There's a karma system.
Another site I'm at has it

You sure it's IPB 1.3?

Not that that would even matter anyway, seeing as we won't be IPB anything soon enough.

And there are a lot of other problems that come up with the system. So you guys will have to try pretty hard to convince us if you really want it. Just don't get your hopes up...

I'm sure we can chat its way in.

Well, the Karma system is like this:
We need a way to make the members that make good, thought-out posts feel recognized for it.
Even if it doesnt do anything, a nice +1 rating can make your day

How about you give us the benefit of the doubt and if there ARE problems then take it away, clearly a lot of people want it so why not see what really happens rather than having a hunch of what might happen?

Yes, the overall goal is to get people to post more thought out posts. And I think there are better ways of doing it. The karma system was designed for not exactly that, and like I said before it would probably bring up a lot of problems.

edit: and what about a -1?

Mention why you think it will cause problems.

Then you KNOW you've pissed someone off, instead of it silently brewing until it finally bursts through.

1) Because it's not as simple as pushing a button to getting it up here.
2) It's going to have to be taken off anyway, whether it's a good or bad thing. (ZB)
3) All of you don't represent the entire forum.

And one of the problems I am already thinking of is something that a lot of members have a hard time with already. This could only add to the problems. And I have enough things going on with TBT right now.

It could also lead to bullying.

That can be a good thing you know.
and...
Please stop thinking ZB is around the corner.

What things Storm. You keep telling me you have articles to write. I wrote my latest article in 30 minutes and I have quotes saying that it was the best post they have ever read. You have time to argue with me for the better part of the day, Darth as the time to do a rank contest that fails, and Bul has the time to try to get Fabio's POTW up and running. Where did those lead us?

With most Karma systems, you can disable Ranking privilages for an amount of time.
If you have to, you can suspend someone's ranking ability.
Also, you can set it so you can only change a certain person's karma once a week, or so

Um, no.

It would expose that bully and then he would get a low rating. Kind of like karma.

I'll talk to you in IRC if you want to know what I do everyday for TBT. (although I still think that's pretty nosy)

Sadly nobody has done something complete enough for IF to have those options.

You are right, bullying isn't a good thing, but people aren't going to down vote someone for no reason, nobody here is that much of a jerk.

I am leaving in two minutes so even if I wanted to I'd couldn't PM it to me if you want to.

People can learn if they have some brains to start with.
