To be honest, for me to invest a lot of time in something outside of work, it has to be "fun", or "new and interesting." AJAX chatbox is "new and interesting." AJAX games are "new and interesting." Moderation systems are "old and boring." I will, however, try to convince myself that migrating to vB 3.7 is "new and interesting." Somehow...

Can't you at least make all rep public?

WetWired 2008-03-14 05:38 PM

Not that I know. The reputation settings are currently at their most permissive, with the exception that rep hiding is off.

Asamin 2008-03-15 06:55 PM

You wrote the code for this site. Why can't you just change it?

WetWired 2008-03-15 08:38 PM

No, the vast majority of the code was written by Jelsoft. Reputation is a feature that comes standard.

Asamin 2008-03-16 02:27 PM

And you are sure that there is no way to change it?

Who is Jelsoft?

WetWired 2008-03-16 02:34 PM

It can be changed, but it's not simple, and I'm not familiar with that code. Jelsoft is the developer of vB.

I really think Rep is fine. And people should not be allowed to disable it, that would eliminate the whole purpose of this site running with e-rep.

Another poll that was tampered with?

D3V 2008-03-17 07:55 AM

Yes I'm assuming so as well, that's the first thing I noticed that the 11 think that. What a crock of shit, We can't even trust the mods around here to be legitimate, that or guests are "posting" these, which could just be some of our actual members logged out, which would probably be the case.

I'm sorry, run that by me again...

Mods cannot edit polls. Mods have not been able to edit polls for a very long time. It has been brought up before now that mods cannot edit polls.

Admins can, but admins are a different story altogether.

D3V 2008-03-17 10:46 AM

I thought they could skew the results.

Lenny 2008-03-17 10:51 AM

Nope. We can't even add a poll to a thread without making a new one and then merging the two.

I can't remember the reason WW gave for taking the ability to edit polls aay from Mods, but he did.

D3V 2008-03-17 11:00 AM

Oh I see, I guess I was misinformed, or misread. But what about guests voting? Wouldn't that skew the results, and can you see who voted for what? ..

Lenny 2008-03-17 11:04 AM

WW fixed the problem of guests voting yesterday, I believe. He deleted their votes from Grav's shower poll, and will probably get round to deleting them from this one, if indeed guests have skewed the results.

Thanatos 2008-03-17 11:07 AM

Last I saw there were 3 people that voted "Yes, let people disable it for themselves" - now there's 8 more people that voted for that option in 1 day? Find it hard to believe...

D3V 2008-03-17 11:12 AM

That's how I see it, and this being a somewhat sensitive subject for some, atleast make the polls represent what everyone thinks, not what one douchebag wants to persuade. This is like a lobbyist in action, somebody with power over others pushing what they want when in reality nobody in the public eye wants this.

WetWired 2008-03-17 11:21 AM

I knew that there were guest votes, but I didn't bother to remove them because I use the admin "who voted" for this kind of poll anyways, since that way I can filter inactive members.

D3V 2008-03-17 12:09 PM

Okay, back down to 4. That looks more reasonable, and the tally is in. Now close this thread, and start arguing on how we can make the sytem better, and implent new things into Zelaron to make the webstie as a whole better.

Grav 2008-03-17 12:17 PM

Well according to the poll, not including those who abstained, the poll is split evenly in half between those who think it is okay and those who think it should be changed.

D3V 2008-03-17 12:40 PM

Draw = it stays the same.
