it's called "ranking posters by colors". colors, you say? yep colors. colors. kuh, kuh, kuh, colors. so anyway my thought is that there are just too darn many of us and i don't have the ability to keep everyone straight? ksc changes his name like the wind blows and is it ben ji or benja with the fishing addiction because i just don't know.
so anyway, mods are currently blue and chings, saul, winters are red because they are admins. that makes everyone else one color. colors. colors. kuh, kuh, kuh, colors. now i'm not a nightmare walking or a psychopath talking, but i think we should assign colors (kuh, kuh, kuh, colors) based on how good or bad of a poster you are. the best get the brights colors and the worst the darkest. or we flip flop it because this thing is still fluid and nothing is set in stone yet.
example- dlew (great poster)-yellow. eastcat (bad poster)-brown. williewattanabe (a's and the's poster)-light green. anyway you guys get the idea.
thoughts? sounds like a winner huh, you guys?

letter grades. I'm an A+, clams is a C-, etc.
-
terrified i get a dark color, please dont do this to me :pray: :ohno:
-
would a poster have the ability to improve or decline based on current posting skills?
if so, how often would this be looked at? seems like a lot of work.
-
letter grades. I'm an A+, clams is a C-, etc.
Yes. And a discussion thread for each poster where mods debate grades.
-
Stick to nude photohunt. Leave the ideas to the grown-ups.

letter grades. I'm an A+, clams is a C-, etc.
no offense, but this is the dumbest post yet in this whole entire thread. i want something that i can scan at the top of the thread or at the bottom of the main board. i click on a thread and see a bunch of light posters in it then bam i know that i'm where the good action is. i click on something and it's all blues and blacks and i'm like eek i'm outta here. imagine getting on at like 1030 pm and it's nothing but browns? thanks but no thanks, because i'm watching conan in that scenario.
also and on second thought, yes to the whole flip flopping the colors thing on the whole not wanting this to look racist thing. best posters are now black and worst are now white. the rests stays the same though.
-
We should put an emoticon below each poster's handle to indicate bbs skill.
For example:
centraltexascat
:dance:
steve dave
:katpak:
mesackwilliams
:dubious:
timhawk

is there room in the budget to hire some interns to manage this?

why does everything think that 'clams is such a bad poster? i mean, clearly not a top 10 or even top 15 guy, but he's not THAT bad. what gives?

guys lets stick to the color discussion. see if we can get "colors" trending.

i don't know but i totally agree. solid orange. solid. or purple depending on if we are doing the whole flip flop thing.

nothing special of a poster.

"yellow?!!? yes! i knew i was pretty good at this and this gives me the encouragement that i needed to keep at it and post more!"-current stud poster that maybe didn't know it and needs encouragement to post more
-
brown has to be the worst.
-
Guys, I like green. Not super light or super dark green, but like really nice grass green.
Since we are about to start segregating everyone by KKK Kuhlor, can the system just assign me that color of green and adjust outward, upward, then Tim based on that? Seems fair. :dunno:
If not, I also like a good sky blue.
-
brown has to be the worst.
maybe just yellow to brown and we leave the whole black/white stuff out of it then. leave it to a fellow yellow to solve this conundrum. good job, sd. :thumbs:
-
Just give me the "poor to mediocre" color and I'll go on with my day

hey dick raris, who is going to be in charge of changing colors? i don't think it should be just you, because what if you go through a really shitty posting streak? checks and balances are needed, friend!

i must be pretty good i always have green next to my screen name

Stars.
Stars that can have diff colors. Too many posters with differences between them all. I mean, we can't have bright yellow cover 20 ppl. So, someone could have like 3 yellow stars and one turquoise star. or something...
-
after 3 stars, you bump up to zero stars of the next color, etc

solid idea, like the letters in mario kart when you hold down the drift button. the better you are the redder the letter
-
The board background color in a moving average of the posters posting. Top to bottom the color changes hue based on the posters that contribute. It's a gradual transition in a moving average type scheme. That way peoples' feelings don't get hurt because they aren't totally sure where they stand, but you can quickly ascertain the quality of the posters and either keep reading or quickly jump over to Wikipedia to find interesting things to read.

Someone contact Klout. I am sure they could somehow tailor what they do to be gE specific. Then we can all sign into Klout and see why our scores dropped this month and reminisce about how high it was 90 days ago.

rick daris' ideas are a lot like benjamin franklins. he has a lot of super shitty ideas that dont work and no one will ever use, but every now and then- boom. rough ridin' bifocals. changes the world.
i can see clearly now the bad posters have stupid dark colors to mark their shitty posting
i can see all obstacles in my way
gone are the dark posters that had me blind
its gonna be a bright (poster) bright (poster) bbs'n day

Hey I just ran into a bunch of greens and they were making fun of me. :don'tcare: Why don't all us reds band together and just post things that only reds like to talk about and stuff. It would be like a club that helps fellow reds improve and move up the color scale. :dunno:
-
Know what you get when you put a bunch of red together?
I don't either but I bet the posts suck!
:lol:

This chart is a good starrting point for summarizing: Purple at the top and all the other loser colors can fight for ranking underneath.

i pretty much have memorized the 7 or 8 posters' avatars that i like to read and i'll just scroll through a page until i see one of those avatars and i'll stop and read it.
but i do really like the public shaming element of Rick's idea. a lot of us have lost our edge in terms of being absolute assholes to bad posters. in doing so, we're not only letting gE.c down, but we're letting those bad posters down too. passive aggressively telling some one that everything they write on here sucks would be a really nice thing to do for everyone involved.

What about the moderators who are bad posters, coughcoughrickdariscough, do they get to pick their own color or do the other mods vote, or what? What I'm getting at, and felix rex can back me up on this, is that if the higher-ups get some sort of "free pass" or "special treatment", then we're going to have an uprising on our hands. Don't get me wrong, I love a good uprising. I just feel like, based on the timeline I've mapped out regarding this idea, that the uprising is going to happen somewhere around week 6 or 7 of football season and we're going to focus less on #life and more on #deathtothemoderators. And I think mods, browns, squawks, and just literally everyone on this board would agree that that would be a tragic thing.

Rick daris is the yellowest of the yellows. Not saying your scenario isn't likely, but that isn't the mod who would trigger it.

you know what, you disrespectful little twerp? the mods here (all of them), lay it on the line each and every day for you. every day. every. single. day.
but what if i'm on vacation and don't even log in for a week, you ask? line laying. constant 24/7. we do it every day so that you don't have to and you might want to show a little freaking respect because of it. just some food for thought. now you'll have to excuse me though because i have to get back to work (unpaid) moderating the board so punks like you will still have the freedom to post more absolute garbage like this.

Why is Mr. Bread Yellow? :sdeek:

Frankly, he is the calm detached impartiality that we need on a message board as we enter Basketball Turbulence. :cool:
I am also concerned that if we initiate a ranking system that we will give out way too many participation medals and won't be focused on quality. Maybe we should rank individual posts and then add them together BCS style.
Strength of Schedule would depend on the toughness of the thread.
I am certainly jealous of Felix Rex because I have nothing cool to talk about other than LHC Bill Snyder, and BoozeCats. FR is like Bond/McGuyver/Pikachu/ with a little bit of Clint Eastwood thrown in. :excited:
