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!

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...

OK_Cat · « **Reply #30 on:** July 11, 2013, 03:22:40 PM »

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.

wow, perfect example of using the new color grid to put a brown in his place, 42yellow.

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.

Someone take this and put together a rough draft of all the posters and plot this thing out.

You don't grow a datura by trampling it. You love it, give it sun and timely water and nourishment, and only then will she open her beautiful petals to you.

implement a "like" system like tmb and when you get enough thumbs up aimed your way you move up a color

What about those posters who are colorblind? Colors in text only?

purple should be the best poster, titletown

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
its gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright) sunshinin' day

Hey I just ran into a bunch of greens and they were making fun of me.

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.

CNS · « **Reply #49 on:** July 11, 2013, 04:17:46 PM »

Know what you get when you put a bunch of red together?

I don't either but I bet the posts suck!
