Stray Cat Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Just an idea I had. I know we don't really want to encourage spamming and such but the current cap seems low to me. Or maybe we could add some more intermediate ranks. Quote
Zakamutt Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I wouldn't really consider what, 200? to be low, to be honest. It's either 100 or 200... That said I don't think we have much of a like farming problem, though arguably likes are given out for funnies more than "useful" posts a lot of the time. I suppose adding a 500 tier wouldn't be terrible. Quote
Flutterz Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I think the 200 cap is fine, unless you want to keep adding new ranks every 2 months when Nosebleed surpasses them. Quote
Nosebleed Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 What are the levels currently? 0 Starting out 10 Liked 30 Loved 50 FuwAdored 100 FuwAmazing 200 FuwAwesome I think that is all, not sure. I wouldn't mind more, I would like it to keep the Fuwa theme though Not like my opinion is that valid given the amount of likes I have Quote
Stray Cat Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 I think a 150/175 and 300/350 would be good, but that may just be me. Or maybe change the numbers. 30-50 isn't much of a jump. Quote
Flutterz Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 0 Starting out 10 Liked 30 Loved 50 FuwAdored 100 FuwAmazing 200 FuwAwesome I think that is all, not sure. I wouldn't mind more, I would like it to keep the Fuwa theme though Not like my opinion is that valid given the amount of likes I have FuwAmazing is 200. You've had that rank for over 900 likes and you still don't know what it's called? Quote

Nosebleed Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 FuwAmazing is 200. You've had that rank for over 900 likes and you still don't know what it's called? I didn't check and just guessed, i had 50/50 chances to get it right! I barely look at my own profile Don't go for big numbers, adding one for 300 might be best for now. Quote
Flutterz Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Fuwaspectacular? I was thinking more along the lines of FuwAstounding or FuwAuspicious (okay, that last one might be a bit of a stretch) Quote
Zakamutt Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Be original. Go for FuwAstringent. ...FuwAstounding is decent enough. Quote
Eclipsed Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 100,000 Likes for FuwApocalypse Tay, Blizzard884, Flutterz and 3 others 6 Quote
Fiddle Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 100,000 Likes for FuwApocalypse Stray Cat 1 Quote
Nosebleed Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Hold on, if we make that 666 likes, you might be onto something... Quote
Stray Cat Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 I thought it capped at 150 with Fuwamazing. I think adding a 300 is good then. Quote
Eclipsed Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Can we have like 666 and only 666 be the FuwApocalypse just for funzies like have 200-665 be FuwAmazing (or w.e names & tiers should you decide to revamp) and then have 666 be FuwApocalypse, and then 667+ switch back to FuwAmazing Quote

Nayleen Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 How about just resetting them all to 0? On a more serious note, these are a pain to add because they appear on more than one place and the forum software doesn't have a sane way of just managing them, so they need to be added manually. There's the profile page, mini profile on mouseover, member site, and at least one other thing I'm sure I've forgotten. Quote
Totodile Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 How about just resetting them all to 0? Or just erasing them altogether Quote
Jibril Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Or just erasing them altogether Or we put a "dislike this" button and create disliked ranks *evil laugh* Quote
Nayleen Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 The forum software allows for an up/downvote system, but let's not even get started why it would be a bad idea. There's a reason why we went away from that (about 1 1/2 years back already), and why even the simple "like" system might not be worth keeping after all - when we switched to that people started "trading" likes. Nowadays we're at a point where mostly fluff and "lulz" gets liked. Fiddle 1 Quote

Nowadays we're at a point where mostly fluff and "lulz" gets liked. I've stopped using the "Likes" metric altogether for any sort of meaningful engagement metric. It doesn't tell us anything anymore about the quality of somebody's posting. But I get the point that not everything has to be utilitarian. There's definitely a dopamine rush when people "like" your posts (whether or not you put much effort into them). Just my opinion here: if people are using the "Like" button in a Facebook sort of way now (as opposed to the really old days when it semi-exclusively highlighted posts with lots of effort), I'm not sure we need more of an ego boost than "FuwAmazing!" That's already a pretty complimentary title... Fiddle 1 Quote
Nayleen Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 ^ Pretty much what my intention was when posting, but I almost slipped into rant-mode (which eventually ended up going into overdrive on TS). I don't see a reason to update an almost meaningless system, especially when it's such a pain to do so because of IPB's overly restrictive/rigid templating. I might be willing to tweak the numbers a bit though, since they're so inflated nowadays. Fiddle 1 Quote

I'm not opposed with changing the numbers a little, but I'm not sure big changes are in order. We'll never be able to sufficiently honor people like Nosebleed or Ren or Batman, or Flutterz or... or... or... who, for example have >500 likes. Then again, these are just my own thoughts and I don't have really strong feelings about it. EDIT: Though, to be honest, FuwApocalypse as a rank does actually intrigue me... : P Fiddle 1 Quote
