No. and there is not one coming.

Giving out the specifics of how the system works is a surefire way to encourage petty people to exploit it.


Wise words. Good thing this is throught through real well. Hopefully it won't turn into another recon like debacle. Oh well I'm sure this will spark some good in the community though.

Exploit it by being good and going back in time to join earlier... Yep, sounds pretty bad to me... :/

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

You don't know exactly how the system calculates being "good." If, for example, it used some calculation of activity or reported threads, then someone could push the system. There wouldn't be much of a point, but in the future there might be extra rewards associated with it, so you want to leave all options open.

Recon, you put it very well. I agree.

Why is it that most people can't take something on blind faith. The system works fine, and has different measures to stop abuse. Why does it matter how it works, or what the factors are? It shouldn't. Just use common sense when posting and reporting, then your rating will go up. If you act stupid or try to abuse the system you will be punished. I don't know or care how it works, I'm just glad its there. It makes reporting violations easier, click button and move on, over time it will help cut down on the spammers, rule breakers, and trolls. We have been given a great new tool, why not just be glad we got it and not worry about how it works?

S3NATOR has brilliantly taken the next philosophical and theoretical step, and advanced mankind once more. For that, I'm forever grateful.

Don't expect a layout of how things work.

I think that Bungie learned from explaining MM in depth and getting tons of boosters as a result.


QFT

and I wanted to know what my account was...

  • 12.12.2007 9:18 AM PDT

I know this is old now, but I do feel a small smugness for predicting this/suggesting something similar not too long ago. Looky at the thread I made a while ago here.
My thread was blocked though, shucks.

It's just the initial shock. Big changes don't come too often. So when they do it takes a while for people to work it through their system.

It's more a measure of not getting in trouble than exceptional posting, and since Foman has only been here a year and a half, there hasn't been enough time to build up enough of a trust rating. Are there any Heroic '06ers?

I haven't seen any yet but hope to be one soon, maybe.
i am. by 30 days
