Forum Suggestion: Show total woots.

2019-02-25 21:23:29

Suggestion to show total woots in all posts. No, do not bring back reputation, because that was crappo. I'd just like to see how many woots people have.

I'd rather not have the forums fall into the reddit predicament where people start voicing popular opinions just because it's the easiest way to get woots, instead of just saying what they want to say.

yes but what do you do when what you want to say will get you a week long ban from diff the bad admin

Tomahawk · 2019-02-25 22:18:38

Is it good or bad (or neither?) for users to know their total received woots? Is it simply nice to know, or could it change behaviour?

Would posts be of higher or lower quality if people were motivated to get more woots, and would a simple counter cause that motivation?

@Luka - right outta here with that slippery slope fallacy.

You ask for it and maybe it works. Or you just spam untill you get a 1 week ban.

It could change behaviour, people could be bragging for having more woots but it's just like posts amount. It's just nice to know. Posts would probably be the same quality since you don't even get anything for it so I don't think most people would want it to say 1000 or whatever.

BRING BACK THE REPUTATION SYSTEM

Nebula · 2019-02-26 14:03:32

that was already done in ee forums

2019-02-26 15:36:51

It doesn't even have to be public information, I just wanna see how many woots I have. If that's just on my profile or whatever, rather than being made public, that's cool too.

TaskManager · 2019-02-26 17:35:47

finally, another way to **** on people
although i wouldnt mind if one had the ability to see their own total woots only, just for curiosity reasons

SirJosh3917 · 2019-03-16 21:06:06

Imagine chronic reposters:

Hey guys! Look at some cool graphics I made!

Please woot so I get that sweet Everybody Edits Forums karma!

In all honesty though, I think global woot counters could help with seeing how much of a troll someone is, how good topics are at a glance, and encourage people (even if with fake internet points) to post actual, quality stuff (or just really funny joke stuff; I'll take either). Still, a ton of things could go wrong including what was mentioned above. It could possibly harm the 'community' aspect of the forum (not like it's very friendly in the first place, but still).

PTU · 2019-03-17 00:55:26

Raphe, that picture made me laugh, since I recall the real owner from somewhere.

Anyway, I think this suggestion is actually nice, but I understand it as flexing feature mostly.

Raphe9000 · 2019-03-17 01:33:56

It's Kreacher's graphics.

And ya it seems like flexing, but what if the woot count was added with all the woots at 0 so everyone would start off on the same page?

Did you do this to increase your total roots amount by 2?

peace · 2019-03-17 10:57:41

it has 2 sides
1. yes its ncie to know your total woots
2. no ti snot becuas epoeple will beg for woots
to fix this you can add a rule saying you may not perposely beg for woots

Norwee · 2019-03-17 13:14:10

If i've got more woots than you, you are a lesser human being not worth my time. ?
