Good Post and Bad Post: a good way to auto-regulate spam.

Hello,

I think that the Good Post and Bad Post system would be a good improvement to the Sythe forums. Why? Because most people here are lazy and don't bother reporting spam/innappropiate posts.

A user who posted a post with 10+ Bad Post votes would be infracted.

 

What if said user was hated and posted a legitimately helpful post?

 

I never really liked these 'Rep' and 'Good and Bad post' systems. Besides, this could easily be misused to make someone look bad.

10 bad posts = 1 infraction is a bad idea... That means 50 infractions before getting a 3 day ban in the current system.

EDIT: Is it a three day or a week ban? I dun rememberz.

 

Yes, true... And you can't say if a user hates or doesn't another one... This idea needs some improvement.

 

3 day ban. This system was only a test though.

 

Ok, here's the new suggestion: a post can only be voted once per person, so atleast 10 people would have to hate that user so he gets infracted.

 

If it's a bad or a non-helpful post, just report it. There's no need for this system to be implemented.

 

People here are lazy. If not, they'd level legitly RuneScape, gain cash legit... We need systems for lazy people, few people bother reporting.

 

Ya there are a bunch of people that are too lazy to report these kinds of things Im one of them. I may see a bunch of spam but I only report maybe one a day if I report any of them.

 

Yeah I spend like 3-4 hours a day on Sythe, I see a whole bunch of spams. I'm honest and I can say I report like a 10% of spams I see...

 

It's not hard to click one button and type one word.

"spam"

"useless"

"off topic" oh shit two words.

 

say ciao to unpopular opinions then

 

I think we all should stop caring about spam and just make this forum a little bit more fun.

 

Just directly take off the postcount and and add activity rate.

 

I think it's fine how it is, a lot of people report posts. I honestly don't see the real need for it.

 

agree fully..

and yes needs more improvement on idea

 

i could be wrong but i feel the report post button is fine as is?
