Guest Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 What does Supernovy do. I don't see him that much everywhere. Is he one of those quiet moderators? (of course I don't want to edge into his lifestyle so a no comment is ok) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernovy Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I hardly post at all, especially not in the "Ask the Mods questions about the Forums" thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealKerbal3x Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Are the 'rep powers' I've read about near the beginning of this thread still a thing in the current forum software, or were they removed when it transitioned to Invision? For example, if a new member with 1 rep and me with 4k rep both liked the same post, would the poster get more rep from me liking their post? Just curious.

We encourage people to like posts, as it shows the poster that people appreciated their contribution, everybody enjoys a little recognition. Heck, even on my stupid little "Thread has been moved to xyz" posts, I still get a little smile from getting a like. Any other system that weights the users like count to counting more than others would just lead to various forms of e-peen contests. Certain cliques could end up running the show here, and that's not what we're after. Our entire forum ethos, and it's rules, can be simplified down to "Just be nice to each other". Any system other than one person's like counts the same as everybody else's only leads to issues that go against that simple ethos. For the same reasons, we only have a like reaction, no dislikes or laughs or anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like self-perpetuating nonsense to me, right up there with "trending" posts on social media only trending because people were told they were trending and therefore clicked on them. I'd rather the rep system just not exist over something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deddly Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I can confirm that years ago, users with higher "reputation" would give more reputation points each time. It doesn't work that way anymore though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't like that a lot, or maybe I'm just used to red. Green just doesn't fit on a blue background in my eyes. Might it be possible to look into that? I haven't seen that happen to me. @Vanamonde, who is the truly lead mod, you or @Supernovy?? You have the same title, but there can only be one.

RoninFrog Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Underneath the profile picture, there is a little thing saying what someone does on the forums, such as "KSP Team" or "Moderator". But why is "Members" plural and "Moderator" is singular? It seems like it would make more sense to say "Member" instead of "Members".

The Minmus Derp Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I have a question, regarding the rep system. Is it possible to have something analogous to the Love reaction on facebook? Maybe have it count for, say, 5 likes for the person who got it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Internet e-peen points systems are ridiculous. A simple "I agree" or "Useful post" button avoids the usual "+1" or "^^" reply for sure, but anything beyond that is totally superfluous.

Mikenike Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 My good buddy @Gargamel is honestly one of my favorite mods, up there with Adsii and Dman, and of course, the great Vanamonde. I don't want to put them in any order, they are all great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
