Anandtech needs to have some sort of point rewarding system

[Hav0k99]

I just though about this when someone helped me try to find a song that I heard in a movie.

Kinda like the user rating system we used to have was abused.

What about some sort of Rep?
I dont think it would work on anandtech though.

i could be mistaken, but didn't anandtech used to have a rating system, where you could rate other users?

how about we start a point system, rather than a post count system...

that way, we can aware other members points for quality posts. that would cut down on neffing to up post counts too

Sadly the maturity level doesn't actually support that sort of system. I can give you an iron-clad guarantee that the system would be sufficiently abused to the point of rendering it worthless.

I hate the forums that have those "reputation" point system... all these idiots farm point for posting silly humors, sexy-almost-nude girl pics, forming group to give points to each other.. just plain dumb...
just like other have said.. if you want to reward the person who helped you.. paypal it jigga...

Youn remember correctly, we did have a rating system.

It didn't work and was dumped some time ago.

Isn't that what the cookie icon is for?

For such a system to work, point awarding would have to be peer-reviewed by some "reputable", volunteer members, who woud check the reason given and the corresponding thread link. That could work, because people would not simply press a button, and abusers would be caught pretty quickly. Let's start a poll.

That seems more workable, but still not perfect due to potential favoritism.

I think the current system works fine. I can always find helpful people here to answer my question.

BTW, anyone on here is always welcome to PM me for a "song" thread. I love the challeges. Wherever you heard it, movie/commercial, etc. I rock at those threads.

Elite is given to people who help often and well enough. A simple rating system is meaningless.

Amen. I also hate forums where you can rate threads/posts.

I skip over red threads on Fatwallet. It works for me.
