Title: Asshole tag
Post by: tbcoin on October 03, 2012, 03:04:53 PM
I do not understand how we got here without a asshole tag.

I'm the only one who thinks it would be useful?

Considering the effect of John Gabriel's G.I.F.T. perhaps it would be more useful to have a "not an asshole" badge.

Yeah, we also need troll-tag and FUDster tag.

A non-trivial amount of people would wear such tags like a badge of honour.

Those are very subjective terms.

Who decides what an asshole/troll/FUDster is?

If you guys really want to tag your douchebags and assholes, use RFID chips.

How about a system where you can add a caption to a user and others can see the list of captions and can choose one to copy, the most used caption is displayed, so anyone can nominate any caption and people essentially vote for the one that fits best - perhaps also a minimum amount of copies/votes needed before it is shown so people can't just put anything they want on un captioned users

Darn, I just took mine off. With the debate on, I felt the tinfoil hat was a bit more fitting.

Oh I know!  How about a "I don't troll people in the newbie section badge."  That would be cool.  Interesting to see you licking your wounds here.

Sounds like a job for a Safari/Chrome/Firefox/IE plugin!

It's bad enough that this forum is a scammer haven.  Adding options which pretty much amount to popularity contests will remove whatever illusion remains that it's a place where serious Bitcoin enterprises hang out and relegate it once and for all to the "fan site" category.  We don't need to do things which make it even more like an AOL chat-room for petulant teenagers than it already is.

How about a Post rating solution? Good posts will be rated high and not so good low. The average post rating of the user could be shown in their profiles and/or below avatars.

Not _all_ teenagers are petulant.

People will still rate based on personality and they'll rate posts they agree with "high" and those they disagree with "low", regardless of the merits of the post.  Reddit's a good example of this.  I suspect that pirate's rating would have been through the roof when he was still the darling of the Lending forum -  his supporters would have rated every post of his high, giving him a credibility which was unwarranted.

Again?

Let me reiterate that I'm available to rate as instructed in exchange for BTC.

To quote tbcoin: "hahaha the proposal acceptance has exceeded my expectatives"

Two People besides you exceeded your expectations?

Way to set that bar low right out of the gate lol.
