I want the voting system to log 2 XP for every vote, vs requiring you to vote five times before you deposit. The mod system also made the Whistle system less necessary, so we deprioritized bringing it back after the redesign but we still do plan to get it up and running, so users can help the mods and be rewarded for it. ![]() It would be nice if the mod activity rewarded / punished the users who already chipped in. Instead of fixing the voting system, we added moderators and that DID fix the shovelware problem but it also hurt the incentive to vote. Despite some great people who use it properly, the BP system has failed - anyone who used to listen to our broadcasts would know how depressed I got at the sheer amount of shovelware that passed judgment because people assumed it would be saved and wanted the points. We also need to make sure that when a moderator takes action on a submission, it retroactively removes / adds BP points for the people who previously voted on it. There is more stuff being blammed than what people see - the Blam / Save stats on the Classic Portal and Obits have been broken for a long time now and need to be fixed. Of course that change didn't result in a massive improvement in forum activity, but forums in general have been in decline across the entire web so it has been an uphill battle there. Having the levels represent the users on the forums was always good motivation to vote, but it was a turnoff to a lot of people who wanted other ways to express themselves on the site. That would be especially helpful RIGHT NOW. In the short term I want to change the judgment requirements so things can exit out with less votes. Tom, I bet with the way things are now, I could literally upload a flash of dogpoop on the road with some tweens of color changing on it and it pass. If it's a struggle to save flashes, and if people are enjoying the destruction of lower quality ones, then we may be able to get interest in it. Perhaps raising the requirement may cause some conflict in the portal. Flashes haven't been getting blammed for a while. ![]() Perhaps another idea is, I'm sorry, but the destruction of flashes is a personal thing a lot enjoy. Since User Icons being on the forum, kinda lost its glamor. Part of the motivation, for me, was knowing that my avatar would be my icon. Care if I ask what you're ticking in that time-bomb called your "mind?" Just being a movie-doer, it's kinda more of "I personally need" thing. It's on our TODO list, hopefully will make the GOTDONE list this year. ![]()
