A suggestion to keep topics in-focus

learn.n.earn
By learn.n.earn

ok guys, i thought about it and i came up with the following suggestion:

 

the forum topic originator should have the rights to assign "points" for any relevant replies to the forum topic (no free points or very less points for each posting plus marks for relvancy).

 

he/she should also have the rights to give negative marks (minus one seems ok?) to all irrelevant replies.

 

one should have the option to filter only relevant replies (negative marked replies should be hidden and should be visible only if visitor wants to).

 

if someone is countinuously marked as negative (to some extent e.g. 5 consecutive negative responses, he/she should be further fined for some more negative points)

 

i understand that web-master for this site will have to work a lot...??

 

this is just a draft-type of suggestion and can be refined/improved with you guys/gals input.

 

any ideas?

 

 

IF YOU ARE THROUGH CHANGING, YOU ARE THROUGH.

no worries learn..some people get out of the box, when  something is worth it..sorry this isnt one of them for me...

someone should not get "personal" here just because of some disagreement.

if they have the right to be "personal", you have all the right to respond.

this is the case of violation, silly answers get thumbs down. No gaming for points.

 

Those who give silly answeres are kiddos mainly, I am lil surprised when mature ppl do it

 

I feel my words are very precious I woulnd waste them for points.

i think you better start earn to learn

because no body ever asked you for any suggestion

look at the right column and you will find Recent comment

so use that or search tab

things are to be easy for all NOT JUST ONE YOU.

Never any new member had any problem right now there are about 30000 Qlers on Site. they never had any problem so whats so special about you 

if you dont like it

then leave it as it is.

Contolling what people say in threads is like someone standing between two people chatting and trying to keep the conversation in line, in what each person should or shouldnt say. Conversations divert in any social setting even online..whats the big deal..u need to find yourself a hobby dude, if this is really what bothers you...

good night novi, alexa.- i need to sleep too but am so wide awake

You mean your original post wasn't a joke? I thought you were just taking the p*ss in a really clever way

By DohaSteve• 23 Apr 2008 23:53

It's been a problem of mine for as long as I can remember. Once, I got so far ahead of myself that I met myself coming back. It wasn't a pretty sight. Then there was the time when I got behind myself, but I was drunk that night so I could have been behind someone else entirely.

 

And nobody has answered my question about the points.

 

ANDDDDDD ........... how do you get those little sayings to pop up at the end of your post? I'm quite illiterate when it comes to complicators and their machinations.

By spicemom• 23 Apr 2008 23:52

hahahaaa...

trust me, i am not complaining... i am just trying some ideas..for a change...a better change.

 

ok, my idea might not be good...but can you suggest something for this problem (though problem might sound hard word to you)... if you read my question, i asked for better suggestion.

 

so...heads please?

Oh for goodness sake..not this again....we are not in school, its a forum..chill out...you make it sound as if gaining points means something here, i mean after you qualify for the 200 points for social group, theres isnt really an incentive to keep gaining points...your starting to sound like the QL police...

By DohaSteve• 23 Apr 2008 23:44

 ....... are there points taken off for spelling? Punkchooation? Extra marks for picking up on a double-entendre? What about nuance, slant, phrasing? I can see tears being shed. ........    and I know this question has been asked before, but what are the points for anyway? Is it simply a way of seeing who are the most prolific posters (posers?) on QL?

By learn.n.earn• 23 Apr 2008 23:42
learn.n.earn

if this has not been the case... why whould one needs refree/umpire when people are playing? why they offering red/yellow cards to those who are not playing the game in right spirit?

besides... i think that "points" could be the one reason that make people here response "irrelevant". it ould be one of the reason?

alexa... come up with something... it will be helpful for all?
