 50 minerals or something. Posting less crap and being cooperative with the community.

We're still working out the technicalities...

I suggested a rep system a long time ago, i guess im just ahead of my time

Vesprene gas? But... I was possibly going to use that in an updated armies mod

I would rather keep the vespene gas than have it traded for wortheless minerals. At least the vespene gas would be kind of like a honor token. And 50 minerals is hardly enouth in my opinion.

Then let it be at the store. Sell 50 minerals for 25 vespene gas. People can buy it if they want it.

I don't know what else to call it thats starcraftish. Supply? Control? PSI? None sounds good


Good idea, actually, to improve on your idea, some abilities, store items and so on should only be accessed by a minimum gas amount. Thus, you really can't spam to get it, because members judge your posts.

How about Kills?
The more Kills you have, the higher honor you have because killing more on SC and living through it gives you more respect and stuff.

We've changed around the way you get minerals and post increments... but we're not releasing the exact character values required to get to these amounts to discourage people from *trying to get on the exact amount in their posts*. If you really want minerals and posts, you must work your way to it, through giving quality feedback and so on and so forth.

I kinda like the Kills idea if we ultimately decide to use Vesprene gas as a seperate currency for armies. However, "giving" other member's "kills" does sound a little weird.

How about a Kill Score? Or something with the leaderboard? You could do anything really, I mean you could give people HP or something.

Maybe you give zerg larva

And it turns into an egg and hatches into various zerg species!!! Zergling = 1 reputation point and has the highest probablity!!! Ultralisk = 7 points and has a .05% chance!

lol...

Anyways, I just wanted to test something, so here it is.

how about a custom score instead of kills?

Geez, how ineffective do you want to render the moderating team?

Ya, I hope this isn't going where I think it's going...

I have two questions then.
[center] 1.: [/center]
Lets suppose for a minute this system is put into place, and the currency used is the custom score. I make a post. Bob likes the post, so he adds 1 custom score to my profile. Joe owns 2 accounts on SEN. He doesn't like my posts, so he takes away a custom score using each of his accounts. Eventually, it is discovered that Joe has more than one account. His accounts are deleted/suspended. Would the custom score he took from me be returned?
[center] 2.: [/center]
Lets suppose for a minute this system is put into place, and the currency used is the custom score. I make a post. Bob likes the post, so he adds 1 custom score to my profile. I do something stupid and I get a warning. Can someone (excluding mods and admin) take or add to my custom score while I have this warning?

ADDITION:
Also, I think a poll should be made to determine what the other thing should be called (I.e., custom score, gas, kills)

I concur. But if the admin want to decide by themselves, then so be it.

I wanted something in place where member's could take away these custom scores... however, they could only take one away every 7 days or so. Yoshi tore that to pieces because people would target the members with the most custom score's automatically, and he's right. Therefore, member's won't be able to take away scores.

I don't see how this would render the mods ineffective...

I was talking about the first post, which is what this topic is supposedly about.

So will this reputation system ever go into effect?

After my exams.

I'd certainly make our jobs easier


We could have like, a decay for everyones reputation. So if you're doing bad things your rep goes down slowly because no one gives you rep points.

I think we should wait on doing this mod until we fix all the other ones .
