<div class="bbWrapper">Hmm...instead of a neg rep button, how about a little drop down menu that enables you <br /> to select a reason why you did&#039;t like that particular post? Like &quot;totally offtopic&quot;, &quot;ego jerking&quot;, &quot;nonsense&quot;, &quot;potentially dangerous&quot;, etc...<br /> <br /> The poster doesn&#039;t get notified in case of a downvote, and downvotes aren&#039;t displayed publicly like the likes.<br /> <br /> One downvote has no immediate effect on rep bank, but if you accumulate a critical number of them, <br /> you are charged a penalty and notified why.<br /> <br /> Sort of like the fastlane achievement/reward system, but backwards.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Reduce or limit the pointless or repeat threads. Maybe this can be done by flagging threads with certain words or phrases in them like &quot;should i learn how to code&quot; and refer them to the ONE post that covers that topic. One thing that I&#039;ve seen over the past few years is a dip in overall quality of posts, and it&#039;s now to the point that I don&#039;t even read most of them. I remember years ago reading every post.<br /> <br /> Create a sarcastic and degrading category called &quot;Please answer my life questions for me&quot; or &quot;Can you Google this for me?&quot; so people know to post their stupid questions in that category, while the category title alone kills over 50% of the posts due to public humiliation. <br /> <br /> Add a &quot;verified&quot; button that you earn once sufficient evidence is shown that proves you can back up your advice. It can be split into a few categories or something. Import Fastlaner, Ecommerce Fastlaner, Coding Fastlaner, etc.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Reading a lot of great suggestions already!<br /> <br /> I do not have any ground breaking ideas or suggestions (I have been thinking about it actually for a while, since I was a bit annoyed by the &quot;how do I whipe my butt&quot; - type of topics. But didn&#039;t know what WOULD attribute).<br /> <i><br /> About the insiders:</i> I truly hope for every serious persons sake out there, it will NOT be turned into a &quot;by invite from insiders&quot; or such, only. If that would be the case, I think many would never make it there and that would just be a shame. Also, I feel the insiders sections is actually really good with great topics and threads.<br /> <br /> T<i>he &quot;how do I wipe&quot; </i>- kind of topics.<br /> I understand everyone is new. Hell, I am even still a hardcore newbie on this forum. And I can&#039;t express how god darn grateful I am for having have found it. And when I just read my intro thread, I am already thinking &quot;holy shit how naieve, and how I really did NOT understand what I was talking about&quot;. (disclaimer: not claiming I understand the world now, just much I have learned in this short time span.) But give a consequence to these type.<br /> <br /> Can&#039;t we not do a kind of example test on moral rules here? I would love to help make one. Example:<br /> 1. After signing up, and mods approving your form; a short instruction. Hey you! We know you are new, but we would like you to read these few short steps carefully so we make sure the forum remains a great place with a healthy attitude. (and make it so you can not go through it before actually having have read it. And maybe even make a short quiz of it? I&#039;m just throwing it out there, cause making it to much like terms and agreements; well, lets just say we all &quot;check&quot; that box.<br /> Or maybe just a virtual tour? Either on youtube video or other different medium?<br /> &quot;Hello there newbie, how great you have found this forum! Now let&#039;s show you where you can find what&quot;<br /> <br /> Or at introduction, the &quot;where to start when you&#039;re new&quot; Golden threads.<br /> <br /> I shall ponder on this more, since I have found myself way too many times guilty of login in, seeing some bad feelings threads on the main page, sighing and log out straight away.<br /> <br /> <b>Edit:</b><br /> <br /> Post scriptum: may I add, that I have mad respect for moderators? I know we only see a tiny bit of whats going on there, but I take of my imaginary hat for you all for having to deal with it and keeping it a safe and nice environment.<br /> <br /> post post scriptum: Ignore thread function yes!</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Fire Vigilante! (KIDDING!)<br /> <br /> 1) Have a most-liked-posts widget.

<div class="bbWrapper">I like that a spammer can show their hand in their first post.<br /> <br /> Forum members do an excellent job of reporting it, and mods have a little rule of &quot;First post spam? Delete and ban!&quot;<br /> <br /> (OK, Ok, I made that one up so I&#039;d remember it. Don&#039;t expect the other mods to be skipping around singing that.)<br /> <br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> <br /> We all know the adage &quot;You can&#039;t manage what you can&#039;t measure&quot;.<br /> <br /> I think it&#039;s taken too far personally. Not everything is measurable in a number, and chasing numbers can make us forget that the number is just a proxy for something else. E.g. I want to be healthier can become an obsession with waist measurement, weight, etc.<br /> <br /> However, it&#039;s quite amazing how people&#039;s actions can be influenced by just seeing a number and how it changes based on actions taken.<br /> <br /> Just seeing the following metrics in member profiles might cause us to act differently by choice (rather than needing algorithms that reward or punish based on their values):<br /> <br /> 1) Each member&#039;s likes per post metric. Just seeing that additional metric might be enough for people to try and improve their own, and would put the deserved spotlight on people who might not post much, but are worth listening to.<br /> <br /> 2) Likewise the number of followers.<br /> <br /> 3) Number of likes given. Are you generous with your likes/thanks? Do you &quot;give thanks&quot; even though you don&#039;t post much?<br /> <br /> 4) Amount of rep given away. Vigilante gives a ridiculous amount of rep away every day. It&#039;s a tremendous example of understanding that we don&#039;t need to make money, we just need to connect with it. There&#039;s a reason it&#039;s called &quot;currency&quot; after all - it needs to flow.<br /> <br /> 5) Total rep earned? Would this make people more likely to give rep? Knowing the remaining rep is their &quot;profit&quot;?<br /> <br /> It would also be nice to see threads listed by total likes in the thread, as well as the top individual posts for likes.</div>
