Add "Rate Post" hack to this board?

Rossco, what are the details, i.e. threshold, user records, etc.

[tesco]

-5 is the threshold.
dunno what you mean about user records.


edit: This is now fixed in opera. It now doesn't bother to try and use ajax when you're using Opera.

What happen to a thread if the original poster reaches -5?

What happen to a thread if the original poster reaches -5?

Just the first post is hidden.

I think i'll change it so the first post can't hide.

[KFlint]

yeah, first post should always be visible, if the first post is trash, we will still be moving the thread accordingly

me not like the threshold system

it's like u are implementing dictatorship

This isn't Yahoo Answer (YA!) where there is 'right' or 'wrong' answer.

I though [for most part] this is an opinion bard (of course staying withing rules) but what good is an opinion with such system?

I mean it only takes 5 thumbs down for a post to disappear?

There are thousand of people in this board and I am sure at least 5 people will disagree with every post that is made here.

Plus, it will encourage trolling. For instance, giving thumbs down to people you do not like (regardless of what their post is about) or people who belong to a group (say "trader", "anti-trader" in BT section).

and as D previously said, i would hate to go back and click 'show' button for collasped posts...just out of curiousity.

At the moment i think +1 cancels -1 and makes 0 thumbs up/ down. Me not like that, i hope we could see how many thumbs up and down each post gets....i think it will be useful in larger scale.

Say a post gets 100 thumbs down and another gets 101 thumbs up then the system will record it as +1 thumbs up? Which i find is lil awkward. Why not show total # of thumbs down/up and reflect controversy of the post?

It doesn't appear to work anyway

That works both ways.

It's the opposite of a dictatorship.

I think that's a wise decision. Would protect the stickies from an any fuckery as well, though as Barb stated and has been tested in the $20 thread, it doesn't work.
