Post Ratings?

[Mark from Brisbane]

@The Wheel wants a special " Nark" one , mostly to be awarded to me no doubt!!!

Labelling the poster (rather than the post) risks a less friendly tone. The ironstine rating labels the poster. The "troll" may be the single useful poster rating?

Also there is a tradeoff between number of icons and icon size for a given space. And we want to increase icon size without wasting space for those of us with fat fingers. So maybe rationalise some?

Maybe:
* Merge yarttastic into like
* Ironstine becomes dreaming (a bit less hostile)
* Optimistic becomes dreaming
* Merge agree into like and disagree into dislike
* Merge useful/creative into useful

Base icons then become:
Like
Dislike
Funny
Winner
Informative
Friendly
Useful
Dreaming
Dummy spit
Troll

Another thought looking at this, maybe informative & useful could be merged.

Good points I think there are a few we can lose there especially informative and useful and disagree etc

Although I do like the informative rating more than the useful one. Informative is useful for postings like your one about lack of complaints about size. Or for more traditional informative situations.

Even though I'm an old fart who has to wear glasses I think the icons are now TOO BIG!!

@Dan im using an IPhone so maybe that's part of it, but about 30% smaller I think !!

Ironstine is a badge of honour not an insult!

Yeah that's what I thought too!!

 

[Chip and Chase]

LOL, someone listed that as informative!! Taking notes on @Dan 's blade @Chip and Chase ?

Just helping him out by testing the new buttons. I thought "Like" or "Agree" may have been a bit inappropriate for that post though, so opted for "Informative". If there was a "welcome to the club button" I would have used that.

Anyway good to see you taking notes on who is taking notes on @Dan 's blade. No need to panic though mate, you'll have no competition from me, it's all yours.

I thought it was sarcastic for being a d1ckhead

I had initially back then suggested adding "thanks" for those posts that answer a specific question/request (and also give us all info), but I'm thinking "informative" and "useful" probably cover this, so I would have to seriously consider giving your post about losing these a "disagree" Dan.

You may have the stats.....but 'friendly' could probably go as well. I doubt it's used much. Yart-tastic is a bit of a toss but me thinks it's ingrained into silvertails dna. No offence to the 'r.'

I'd like a "thanks": plenty of times I would've used that one.


(even a thanks in advance...! lol)

That's how I take it !!

Maybe we need a Ironstine (genuine) and an Ironstine (sarcastic)...

It's hard to detect sarcasm with emoticons...

In fact it can be hard to detect sarcasm in any post. For example, is this post genuine or sarcastic?

To be honest, I don't even know.

 

[Mal Cochrane]

just do thumbs up and thumbs down, and allow everybody to get back on with their lives.

I always thought it was someone trying to appear smart when they are actually being pretty stupid..

 

[The Wheel]

Definitely need a Nark for @Mark from Brisbane
