Post Ratings Discussion

[HG 400]

I would like for there to be a rating that means "I don't quite understand what you're trying to say, and that's probably because you're a legitimately retarded mongoloid who's spouting spastic gibberish at an online forum to make up for the lack of love and affection you receive in your daily life, but there's also an outside chance I might just be missing the point, or perhaps you're referencing an injoke I'm not familiar with, and I'll look really dumb after you explain it."

It comes up a lot on the kiwi farms.

I nominate we call it "Splunge".

I guess I could use https://kiwifarms.net/styles/dark/ratings/autistic.png for now, but it doesn't capture all the nuance.

Maybe a little confusion mark? Call it "wtf?".

I miss the A-Log rating. It was useful.

Fixed.

we should be able to rate our own posts

Clearly doesn't have a ulterior motive

 

[The Jumping Dwarf]

We need a "Ween" rating for weens.

We also need a "Bait" rating for baitposters.

Any of those could replace the Horrifying rating as a contributor-exclusive, because there are so many fucking horrifying things in this forum I think it should be publically available.

 

[The Jumping Dwarf]

And an Enterbot rating for, you know, Enterbots. @KFC had came up with the idea a while ago and I completely agree. And it would be a negative rating too, obviously. The icon should be a mini MrEnter head.

I don't really think our little subforum that no one likes needs exclusive ratings. When some sperg acts like an Enterbot we can always use https://kiwifarms.net/styles/dark/ratings/bin_empty.png or https://kiwifarms.net/styles/dark/ratings/autistic.png .

This would get misused so fucking much. Not a god damn person on this website knows what ween means anymore.

Like the whole Deagle Nation "anti fun weens" fiasco.

I'm starting to think people don't know what the a-log rating means either.

I've added a new rating only accessible by admins.

"Achievement" ratings are for posts that are remarkable for either their impact on a Lolcow or generally just being a stellar contribution.

How much positive ratings is it worth?

I thought the same thing and looked into trying to weigh it more heavily, but there's technical limitations. Redoing the rating system is one of the things on my agenda now that I have free time.

Cool, that would be awesome. How much do you plan to make it? I'd suggest anywhere from 10-100 (broad I know, but there are tons of circumstances that need to be averaged somewhere in the middle).

I think "Achievement" should just remain "1" positive rating like every other positive rating. It would seem unfair to make it worth more than that.

Not really, a REALLY good contribution should be worth more than something you'd just "like".

I would agree if it was a rating that we unwashed masses could give, but if it's admin-only it might be a good idea to make it more than 1 point.
