Damn, what did I do to impact 3 people to ignore me. Lower then I thought to be honest.
I hate personally censoring people, even the dumbasses, cause you can learn from everyone. Yet, I've used that feature once, and only because the subject in question constantly posts irrelevant material to draw heat. Which, I did at one time, and turned everyone against me.
You all can stop telling us how many people are ignoring you, because everyone who's REALLY interested can look it up for themselves. Thanks

So if someone gets rated a 0 as their first rating, and posts a bit, and then everyone likes what they say and everyone gives them 10's (even the original 0 is changed), for anyone with a threshold > 0, they will never see those posts that made everyone change the rating, they will only see the posts with the instant rating of 10. Correct?
Even the instant ratings within posts change...SOMETIMES.
One concept to do with ratings part of an idea that I was planning on testing this year, but I don't have the time to set-up and administer a board at the moment (better to come here and mess up the Zims house)
My idea is thus: Apply weighting to the ratings system. i.e. if someone rates you a zero, and they have a low personal rating themselves, it will have minimal impact on your personal rating. Conversely if they have a high rating, it will have a greater effect on your rating. The point of this is to lessen the effect of trolls that hand out zero's to people who tell them off. Where this can feed into is by altering users privileges based on rating, eg low ratings can't start new threads, etc. The thesis of my concept would be whether or not a message board could then 'self moderate'.

PS My thoughts are that it won't work (board self moderation) but I think the experiment would yield some interesting results.

How to Make the Wienerboard a Better Place, Chapter 1: Just because you can't spell "Heidenreich", doesn't make you clever.Interesting concept, Big G, but it'd probably be a little too easy to manipulate. I mean, assuming this board hasn't changed the rating system from the stock one, they're already weighted by post count, so you get someone getting absolutely shit-hammered by people with nothing better to do than post and rate (although the post counts here are nowhere NEAR Mothership territory... the highest one there's somewhere over 30,000)... it wouldn't work out TOO well, but it's a start.

Giving it a test run, I've found that it doesn't block Weiners who haven't been rated. Just wanted to pass that along.

1. Does this function work only for individual ratings? (Ex.: If I rated userX 3, and my limit was 4, would he be blocked?)
1a. If I rated userX 3, my limit is 4, and userX's overall rating is 5, would he be blocked?
2. If it IS based on overall rating, and userX's rating fluctuates from 3.9 to 4.1, and my limit is 4, will his posts disappear and reappear with the peaks and valleys?

Originally posted by CRZOne more time: Your threshhold is compared against the "Instant Rating" contained in the post data, not your own personal rating of that person (unless you're the sole person to have rated that user, in which case they are equivalent)

(So, yes.)
