z2go Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Hey mods, I have an idea, just throwing it out there... what if there was a button we could click for a thread to nominate it to go to the tool shed? I'm not sure if the site will let you do it... but I'm thinking of something similar to what Craigslist does. I hesitate to use the Report button, and I know you guys are too busy to really catch every useless post out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z2go Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 Theres a report button at the bottom, that's as close as I think we can get. The report button, as far as I see it, should be used more for objectionable content and unruly members... not meaningless, lame threads. Unless the mods have a different take.

cockerstar Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) Being able to "vote up" ain't cutting it for ya? But we only get one positive and one negative vote each day! There are far too many good posts to like I was really just seconding the motion of a "nominate/flag" option. It also has a downside though. I could see it going overboard and sending an excessive amount of threads to the shed. Edited January 27, 2011 by cockerstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 HybridZ is not a popularity contest. We're a dictatorship - a self-perpetuating autocracy weilding supreme executive power because a watery tart threw a sword at us. We are empererors because a moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at us.

LanceVance Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Leon, no Monty references slipping by you! I think I would like my member title to be "There are some who call me... Tim?"

Administrators BRAAP Posted January 28, 2011 Administrators Share Posted January 28, 2011 I only have been able to use one vote since I signed up. Or do I have to be a donating member? One of many bug in this forum software. The Vote is supposed to be once per day but once you vote, that's it, wont let you vote again at all, even for staff. On the list of bugs, this one is towards the bottom, probably wont get resolved for some time if at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getoffmyinternet Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Yeah no popularity contests here, well except for the "reputation" feature... Voting on an individual post might muddy the forums, but voting on a thread as a whole for its value might be useful in bringing relevant knowledge to the top of searches etc., although in that case new content would have to struggle to compete with old stickies. The mods are pretty good about sending the bs to the tool shed though, so I say it's fine as is. That said, I still wish we could create threads directly in the tool shed and save the mods some trouble, also being able to post derogatory satire on threads already sent to the tool shed would be nice, some of them are just hilarious.

stravi757 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Maybe there should be a feature to vote someone as "retarded poster of the day", or something of that sort. Then they would be labeled for everyone to see as an incompetent noob who didn't search before asking a question like, "whats the fuel pressure at idle on a stock l28e". It would be like having to wear the dunce cap . I know I would definitively think twice before posting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
