Add "Rate Post" hack to this board?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)Posted by: 100%
Thought it could be interesting to try on this board.
"This hack allows your users to rate the individual posts in the threads...
..a negative rating that is below a predefined threshold (defined by admin) will be collapsed with an expand link there to show the hidden posts."
sort of like vote up or down in digg etc.

i think there is such a thing already

i am referring to "posts" not entire "threads"
Posted by: SCR
you mean every post in a thread ?

I like the idea but it's got no use on this forum... :lol:

i thought it worked on vbulletin?
Posted by: DKre8ive1
I said no since the way it is now I can quickly glance over the spam posts and if everything that the majority of users feel don't deserve attention would be collapsed it would just add time to my forum reading due to having to click on it out of curiosity.
The reason it works on digg I think is because they are news stories and not a thread asking questions or of a member posting his opinion on something.
But what do I know that is just my viewpoint on it. :P

It would be useful if it collapsed the entire BT section. :smilie4:

Not sure why. :unsure:

That it is no longer being modified(updated), hence it is either perfect or it has been left to sleep.
I searched for other of this type hacks, this is the only one.
Blame me if the board goes down.
please, give it a shot?

please, give it a shot?I can't download it because of it being in modification graveyard.
I could create this hack myself, but are we going to keep it if I do that?

It would work with an older crowd, but I would get seriously bored after digging eight out of every ten comments. I like the concept, though.
A more feasible idea would be to add a "SPAM" button instead of a report post button. With enough SPAMS the post gets deleted.
Posted by: 100%
weather it is used here is up to the users.
nice, if you can make it,(amazing) then it can be hosted here,sold for millions, hence adding more traffic, giving you more work....
try to find this hack other than that place on google.
win, win
anyway, thanks for registring etc etc and trying rossco.

That's the idea I was thinking.
Like youtube has.
A thumbsup and thumbsdown button on every post. The psot will display the rating next to it, example: +5, 0, or -7
After the number goes below -5 the post will be hidden to users who view the thread (unless they click a button "show post").
@100%, I already have an account there... and was already logged in. :P
I already knew that hack existed, but it's for an older version of vbulletin anyway.

like they have in Yahoo Answers?
i think an answer with 5 thumbs down is collapsed with an expand link
but i don't see much much use in this forum
unlike yahoo answers, majority post here are opinion not facts.
So, i think it will likely be misused (than used).
I mean, people will give thumbs down to a post if they don't agree with what someone has to say....and i think board (like FST) are to here everyone not selective or majority opinion.
edit: If someone is violating rule, there is a report section for that...and DKre8ive1 (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/../../members/dkre8ive1-123675) said i would spend too much time expanding the collasped posts...just out of curiousity.

Oh great blame me . :( . Why not try it in specific forms , say Bitorrent or the Lounge ?
Posted by: krunktastic
It'd probably be better off in forums where answers mean something, like Software, for instance.
Posted by: tesco
So, I created this mod.
We can try it for a while see how it goes.
More options will be added to it later on if we're going to keep it.
Posted by: squirr3l
lolz i just saw it
+1 thumbs up
but it will go crazy in bt-tard section
Posted by: whiteyes
success by opening in new tap.
didnt work by direct link.
i'm using Opera 9.24.
nice function!
thanks!
Posted by: Blue_Skies
I like the idea, but users should be able to override it in their User CP. Then everyone is happy.
Especially if you could choose forum specific e.g. don't hide buried posts in Bittorrent section, but hide them in Bittorrent invite section

It seems that a lot of the site is broken in Opera.
So I just spent a lot of time trying to fix my code only to find out that the problem isn't with my code, it's with vbulletin.:frusty:

it's not a big problem to me. i'm very satisfied with this function now. :D
i know many sites cant display well on Opera.
thank you again.:)
hope this can decrease those "+1" spamming posts.:D
Posted by: Cabalo
hehe, squirrel is in trouble now.
+1 :D

Hey thanks Rossco!
I had given up on it.
Did you make it yourself?
Lets see how it goes
Posted by: krunktastic
Rossco, what are the details, i.e. threshold, user records, etc.
Posted by: 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.

thanks!

What happen to a thread if the original poster reaches -5?
Posted by: tesco
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.:unsure:
Posted by: 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 :cry:
it's like u are implementing dictatorship :lol:
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?

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.

This is a test post to show what it looks like when a post is hidden.
Sorry, didn't realize this was set to work for MY USERNAME ONLY. :lol:

:lol: Rossco -99 -98 now.
This message has been hidden because it is under the post rating threshold.

i was thinking there is a 'show' button but none =/

Well Ive been holding back but this is plain silly...
Posted by: Barbarossa

I've got a "show" button. Am I special? :blink:
If there's no show button I agree with reality, it's plain silly.
Hell, I agree with reality anyway, it's plain silly :dabs:
Posted by: Hairbautt
I don't have a show button :unsure:

"View Post" in the show button. ;)

I must need glasses because I cant see any "View post" button and I think rossco meant "view post is the show button". But I am not sure to be honest since I cant find either. :lol:
Posted by: Barbarossa
It looks like only mods and admin currently have access to the "View Post" link.
Presumably this is an oversight which will be corrected shortly :whistling

i accidentally gave thumbs down when my intention was actually to give it a thumbs up. Is there a way to change it? If yes, how? If not, could we have such feature as well plz?
Posted by: Quylui
me not like the threshold system :cry:
Squirrel, this is much more like a democracy. For people new to torrents, software, or file sharing in general, this idea will act as a tool to help those out-of-the-know gain a greater knowledge from veteran users.
it's like u are implementing dictatorship :lol:
Again, this shouldn't be the case. This isn't a dictatorship, as one person doesn't decide which answers are voted down and which ones aren't. WE do. Therefore, the people with the most accurate answers are likely to get their posts voted up more often.
This isn't Yahoo Answer (YA!) where there is 'right' or 'wrong' answer.
True, there aren't right or wrong answers. But more knowledgeable people are likely to have their comments voted up due to the time they take to post and answers they choose to give. This vote up/down system should eliminate most spam, which I think (correct me if I'm wrong) is it's primary goal.
I can't say that I agree with the rest of your arguments either, but hey - we're all entitled to our own opinion. ;)

I second that. I accidently gave myself two thumbs down instead of annulling the 1 thumb down I had on one of my posts :P
