SoulMonster Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 So... since this place allows unlimited alt accounts, isn't it theoretically possible that someone could use their army of alt accounts to artificially create gold star posts? With "allows unlimited alt accounts" you probably mean "can't prevent alt accounts" and haven't you then answered your own question? No actually, I meant "allows." It says in the Terms of Service that you're allowed to have multiple alt accounts. You are right. I am surprised. Quote
RussTCB Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Personally I have never understood the point in having several accounts outside of things like you're bringing up here. Quote
Damn_Smooth Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 If a loser creates alternate accounts to give themselves likes, they can have them. Life obviously isn't too fulfilling for them if they're wasting time doing that anyway.PS. After the wave of support and concern that everyone showed after my last post, I figured that I should update you guys with the fact that I'm no longer hungry. Crisis averted. Quote
Tater Totts Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Have to say I'm not a fan of the star thing. It's becoming ridiculous.I have no problems with posts being highlights but surely there is a better way to do it than with a big gold star? Quote
saber_ Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Personally I have never understood the point in having several accounts outside of things like you're bringing up here.When Freddie Mercury's Ghost got banned, he was allowed back because he was using an alt account. They knew it was him, but because it was a different account, that seemed to make it okay. That has been applied to others as well. So you see, there's several reasons to keep a few alt accounts in yer back pocket. But we digress. I wanna find one of these gold star posts. I haven't seen one yet. Quote

magisme Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) I think "likes" should be zero sum. We all get a certain amount to begin with, and when we "like" someone's post, that poster gets one more "like," and of course we lose one. That way, if you run out of likes, you're either a "like" slut or a shit poster, in which case clean it the fuck up. Edited October 13, 2013 by magisme 1 Quote
izzygirl Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 ^I didn't understand what he said but I 100% agree. (I wanted to like the post but I'm poor). Quote
highvoltage Posted October 13, 2013 Author Posted October 13, 2013 So posts that get more than 5 likes gets a Gold Star with the word POPULAR. geezI will definitely be changing the gold star graphic to something subtle like how I changed the like button to a +1 last time. The gold star is ridiculous. Can I be honest? I ticked the "enable" box for popular post highlighting without realising that it stuck that there. EDIT: The only other change being considered is enabling a couple of negative rep points per day for Supporters... but that's it. Quote
Dariablue Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 For the love of god please no negative rep points. Christ wtf. Quote
highvoltage Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 -1 for you Daria.Goddammit, I broke my +1 button. Quote
luciusfunk Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 The like button is missing from mobile. Quote
bacardimayne Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 I personally hate the new look. I like the rest though. Quote
highvoltage Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 The "new look" is not intentional. I'll be returning it to the old look ASAP. Quote

Brilliant thinking Sunny!!! 1 Quote
magisme Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Seriously? If you don't like a post, you should have the balls to make a post of your own in response. Rep points should be just about avoiding +1 posts. 1 Quote
