Tyrion Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 I've seen it,and there's some severe problems with it. 1. Spamming will be more common. 2. Moderator for a day? cant you see the problem? 3. Problems with sticky,I sense... Not even counting the glitches that came along with it.. Anyone else see the problems with this?

Ratmjedi Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 I see the same problems as well man. It is just going to make people more conciouse to what they are going to post so that it is spam but that it isn't treated as it or seen like it. I say that we do away with it. It does look like a good idea but it is only going to bring out negativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And alot more mods to make sure no one spams or such (No,this isnt a mod attempt:rolleyes: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackDove Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 I hope they just throw the idea in the trash by the end of the week and things get back to normal. This was a really, really bad idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTeddyPaul Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 I will be seriously pissed if anyone here tries to be funny and changes my custom title (or not so custom right now) to something really lame without me having enough credits to change it. If it truly is funny or something I won't have a problem. I do not post enough to get that many credits. Heck! I only post about 3 times a day and not even that sometimes. Also, if I get to 1,000 posts and still do not have enough credits to get my custom title what happens? You people are just making it that much more difficult. At least we can still change avatars as often as we like. Credits? WTF?!? BigTeddyPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Solar Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Imho it is a great idea IF people won't not abuse it. It would also be a good idea to give nuclear weapons to each and everyone of us so that we can defend ourselves against attacks from alien civilizations 'n stuff...as long as no-one abuses this power. I'm *very* skeptical about this. It'll work if everyone plays nice.... which is THEORETICALLY possible, right? Is there a list somewhere? You know "100 points give you.." etc. And what's that "Rate" button? What does it do? Has it always been there? Whatever it is, it doesn't work for me.

C'jais Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Awww, give it a chance guys! It just might prove to be a fun idea. Rate doesn't work for me either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonces Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 The way I understand it is that you'll be able to get a custom title before you get 1000 posts this way. This wouldn't impact anyone with over 1000 posts. The moderator one concerns me greatly though. Most of you know that we have quite a bit of power around here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion Posted December 31, 2002 Author Share Posted December 31, 2002 http://www.lucasforums.com/store.php?s=&action=main there. Also, you get 5-6 points for a post,and 1-2 for someone replying in your thread(besides yourself). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonces Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 The sticky thread option is also a really bad idea. I DO like the colored names and such. The Moderator and Sticky thread ones have to go though, ASAP (the rate at which credits are given make this senario a potential nightmare) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDove Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 The 1000 posts for changing the title also lose momentum, which means all of the titles that were thought up till now lose their value, which ultimately sucks big time..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Can't change custom titles anymore?!? O.o;;; *runs to check* edit: Erm...for some reason I can't edit my profile...at all... o.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luc Solar Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Thanks Tyrion! Ok. The moderator-for-a-day thing should be removed ASAP. Take a minute to think about it: You spend 3.000 points in order to gain mod-rights for A SINGLE DAY. What if nothing happens? --> *poof!* there goes 3.000 credits!? Let me tell you...if someone decides to spend 3.000(!) on the mod thing, they will use those powers. They will make their presence noted. And if you take a minute to think about what mods Do, you see the problem. Otherwise I haver no problem with this.. as long as people won't spam mindlessly.

Yeah,more mods to mod the forums,and more spam control(I wont mind as long as they give a real definition of it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonces Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 I don't mind doing spam control, it's part of the job. I think by making the penalty for spaming very severe people will think twice before doing so. Letting just anyone be a moderator though is an excercise in disaster. It's like giving the keys to your car to a six year old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfnshannon Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Hum this is all very interesting...I still am trying to understand it. So we can't change our titles anymore?? I like the idea of glowing user names...etc. I wish points were not awarded by post count. I wish it was the rate button. Like...let's say other wished to click that button on your post to say they like what you contributed (ie not spam) then you get points. And I probably wounldn't worry about the mod thing for a day - I bet they have restrictions or something that would prevent someone from abusing the "mod" power.

BigTeddyPaul Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 I am still going to wait to change my custom title until I get to 1,000. Me thinks that would be cheating everyone else who worked hard for it or others who did it in two weeks by spamming (Tyrion). Sticky post must go or at least have a time limit on how long it is sticky. BigTeddyPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDove Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Ok I sent this out to Aristotle, anyone has any objections to it, please correct me if I'm wrong. -edit- actually this should be in the stuck thread, so correct me if I'm wrong there heh.....sorry got confused a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SettingShadow Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 As posted above i think this will just get people to spam more. And that the Sticky thing and Moderator for a day could do some damage if it ended up in the wrong hands. I really dont think any of this is at all needed. Changing someone elses custom title could be used in bad ways, if he got 200 posts, and then someone change it to something that would be mean to that person and he dont have enough credits to change it himself (like BigTeddyPaul said) or just have enough to do just that, it wouldnt be very funny for him/her..... I really didnt get that thing about Italic names, whats the point with that one??? The calendar thing seems to me to be the best thing of all this.

Kstar__2 Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 i think you should keep the "rewards" just to the glowing thing and stuff, i wouldn't want to be here if some spamming lunatic was a mod for a day.... (including you, tyrion:xp: ) [spam mode] but on the other hand, i got 5 more points now! [/spam mode] ^this is what will happen, i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mex Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 I think this idea is pretty cool. But the mod for a day should be a privilage to certain members who are mature etc... And I think that all of the posts we have already done should be transfered into points, so a person with 5000 posts has 0 points, and a new guy with 240 posts already has a custom title? Thats just wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
