ken, I meant that I can't work with YaBB because I have no edit or other function. And I hope for Gob that YaBB works a bit better with this then html. Just look at the source of this page

It's actually a bunch of php/mysql scripting, you shouldn't be looking at this page's source code but at the files needed to produce this board. Gobalopper is very good at modding for YaBB SE as he's part of the mod team and made all the mods installed on this board himself. (except the colapsable catagories mod)

ya i wish there was more room in the sig also cause of the sig i want in it but first i have to upload it to a server. hey yo gob, is there any way you can do that

well gob, can you ???

"make it so that it is impossible for anyone on the Block List of the original poster to post in the threads of the original poster"

So if you blocked a mod, the mod wouldn't be able to post in the topic you created?

If someone blocked someone else out of pettiness, but made a topic which was rather popular, they would still not be able to post in it?

Do remember that no-one 'owns' a topic; the only place in which ownership even remotely is valid is in Fanfic

What this site needs is a ranking system which ranks people according to how useful they are

eg:

No Star:Navaros (not Lowzeewee though)

Half star :Lowzeewee

One Star:Members when they first join

and from then on according to how useful they are up to five stars

I would say i would be ranked about three and a half stars with Gob, Mahdi, Nema and Timenn on five stars

Dante · June 15, 2003

That might not go down too well... ;)

Besides, it's a matter of opinion and as we all know very well, opinions differ.

Dunenewt · June 15, 2003

Well its Gobs site and therefore Gobs opinion

Also i think it would bring up the standards of posts

Is it possible to add the number of hidden users in the who's online page? (not necessary to show what there looking at)

Thanks for saying that I am between nav and "average" members. :O

I think that's rather discriminating and how will that be done for a thousand members or more? :O

Ice_Cube · June 16, 2003

lol. Surely the guys at technical support would be the most helpful though? (although gob being on 5 stars goes without saying).

lowzeewee · June 16, 2003

I think its not fair to START me off with 1/10 of the maximum I can get... >:(

Ice_Cube · June 16, 2003

If this idea was going to come into effect you may as well use the karma mod. this would just not work though as Nav would give everyone a negative and Nav would have so many negatives there would be no room left on the screen.

lowzeewee · June 16, 2003

By voting u say?

that was uncalled for. i dissagree with that. why would you post that. i have not seen any thing that would make you say that.

Ice_Cube · June 16, 2003

you haven't been here long have you 6dragoon9? No offense to lowzeewee cause he is okay, but a while back he spammed this forum up good! I think it was sort of a joke anyways. (I thought it was quite funny, especially the nav part).

drahgoon · June 16, 2003

well i didnt

Dunenewt · June 16, 2003

The Lowzeewee thing was uncalled for. On my rankings he would really be around 2-2.5

lowzeewee · June 17, 2003

But it would be unfair to use votes as some people might give 5 whereas others give 0 and stuff like that if they are involved in a flame war with each other,hate him or just for fun. >:(

I say just vote Good,Normal or Bad and the percentage of Good will be taken out of the total....how's that? :)

Ice_Cube · June 17, 2003

lowzeewee, the karma mod works so you give 1 point in the negative or positive (or don't vote at all) for each member and you cant constantly vote. This would end up with somene hving this beside their name:

+34/-7

ken124578 · June 17, 2003

You can put a time limit, like you can only vote for a person in a month/week, 63 minutes, 89 days etc.

Dunenewt · June 17, 2003

Sounds good to me so when can we put this on

drahgoon · June 17, 2003

ya. i agree.

Dunenewt · June 17, 2003

The only two people i would give negative votes for would be Navaros and Gunwounds

AWACS · June 17, 2003

Karma works very well. For instance, it goes down well on the Yabbse support board. :D

Navaros · June 18, 2003

the old ranking system was just fine, except for a few people. most people should be ranked by post counts exactly as they were in the old system, but certain guys who have ludicrously high posts counts due to nothing other than incessant spamming - perfect example = loweezee - those guys should have their posts counts manually adjusted.

it's a shame that the whole ranking system was scrapped simply because a few bad apples (everyone who won the Most Heinous Spammer Award in the last Fed2K Awards) have a BS post count/ranking due to spam. the best solution would be to deal the spammers individually instead of making the whole site suffer, as has happened with the current decision.

the answer is simple: manually switch the posts count of guys like loweezee to -2000 Posts every 4 months. then everything would be in balance again.
