I know I'm not exactly one of the top contributors or more active members, but I am a pretty experienced lurker.  And what I've read/heard about the most is people saying that post counts are..
- Meaningless and can be spammed.
- Does not represent quality of the poster.
- Does not represent real "veterancy" of the poster.
- Encourages some people to post nonsense.
My idea is to have some sort of veteran level system like this:
http://vilegaming.com/users.x/veterans
Obviously TL would have to use a different system/formula. And from what I can deduce, the only worthy factors for a formula would be join date, post count, and average posts per week. I'd say use weekly average and not daily because it more accurately represents the users activity. I can't really think of a good formula just yet, but it's just a general idea.
I think GG.net has some kind of system like this, too. As do a bunch of other popular sites. SCL.com hides post counts altogether and just has the typical "X posts = X rank" deal.
Anyhow, I was just thinking out loud and know my idea isn't going to happen, nor does the staff have time for it.

I don't think TL.net needs that kind of system. I think Tl.net just resorts on, KNOWING who is a veteran and who isn't by following TL.net as a whole itself. Everyone knows who's been around and who hasn't. Dunno just sounds a bit worthless to me. My 2 cents.

Yep, because "advertising" my site in a hidden forum section is the way to go.

This shows you didnt put too much thought into your post, and it's just some random blabling: the only difference between "average posts per day" and "average posts per week" is a multiplication factor of 7, that's why they are called "average".

This is almost a passive-agressive note, as you imply that this system you suggest (not like you suggest any actual system, again...) is clearly better than the current one, and the only reason it wont get implemented here is because the staff doesnt have time for it? Well: no.

So posting a link of an image hosted on Tinypic.com, or posting a link to a Digg.com article, or posting a link to a replay hosted on Repdepot.net. Those are advertising also and they should be dealt with the same way? I'm not trying to start an argument here, but clearly you are. Just back off, plzkthx.

This is an aggressive post. I never said it was better. I was just saying it could be better. And yes they're different. And I said the staff wouldn't implement it because they've said dozens of times that they have plenty of other things to work on, but it still doesn't hurt to throw out ideas.

There has been a lot of discussion about this in the past. While post count is obviously flawed, there is just no way to determine veterans and contributors that isn't equally wrong. Join date doesn't have to mean anything, neither does average post count. For every figure or system you can come up with you will find a lot of top posters and contributors on these forums that still won't be recognized as such.
The reason we are sticking with post count is that there is no better system in sight and people are so used to it.
ALERT: GERMAN
|
a) Registered 45 days, 10 posts per day/week. --> Points = 450
b) Registered 90 days, 5 posts per day/week. --> Points = 450
c) Registered 180 days, 20 posts per day/week. --> Points = 3600
d) Registered 265 days, 5 posts per day/week. --> Points = 1325
e) Registered 730, 2 posts per day/week. --> Points = 1460
User C should be the highest level. He's been the most active and not necessarily one of the oldest members.
I guess the main flaw here is that it can fluctuate. A user that was high a year ago, but stops posting for a long time, would drop down because of their average. So yea, there's the flaw.. it kinda forgets about old posters that were great back in their day. o_O
There could also be some sort of bonus factor into play. Where staff could hand out extra points to users that contribute. Or every time someone posts a thread that gets a lot of activity they would get like 100 points. The extra points of course wouldn't go away and are added on top of the registered/average values.
Complicated.

german alert is brilliant
and for the record, the current system is ok
sure for beginners just looking at the post count of someone and they'll get a fairly good sense of who is a regular around here
ofc there's those posters who are brilliant or awesome without a lot of posts, think like MDT etc,but there's the star system for that. And then the special icons for the .. everything pretty much, graphics, tlwiki, death, and so on.
then u can look at poster name color......actually it's already a pretty complicated system, you just have to know where to look. i guess if u were to condense it, you can just put "if red/bob=staff, if star/custom icon/ custom color = awesome, if posts > x, veteran, else if regular" but really whats the point?

|

TL Mods already said they have a system that they have never fully revealed. The system we have now is fine imo because its not based 100% on post count, its kind of like post count + the knowledge of the community of that person and his posts/contributions. Not like Fakesteve suddenly became nothing when his post count got reset. But the system in this thread is classic

That's a brilliant solution! But instead of points we'll call them posts, and put them next to the name, location and post date.
For instance, I've been here for 1152 days, with an average of 12.11 posts per day. That gives me about 13957 "Points", which I'll call "Posts". And then it'll say something like

I think it'd actually be cool if we added little "AWESOME!!" button for OPs, and if 100 people press it it adds 1 to a counter on the person's profile... And when that counter reaches 100 they get a pat on the back.

O Hai guys, what's going on in this thread? D:
Can I has status update too? ^^
+ Show Spoiler +Lolz, seriously, I don't think TL needs this. If you're a regular you know who makes quality posts, and who just spams borderline useless crap to get his/her post count up (me! xD). Besides I think the real meaning to veterans was there, before Starcraft 2 was announced. People who had more had like 1200+ posts before that announcement were, at least in my eyes, veterans. Now after the bombshell, the line between veterans and regulars/newcomers is getting a little blurry.

If you would direct your attention to konadora you will see that his post average per week is amazingly high and then if you do some further research you will see that a lot of his posts are "LOL" "+1" (copy past a statement) and he isnt one of the oldest members either. So yes the system is flawed but its good enough, and like someone else said we know and the mods know who the older and veteran posters are.

If you would direct your attention to yourself, GreEny K, you will see that your post average per week is relatively high and then if you do some further research you will see that a lot of your posts are bad (many misguided opinions) and you aren't one of the oldest members either.
Konadora has done many translations, a few news articles and even a final edit or two. He streams games and has made many threads for live reporting in the tourneys and leagues section. His star is well deserved. Who are you?

Konadora has done many translations, a few news articles and even a final edit or two. He streams games and has made many threads for live reporting in the tourneys and leagues section. His star is well deserved. Who are you?

Greeny K has done many great post, a few spam responses and even a +1or 2. He doesn't stream games and hasn't made any threads for live reporting in the tourneys and leagues section, which clearly explains why he doesn't have a well-deserved star. You have more posts than I do in a shorter period. Does that mean you have the authority to critique others about their posting qualms? Who are you?

Can we do some kind of "like" and "dislike" system? There are so many threads that are crappy, but then despite the commandments people post in the thread something like "0/5. This sucks." At which point, the thread floats back to the sidebar and I'm like -__-.
The veterancy system would be based on points as a summation of the number of "likes" and the number of replies in threads of which that user is OP and number of views. Obviously, likes would be weighted more than replies which would be weighted more than # of views.
But then again... nobody cares what I think about this issue, since I'm just a lurker

According to a frequency analysis, 1 and 5 are the two most common ratings of my blog posts. I honestly do not trust tl as a whole to create any kind of a system that uses ratings to accomplish anything.

Well just a like/dislike not a 1-5 rating system as that will cause people to only vote 1 or 5 pretty much for everything. Thumbs up or Thumbs down would work out fine as you don't need to make too much of an effort to give an accurate rating.
People who make shitty posts will care about ratings, until they get rated as shit then they will stop caring and become all jaded.

I don't think you understood my point.

? i'm pretty sure my point was that for most part it would be a failed project to include ratings to more of tl's actives i just rambled on though some things though.

He's saying that basically everyone just either Likes(5)/Dislikes(1)... and TL being the community it is, it has a lot of fellow posters that will be dicks and just put Dislikes for no apparent reason. Meaning your veteran status (or anything you do) has gone down the shitter and you're screwed.
