I don't think I've *ever* seen a good rating system. It's either unfair and people bitch or too fair and people still bitch. There's no in between.
Like with your 500+ posts rule, what about the members who just aren't really vocal and maybe make a post or two a day if that? They could be at 300 posts but been a member long than you. They contribute but they just don't feel the need to post about ever little thing.
And then what about people making nothing posts just to boost their post count so they can vote? They can still stick within all the guidelines and still be incredibly annoying.
No, there's just no good way to rate threads or posts. People will always bitch and it will always turn out badly. |
Well then they would have to have joined for at least 2 weeks , and have a post count over 50 or 100. |
Alright, today I make 5 account. In 2 weeks I can start spamming thread ratings whatever direction I want. When someones thread suddenly drops to a low rating inevitably bitch and the thread gets hopelessly off topic. |
That is what the post count is for. I don't think the person is going to want to do 100 posts on 5 different accounts just so they could rate a thread low. By the time they even get all of those posts the thread could be gone and dead.
