New Forum Function: Forum Experience

[maxd]

... someone posts some good info on something in the middle, even if it's tagged like that you won't be able to find that post without slogging through the whole thing, right?

Right, as things currently stand. Which is why I said it would be good to be able to tag individual posts.

Actually I've been working on something that effectively does the per-post tagging but it's still in the trial stages so not ready for real time yet.

i think this thread is relavent enough for me to post here instead of starting my own.

regarding tags, i wish there was a list of tags. i created a new thread and put some tags on it and i got a message saying i'm not allowed to create new tags.

as to experience points and such, i think it would be best if the number of posts a person makes doesn't affect a person's status very much, and the quality of one's posts affects it more.

sometimes i read very long threads and come out not having learned much because many of the posts are just people saying 'yeah i agree' or arguing back and forth with the same points.

i have to have made 10 posts to be able to thank a user for a post. i could just go and find a few threads to post in without really contributing to the thread just so i can have that ability.

i really like the thank a user feature - it decreases the amount of posts in a thread that are just agreement posts and rewards people for valuable posts.

Interesting you should mention quality vs quantity, given that you just finished posting exactly 10 times in an hour to enable tagging in your posts

What's the big deal about putting tags in your posts anyway? Hardly anyone does it, so I hope you're not intending to start any stealth advertising or linking as you won't find the moderators very forgiving.

Forgive me if I have it all wrong, but its not the way the newbs usually behave.

yeah i didn't want to wait - i wanted the thank a user feature because i've wanted to use it many times after reading helpful posts on here.

and i wanted to use the tags "positive expected value" "negative house edge" "positive player edge" "+EV" on the thread i made in the online casinos subforum

I figured as much.

It's a shame you couldn't do what every other newb does (I.e.the polite thing) and just join in threads which interest you and post legitimate contributions.

I still don't get why you're desperate to tag...??

This is something that is worth considering, we all came here with 0, just like you.


Some things have been revamped and changed since I've been here, but I like the system that CM uses for the most part because the system takes into account many different factors.

Also I don't understand the big deal about tagging, most don't do it. I will occasionally when bored.

[dwype]

idk if tags are really all that useful but i got the impession that they are a good thing when i was reading all the faqs and rules on CM.

also there's the tag cloud, experience points for adding tags, and there is an achievement related to tags

Before last night, everyone's points were being computed since the first postings were being made in this forum 13 years ago. I adjusted the computations to include only activity for the past five years, then I did it again for activity made in the past two years. This gives members who are currently active a better chance to be competitive with their points. There are a lot of members who were very active for a number of years, but have since left the forum. It seems pretty lame to award members with activity points when they no longer participate.

29th December 2011
08:30 AM binshakindown has lost -59 Points for Posts points
08:30 AM binshakindown has earned 6 Points for User points
08:30 AM binshakindown has earned 1 Points for threads points

So was a new time period change made again in December, or was I just a bad poster.

How come there are no points for snipping off a sarcastic or silly response because you're never really paying attention to what the actual thread subject is?
