Concept: The GravitonSurge system of approval!

You called Penny an asskisser.

Yeah... wtf...


And yes MasterAC is right.

lol, i was just making a point. i didnt mean it in a bad way. besides, me and penny are tight. lol. ;p

Quit spamming up this forum/flaming in it.

I think this is sort of like the points system, maybe some way we can incorporate that. It is truly just a conjecture, hopefully if Chruser approves, we can finalize very soon and get this running good. And would the council have a seperate forum to themselves?

Hopefully. That would be great, but only if there is much deliberation to be had.

Finally! Penny and I get mentioned as part of the veteran/smarter members.

But.. yeah, I'd be interested in this council. I miss being a news poster and if I make this council I can fill that void. [/end pathetic story]

I'm game.

Again, the bias will likely be obvious if a regular member decides to attack a council member in any way. If council member X gets thoroughly flamed by board member Y, chances are that X will hate Y and say bad things about Y to other council members, which in turn leads to Y getting a "bad rating".

On the contrary, a "let everyone vote" system will likely, as previously stated, only receive input from a small circuit of members. A member who is in need to improve his score after several bad incidents could easily tell a few of his/her friends to boost his score, as "a few" people will likely dominate the direction of the user's score.

Yet another method would be to rate the user's individual posts, one by one, to grade the individual input from time to time, which would more efficiently be done by regular board members than a jury, as the jury would hardly read ALL posts on the forum, and maybe exclude those in, say, the RM2K3 forum.

And that is why if a council is used. the members must be level headed and not easly ticked off.
to vote on a member it would be wise for each of the council to look thought the last 50 or so.?. post of the member and give a rateing and then the adverage of the rates can be the final judeing the gramar, spelling , and interlectional input of the member each of which is graded and adveradged. I would rate my current post 5 on gramar 4 on spelling and 9 on input = 6 on this post, but of course this would be hard to do for 50 post so it would be an adverage of all the post that figure in the grade.

a way around the problem of bias is to ( when its obvious that a council member dislikes a reg member, to have another un-bias reg member take the spot of the bias council member in that particular vote.

ie x hates y but a b c d dont so the score is 0 7 6 8 6 = 5.4
in which the other coucil members would know that x has a grude on y and would call in an extra member to be the feith vote. which may come out as 7 7 6 8 6 = 6.8

post in the wrt and chat forum should be ignored durring judgeing beacuse members rarely post anything worth while in those areas of zelaron.

does anyone follow me or iam i just thinking it out to much?

So what you're saying is that we should just enable the reputation system?
