Default Re: Alternative to the * system

would it be possible to make such a system specific to sub-forums? because i can see how BBV posters wouldn't really want OOTiots rating them (and vice versa).

I doubt that would be a problem. If BBV people aren't posting in OOT, then they won't be on the radar screen for OOT readers.

I have no idea how the software logistics would work, but that definitely sounds good. It would work out well for the strat forums as well. A well seasoned LHE player would have a great repuation in the high stakes limit forums, but should not be automatically accepted as a great NLHE poster. They would have to prove themself there as well.

you're right, a forum that starts near-daily threads about how bad OOT is and routinely produces multi-account trolls would have no interest in dicking around with that same forum by gaming a rating system. it's not like these people have a ton of time on their hands, mischief on their minds or the will to complete such a task.

i like BBV a lot, and the posters who would do something like this are not the ones i think of as good posters there. so this isn't a 'F BBV' post, it's a 'F that segment of BBV that has nothing better to do than complain about OOT because they think it's cool' post.

I think this whole thing is lame because it becomes an internet circle jerk. I had a much longer post typed out but whacked all of it. Also, I think it's hard for noobs to get noticed even when they have a good idea, and this just makes it that much harder and could discourage quality posters from regging.

If a poster sucks that should be recognizable without any rating system.

What exactly do we do with the rep points? Cash them in for 2+2 stress balls? Will that count against my MGR?

You build up your rep points so you can later rip off other posters in a Stars for Full Tilt money exchange, obv.

Yep. To add, I'm active on another forum where they have this and it's just the suck. It doesn't mean anything to the quality posters and it means the world to the crap posters.
