Forum feature request

I like the thanks button feature as well. Thread/post rating wouldn't work in mapcore in my opinion. I mean, look at what happens in EOT and imagine all those guys with a rating system on their hands

Yea, excellent, go on pretending that you are not one of THEM mino...

As Step already said, you can get your opinion of a post across by replying, so a seperate rating system isn't necessary. What did you learn to describe sounds with phonemical symbols for if not for getting a point across?

There are two Minotauros in mapcore: The one who posts in EOT and the one who posts outside EOT.

..the 'Thanks!' feature some forums have where you can give someone props for a good post. Kind of feels warm and fuzzy to get approval of your posts, as usually if someone likes it they just say nothing unless they have something in particular to add.

Whilst this is a nice feature, I find it's also pretty decent to be able to give a "No Thanks" to counter-balance things. I'm sure many of you here use the Chaos Engine (?) and the system is in place there. It really works nicely and there's no inherent problems. it is also not somehting that you have to use, it just exists.

I think that feature has always been largely pointless, I mean it sometimes works on things like Youtube, Moddb and Gametrailers because the traffic for comments is always high and there are so many idiots that they need people to show them how fucking stupid they are, but here... waste of time imho.

I just think a "Thanks" button would be good. You don't even need to track them on the user page (Just have it on a per-post basis and not have them count towards anything).

That way you can give a Thanks to good advice, or something funny or a way of complementing the post.

Thanks would be cool. But a ratingsystem is more like friendpolitics

Thanks button from GA works great! People actually use it, and It always stay on your profile how much "thank yous" have you received.

not sure about a rating post thingie tho. And It would probably be a bitch to impletment... We're still waiting for another theme since we're still using the default one from phpbb3, which might make MapCore look "lame" to first comers.

[Skjalg]

To me, this theme is the mapcore theme, not the default phpbb theme ;D

Yeah, to you (us), but not for newcomers.

If you add a "Thanks" button i would love a "No Thanks" button associated to say "Thanks" in eot.

More seriously, if it's implemented, only the "Thanks" button would be cool to have, because it pull things between people in the good direction, it create links between members (even if in mapcore, as a little community, you know to who you are talking to; so in the end i don't really see the point to have such a system). If you disagree with something you just have to say it and argue why; because it's really frustrating for someone to have a depreciation without justification.

You could have a button in EoT that quoted the user in question and replies with the word "cocks" and an irrelevant 1900x1200 image macro from the totally underground 4chan, possibly repeated to the image limit. I demand efficiency, Thrik.

That. Is. BRILLIANT.

We must have this.
