An Idea for Facepunch: A Rating Statistict for each user. - General

For what if each user got, below his name, a statistict of the percentage of Ratings that person gets? Idiots and people that generally make stupid posts and threads would have a statistic like: 56% Dumb, meaning that 56% of the users rate dumb that person, and people that generally are right and make intelligent posts get a high statistic for agrees, for example. Of course, the option to vote for ratings would have to be removed unless you are signed in to prevent abuses, or not count for the statistic if you arent logged in when rating someone. Also, you will get title for ratings you usualy get. "The Right Guy", "The Dumb Guy". No doubt I would get the "Bad Speller Title". Overall, it would make Facepunch users known for how the behave when posting or what people think of them. Let me know what you think : )

Something like this was done a while back but it was taken away because ratings whoring was through the roof.

we used to have these didn't work

Had something like this before, only encouraged rating whores.

Wasn't worth it last time.

There was something very similar and better to this in 08. How I do miss the old facepunch

They had a thing like this back in 2007, on your profile it show ever rating you ever got, and the rating you got the most in your first 2 weeks would be put next to you name. Like it would say "(insert user) is dumb" or a bad speller, or funny, or artistic, or friendly, or a good LUA coder. already done. It was removed I think because people would try to ask for good ratings, it turned into a almost currency, also it was also real discriminative like user join dates.

We had this before. Just before it got removed my funny-to-post ratio was 1:1, I had some odd 3,500. All gone :ohdear:

[QUOTE=tasty-man;17502959]There was something very similar and better to this in 08. How I do miss the old facepunch[/QUOTE] new ones better. More of a democracy, before to be honest FP was like a communistic forum, can't really fall out of line. its more relaxed now, but no room for trolling through. Moderators are a god send in a thread instead of hell like it use to be. No offense to moderators, but back a couple of years bans where more common.

We used to have this back before '09 and the rating displayed next to your name before '08. It was pretty cool, sure, people moaned about it, but it encouraged people to make good threads, even if they were to hoard funnies or something.

Tried, and found to do more harm than good. Let's not bring it back.

[QUOTE=ScoutKing;17502998] No offense to moderators, but back a couple of years bans where more common.[/QUOTE] Well they should be more common. Ah, the days where someone could be banned for being dumb...

It became discriminative like join dates, it was bad, and the same thing happened for smartness. People should be able to find out who a person is NOT by ratings. I think garry made a good call with the forum changes. [editline]11:40PM[/editline] [QUOTE=GaynericMonk;17503011]Well they should be more common.

No one likes being banned because they didnt capitalize one letter in there thread tittle.

[QUOTE=GaynericMonk;17503011]Well they should be more common. Ah, the days where someone could be banned for being dumb...[/QUOTE] I still see the dumb ban all the time, just gotta keep an eye out. Talk to some of the regulars in the Refugee Camp they'll be happy to agree.

I miss the 05 facepunch: ban words would make all these memes to disappear, spelling check would stop "u", mods were more strict too.
