Ok i'm sorry if this has been already suggested..
But what about a Groan System.
This system is the exact opposite of the Thanks System.
And it will simply -1 From their Thanks.
They could maybe have their own Negative Thanks Aswell
Or maybe Change the Thanks system into a Reputation system.
So that People Can have Negative Reputations..
And the Thanks will go as a + 1 Rep..
Just shooting ideas,
What do you think about it?
Reputation system always gets exploited and simply becomes a popularity contest, and this system will also be misused to simply take away from peoples 'Thanks' count.
How about having a separate column for groans? Like, instead of deducting from your thanks, you just get += 1 groans.Originally Posted by Rishwin
You get 'Thanked' for making good posts/threads/contributions.
What is the point of a 'Groan' exactly? To count how many shitty posts/threads/contributions you've made? That sounds pretty stupid doesn't it? People will simply 'Groan' you for no reason at all, which will put it in the exact same situation as the reputation system.
There is absolutely no tangible use for it.
Well if this goes in probably alot of people will de-fame you...
He's right joe... So he wouldn't be "defamed"... wait... I thought it was "groaned"? o_0
Yep because it makes so much sense to "dislike" someone who makes sense. D'oh.
Same as above...
No Thanks.
It will just be who can get the highest rep...
and they will just dislike -rep for nothing ;)
So they will be highest.
You should only be able to give so many groans per day, or, use the seperate column for them like it says above. On another note, the thanks system is already a popularity system like on my HACKED account which was hacked by Adde has like 55 thanks' on it.
I actually gotta disagree a bit with this though. It's not a popularity thing. I didn't get the thanks I have from people liking me. I got it from helping people. And you can't put a limitation on a "bad" system if there's no limitation on the "good" system.
If you don't like the release or person, simply just don't thank them. No need for groans especially if it shows who groaned.
AFAIK the 'Thanks' system does have a built-in cap of 5 'Thanks' per person per day.
Also, it all comes down to human nature. Would a random person give you a 'Thanks' out of the blue for doing absolutely nothing? Probably not. On the other hand, would they 'Groan' you or give you a negative reputation just for the hell of it? Most probably. We've seen it first hand when the reputation system was implemented; people would just go around and give every single person they saw a negative reputation, just for fun.
I'm not sure if it's actually capped or not.. never gave that much (to be expected in the Maplestory section.. not much content worth thanking) in a day. If it is though, you could easily do the same for the Groan system, amiright? So if a troll wanted to "groan", they'd be limited.
That's true but anyone who posts in the maplestory section gets like 10 thanks for saying someone's server sucks, I personally like this idea and think it should be on a different column. It's the same as the thanks system, people will thank you for no reason whatsoever. (I do it sometimes too)
These kinds of systems should only be allowed in server development sections, imo.
