So no-one likes my rating system???
I'll elaborate:
Everyone starts off with a certain rating (a la Germany post-hyper inflation, new currency, everyone restarted with the same amount of money - 500 marks, I believe), say, 1,000 (like gamedev).
Now basically, whenever someone makes a really good post (informative, entertaining, etc) members can rate people up (only in increments of 1, btw). And if a member makes a particually bad post (fanboyism, swearing, etc) they can be rated down (decrements of 1).
The user rating gets displayed somewhere below the usersname on every post. It can encourage people to only make good posts, and it allows people to quickly skip crap posts. |
Interesting, but surely open to abuse? People will just vote up their friends and people that have a similar console bias won't they?
My minor suggestions:
1 - The quote system still catches me out to this day, it's not obvious which 'quote' button is attached to which post.
2 - Get rid of the 'Z' in 'Chartz', it doesn't help to foster the image of reliability that the site deserves.

Yeah, *every* forum that has any kind of karma system it gets seriously abused. People start getting karma camped, make fake accoutns to raise their own karma, and so on, and then people start complaining and it just gets old and annoying quick.
