Added Post Ratings system

Post by Lairiodd »

The rules for the rating system are as follows:
  • Everyone starts with 10 points of rating man
  • Rating a post costs 1 point of mana
  • You can't rate yourself
  • You can't rate the same post twice
  • You can only see your own rating
  • If you rate someone they get +1 or -1 to their score
  • If people agrees with you, your score is also increased by 1 (shared)
Mana can be recovered in 2 ways
  • Increases by 5 point per day (50 max)
  • Increases by 1 point (shared) if someone agrees with you
  • Decreases if someone disagrees with you
You can vote by clicking on neg or pos on the top-left of each post. In addition, there is a mana bar showing how much mana you have left.

The rules should mean that the best strategy is to vote for posts early so that when others vote for that post you get a boost in mana and also your personal rating. However, you also need to vote the way those other people will vote or you will end up with your score/mana being decreased.

This should encourage people to rate other posts but also to try to make sure they rate them accurately. In addition, posts that are either very good or very bad should end up with lots of people rating them, this means that voting for one of those early will have a larger effect on your score.

Also, if you see a post that is rated - unfairly, if you vote +, all the people who voted - will get a penalty. So be careful unfairly applying negative ratings or you might lose some points too.

The membership list can be used to see everyone's total ratings.

At a later date we may allow people spend rating points on stuff ... haven't decided yet.

Example:

You vote positive for a post, the poster gets +1.0

I then vote positive for the same post, then:

poster gets +1.0 to score
you get +0.1 to your score as I agreed with you
you get +1.0 to your mana as I agreed with you

Finally, someone else votes negative for the post

poster gets -1.0 to score
The voter disagrees with both of us, and we share the penalty
We both get -0.1/2 to our scores
We both get -1.0/2 to our mana scores
