Poster Quality

[Denmo]

Not sure if this is possible, but...

What if we changed the rep system to include the number of posts a person makes vs the amount of reputation they got? This way, it's not just based on how many reputation points you get, but how many points you get per post.

So someone who has a lot of points and very little posts would shine like gold, and someone who had an equal amount of points but a lot of posts would seem average.

This way, everyone is focused on quality over quantity even more so.

Well, maybe we can suggest it to VBulliten?

We all do.

Re: Poster Quality

Can't you just look at the amount of posts a user posted and compare that to the rep? Sure, it's not automated, but it works just fine.

We're lazy.

That'd be a cool idea, though.

HEAR THAT VBULLETIN?

Yeah you know the software that's $85 a year. Still cheaper than Invision Power Boards, still steep though.

That's not necessarily true though.

Someone can only rep me once a day. Maybe I make multiple good posts one day, but the people that wanted to rep me all rep an earlier post that day. My other posts go un-repped.

Doesn't mean I'm not as high quality as another poster, or another poster is lesser than me.

Re: Poster Quality

I don't think it really all that necessary. For the most part high rep and high post count go hand in hand. And by the time either is a significant amount theirs a general idea about what kind of poster a person is. Besides which going into posting with the idea to get rep shouldn't be the point. I just use rep to say hey man nice post. I've given rep for posts to people I don't like and there are people I do like who I don't give rep to.

Re: Poster Quality

What'd those like 18 reps in three days mean, IRC. :3

Re: Poster Quality

Personally I don't even like the idea. Some posts, namely ordinary discussion, simply aren't likely to get reputation points, good or bad. I don't like the idea of having people be penalized in their "reputation ratio" for posting.

Re: Poster Quality

MAYBE YOU CAN DIVIDE THE REPUTATION BY THE THING THAT SAYS "POSTS: # of posts" RIGHT ON TOP OF IT IN YOUR HEAD WITHOUT MAKING EXTRA WORK

DID YOU THINK OF THAT HUH
