SIGNAL WARS

[fdrjk]

<MCS_FaderJok0> i wonder whats with the whole signal level thing on the forums
<MCS_FaderJok0> :x
<MCS_FaderJok0> i'm gonna make 15 accounts and make them +signal me every hour
<|iR|Dervish> where is this signal stuff
<quadz> i was going to call it Entropy Level, but it counts the wrong way... anyway, just an experiment with the new forum 'karma' system
<MCS_FaderJok0> didn't like applaud and smite?
<MCS_FaderJok0> lol
<MCS_FaderJok0> like acme
<quadz> yeah, those are the defaults
<MCS_FaderJok0> "signal"'s not a verb
<MCS_FaderJok0>
<quadz> i was looking for something more targeted at the usefulness of the information contenct
<|iR|Dervish> lol
<quadz> signal is most definitely a verb; but it wasn't meant as such
<quadz> content*
<|iR|Dervish> I feel a flashback of the monsterkill rep system coming on
<quadz> ah well, if it sux, easy enough to disable
<Elysium> i think some kind of reputation system would be nice cause we have the most trolls out of any forum i've ever visited :p
<MCS_FaderJok0> i always liked not having a system like that
<MCS_FaderJok0> coz then your posts are more about what you want, and not what gets you the most "signals"
<|iR|Dervish> until the core group has 1000+ rep and everyone else is in the negs who they dont like
<|iR|Dervish>
<|iR|Dervish> always fun
<MCS_FaderJok0> lol
<Elysium> i don't think a negative value would work out cause that'd just get abused the second it got enabled
<|iR|Dervish> I tested.
<|iR|Dervish> fader has a -1
<|iR|Dervish> BWAHA
<|iR|Dervish> take that fadercockk
<Elysium> oh boy :p
<MCS_FaderJok0> fu
<quadz> and so, it begins
<|iR|Dervish> hehe
<MCS_FaderJok0> you had one, i noised you
<MCS_FaderJok0> FU
<MCS_FaderJok0> NOW YOURE AT 0
<MCS_FaderJok0> MWAHAHAHHAHAHA
<MCS_FaderJok0> NOOB
<|iR|Dervish> begun the signal wars have

That's what Kosh said. Of course, he was right.

[quadz]

That's what Kosh said.

Awesome, that's the intended reference.

*bows* Nice to know B5 isn't (yet) completely forgotten.

Poor golgo..

-18

i haven't been using the function much(did a handful of times for the first time today).. but, maybe we should keep it to recent posts so it serves a better purpose. i could care less about the amount of points someone has including myself but... going back and signaling/noising past posts *could* be misleading. I think you can consecutively 'noise' someone from post to post. just pointing this out, quadz said it was an 'experiment' and I could easily see this experiment failing.. that's all.

edit: yeah I noticed that after I said poor golgo haha

oh, an exception though... since "Cheeta" can't post, everyone should go back and noise his past posts

I think you can consecutively 'noise' someone from post to post.

Good thing I don't have that many posts yet then.

Quadz should seriously fix the signal level since me have -6 is obviously a bug. I'm very certain I paid Dervish to +signal me every hour.

Sorry, you can't repeat a karma action without waiting 1 hours.
This could be switched to every 24 hours so the same person doesn't get spammed negative reputation. This is the case for another message board I frequent that also uses message board software.

Hehe, yep.

Those are showing votes received, rather than votes cast.

I don't think the system tracks who cast which votes on whom.


  <-- hmm the old 'fro' got lost in the upgrade (have a backup of the old forum though)

[Whirlingdervish]

at least we still have our
