An idea for identifying credible posters

[silverbear]

Is that when I braided your hair and we crank-called some cute boys? Ah, golden memories.

Ok, I'm startin' to get weirded out here...

And I honestly thought that wasn't possible... Hos, have you got any Nyquil you can spare??

One SURE way to identify credible posters in here:

None of them has posted to this thread...

I love how even got "Credible Posters" on this forum to make a bunch of pee pee jokes. Suckers.

The software system we use has a user reputation system and we have weighed the pros and cons of using it or not.

Can I vote against myself?

Can I vote against myself?

Yes...

But you're the only one who can vote against himself...

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Yes...

But you're the only one who can vote against himself...

...but never herself.

I see so many threads here turn into personal pissing matches and become just trash talking. One recently departed poster (I won't mention Phillo Beddoe by name) shot himself ion the foot everytime he posted and then argued when folks pointed that out.

I was wondering if we could have a poster scoring system. Not just so and so has 5000 posts, so he must know what he is talking about (Nors, where are you?), but some kind of system where if the Mods or other posters feel soemone has made a good point, they get a gold star or soemthing.

This would help identify the knowledgeable posters from the, maybe, less informed posters. Several folks are real good about searching for relevant stas and quotes, so they would be IMHo credible. But they do have to put in a lot of work. WoodysGirl comes to mind. She will trash you with facts and quotes. But some on this board still feel compelled to question her.

Anyway, I am starting to opine more than normal so I will quite. Anyone think this os a good idea or am I just TheProfit on this?

I think you already have a gold star for suggesting this. Mods, a gold star over here, please!

I located my savior.

Predictably, he was in the grilled cheese.

Also, my hat is funny....because it's bigger than a normal-sized hat. It's funny. It's an oversized hat.

Or that guy with megadeath. I predict a gold star in your future, punk.

I mod a forum that has something like this in place. If you make good posts etc users are able to "give rep" You have to have 100 posts tyo be able to give rep also. Now every time you get 100 points you get another star under your name, so someone with lots of stars means they know whats going on. Works great. You are also able to give "negative rep" for useless posts

As the Draft approaches...It's very simple.

Those who want the Cowboys to Draft Ginn at 22 are Credible.

Everyone else...Not credible.

So you are not credible either?

 

[DallasEast]

You have to have 100 posts tyo be able to give rep also.

Does that mean that, for instance, if Nors were allowed to rejoin the forum at 8 am, he would qualify to 'give rep' by 9 am?

 

[silverbear]

So you are not credible either?

And neither are you...

FWIW, they call that self-deprecating humor...

This thread reminds me of something.

You know, the ***** had pieces of flair that they made the Jews wear.

 

[L-O-Jete]

The hat has always bothered me and the goat thing just makes me plain nervous.

Why? Are you a goat?

:laugh2:

The real question is how do you get head trauma with that hat? Or do you not like being digged by chicks?
I feel like that tank top dude... fresh.

We could create the "Logical Zone" where everything has to be logical and no opinions, feelings, thoughts would be acceptable.

Then we could create the "Illogical Zone" where you can rash and unreasonable.

I know where most of my time would be spent.

I don't want to see this place turn to Elite.

There could be a forum for credible posters only. Have to have a certain score to even enter.

As far as the ****'s and making the Jews were the star . . . .get real.

Nothing like that is going to work!

The best thing to do for the problem that you have is to just use the "ignore" feature?

Find the posters that you like to read, and ignore the rest!

For example, from my experience, at first I did not like reading bbgun's posts or iceberg's posts, and some others, but, when I finally got an open mind I can sort of understand where they are coming from!

Another alternative...start your own website...then you can allow anyone that meets your need join in...
