Robnhood Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 It would be a nice feature to rate a post. For example, 1 stars 2 stars 3 stars etc This would be 3-5 small icons visible when reading a post. Clicking on the stars would show the post as 1,2,3 or whatever stars meaning that it was helpful, insightful, or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonawojo Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I would like to see this as an optional feature. It would be useful to those who have FAQ's or databases in their forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleSHOT Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I remember seeing a modification for this somewhere before, and have been thinking about making a modification. If anyone is interested in this actually being done as a mod, I'm sure I can set aside some time to do a modification... I've seen alot of people that are integrating their review/faq/tutorials into forum software, and invision is just the best to do it in due to the unlimited subforums availability and other great features... Let me know =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyatic Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I like this feature as it allows for self-moderation. As a matter of fact... I would like to open this idea to run like Slashdot... and I'll explain, because the system is so cool... Let's say you have 5 moderators on your site. They will rate the posts in stars (in Slashdot they use Funny, Informative, etc for ratings, not stars but I think stars work better for most sites). So they rate a post 4 stars. Then your members can 'meta' moderate that, and just approve or disapprove of their ratings. The moderator's rating is weighted higher, and the meta moderators get weighted lower for the overall rating, so it's always taken into account. The more that members 'meta' moderate, the more 'points' they can build up. At say, 100 points, they can do full moderation on a topic, giving it the initial rating, where meta moderators can only agree with or disagree with the rating. It promotes lively discussion, keeps good topics on track and helps to clean out the junk from other topics, and also using the 'points' system, encourages users to get involved and self-moderate the other members' posts. And obviously, that could be done in stages... so you don't have to have a meta moderation for a small site, just a simple rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper-Tech Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I notice in the IPB 2.0.1 install there are the images rate1.gif to rate5.gif.. has this been added? If so, how does one use the system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 This is just strictly a guess.. But it could be a pre-install for the gallery. *shrugs* Because there is no user-rating system that I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krocheck Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I would say that ranking topics, not individual posts would be more useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Both would be a bloat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
