QL Point System Overhaul?

painther
By painther

A suggestion for QL-Admn on point system:
There must be 03 tier of Points (against current 02 types)
1. For Q&A-keep 03 points for the Answers but minus 01 for irrelevent ones
2. For Forums-
a. Creating topic : 05 points for self creating a topics (it takes time & energy to conceive a write up unlike routine Copy-Paste of online news papers which is the case normally); 01 for copy-paste and/or one liners
b. Posting : 01 point for a post relevent to the topic/thread; -1 point for irrelevent posts & -5 for posts violating QL guidelines
3. For Banning someone :
a. First violation : impose -100 points
b. Second violation: impose -500 points
c. Third violation : impose -1000 points
d. Next violation : BAN

It’ll give good impression on a QLers positive contribution towards site. It’Il be funny to see many QLers enjoying thousands of points end up being bankrupt (QL point wise) :)-

Ok When I first joined QL was a much friendly place. You could add buddy to your list and even see which one of your buddies was online.

But the ongoing revamping of QL has made it lest attractive!

happygolucky

Painther...helpful and unbaised and QL!!!! ROFL...you should be from Kansas for that...:)

By happygolucky• 5 May 2011 09:41
happygolucky

hehehe...that thread seems to have got created by Mod itself (the ID is 7 min old) with the knowledge of a few who are on that thread too but would always say they like intelligent discussions and also frown on the no. of threads posted by other QLers....:)

By painther• 5 May 2011 09:38
painther

Happy , fine but how does that matter to me who's mod on job......i'm law abiding person and do't afraid who's the police

police is supposed to be helpful and unbiased!

By Rizks• 5 May 2011 09:36
Rizks

so its all coz of My head for being the center of this Point ! :(

By painther• 5 May 2011 09:35
painther

Thanks WK, i was naive..not now..

here onwards...my tag line will be 'Rizk is bald and it shines like sun' (sorry rizk for copy right issues; we’ll settle it later, lol)

khattak, right..but that makes a pleasanr thursday not so pleasant :(

Its nice when the mods are hiding behind the cloak of being mysteriously unknown yet they post in threads like any other user, and go about deleting things they personally dont like.

The OBL topics will keep coming up just like the visa questions, i dont see them deleting those.

By happygolucky• 5 May 2011 09:33
happygolucky

Agree "doesnt matter" seems to be the reason for that OBL thread of yours go down...how come you say he doesnt matter...:))) BTW you (painther) must know who is moderator now..

By KHATTAK• 5 May 2011 09:32
KHATTAK

Yeah, MBK....hence, my signature line.

By Milky_BarKid• 5 May 2011 09:31

Before answering a question used to get you 5 points that why DaRuDe is far ahead of us. I think just scrap the whole bloody thing of points! Because they are just pointless, dont mean a thing!

By painther• 5 May 2011 09:29
painther

WK, that's right but I'm not a threat to Mods in any case....rather I add a few postings, few more posts, some more traffic....some more riyals.......

By KHATTAK• 5 May 2011 09:29
KHATTAK

okie...so that was the OBL thread?

See painther, you came up with a positive thought...thats why it got deleted. QL only encourages hate threads...some of 'such' OBL threads are still alive & kicking :P

By anonymous• 5 May 2011 09:28
anonymous

Painther start a new thread saying Rizks is bald or post that Rizks is bald in every thread. It won't be deleted.

Deespite being repeated a million times till day on QL, Mods love the fact that every thread ends with Rizks being bald.

Oh by the way Rizks you are bald :P

By painther• 5 May 2011 09:28

khattak this--

"my take on OBL"--- i thought I'm talking about sanity amongst insane fighting on OBL...but........

By painther• 5 May 2011 09:26
painther

b2d

policing??? why me??? am I Mod??? Can't you read it's just a suggestion!!!

or suggesting itself brings a BAN??? or delete of a thread??? (per QL guidelines, no it's not a violation)

By anonymous• 5 May 2011 09:26
anonymous

Your thread said OBL doesn't matter so it was deleted.

OBL has few friends among the moderators. They think he does matter :(

By KHATTAK• 5 May 2011 09:26
KHATTAK

Which one down, painther?

By osamabawab• 5 May 2011 09:25
osamabawab

in this case there must be more than 100 employees just to read all the replies and decide whether it is relevant or not.

in my opinion the current system is fine but the only addition required is "LIKE" for the forums and the replies same as the answers

By painther• 5 May 2011 09:24
painther

I came after a week, created a few threads (no copy paste) and one already down......sanity vanished from QL?? or I'm changed....??

By smoke• 5 May 2011 09:23
smoke

we should get 5 points for every time we comment. It makes any thread go up in smoke!

By Rizks• 5 May 2011 09:21
Rizks

LoL Smoke !

(i got one point for lol'ng)...:(

By smoke• 5 May 2011 09:21
smoke

The only thing it means is to show everyone how many posts you've got on QL. The funny thing is QL has never given ANYTHING to its contributors yet we are still here.

I agree with Steve.....for the success of the new proposed system, the points have to mean 'something atleast' :P

By smoke• 5 May 2011 09:17
smoke

What is this like the freaking traffic violations? The points dont matter. A Responsible posted will stick to the guidelines no matter what. Trolls will remain trolls.

Lets worry about something more important. Like the OBL conspiracy :P

By baldrick2dogs• 5 May 2011 09:13
baldrick2dogs

So, are you going to police it?

By Steve1• 5 May 2011 09:07
Steve1

Yep, seems like a good system, but surely the points have to mean something? perhaps some of the advertisers could be persuaded to give some freebies every twelve months.
