Subject: Visible trust bar and "trust number"?

The point is, ken, that there could, very well, be other ways unbeknownst to us, as to how trust ratings are measured. If people had a visible bar when they got "trust points (chickens)" and went down when they lost "chickens", they could find out those other things and find a way to boost them up to Exalted Mythic by perfectly crafting their posts in a way that would give them maximum "chickens".

That sounds like a bad idea to me. If there are other elements to the awarding of "chickens" besides PPD and moderation history, I'm sure Achronos wants to keep it secret for a very good reason.

Why chickens? :o



Reference material from earlier in this thread:

Exactly, it could be measure in chickens and not, in fact, trust points.

What if it isn't a linear progression and can't be measured the way you want it to be? In addition, as it's already been mentioned sort of, wouldn't it just be a way for people to try and game the system?

The trust system doesn't go from 0 to 777. It goes much higher, and into the negatives as well. There already are trust bars, if you didn't notice. Titles reflect your trust rating.

I would personally hate to see trust ratings as a number visibly, as it would easily turn into a "what gets my number up" game here. It's much better not seeing trust.

Expressing my strong liberal views without shame. Favorite quotes below:

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."
"One starts to live when he can live outside himself."

- Albert Einstein

Funny how those with titles are dead set against this.

I'm for scrapping or a major re-haul of the title system.

It's unkown if an automated syste even exists. Some people have rumors that bungie controls you title.

Ken, why are you so interested in seeing your trust rating?


Ken, why do you keep avoiding this question?

I'd guess because he wants to see how getting almost all of his threads to be a Hot Topic affects his trust rating.

evil master plan to be something in an internet forum..

So it's like an Arena Rating for the forums?

I am sorry, but no.

GROSSMAN: Do you think of the Culture as a utopia? Would you live in it, if you could?

BANKS: Good grief yes, to both! What's not to like? ...Well, unless you're actually a fascist or a power junkie or sincerely believe that money rather than happiness is what really matters in life. And even people with those bizarre beliefs are catered for in the Culture, albeit in extreme-immersion VR environments.

Unsurprisingly, Ken's been banned for something...

On topic, despite what someone said about all the higher titled members not wanting this, I don't want it either, and I've been stuck at Noble for god knows how long.

Do you really want EVEN more popularity threads, and threads instructing new members on how to boost their chickens? If the trust rating was visible, that would happen, I can guarantee it.

Also Mythic would become nothing special, as would everything other than the Time based ranks, and with enough patience you could get those too.

Wake me, when you need me.

I think you guys put way too much time into something meaningless.

“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

You're correct about that... but how did you find out about my non-Bnet activities?

No, because it will change nothing, only make this forum 'ranking' system 'Reach-like.' Something to avoid like the plague.

  • 08.23.2011 2:18 AM PDT

Does anyone even read these?

lol at the OP.

I agree, people will just mass post and that will be pointless, its already visible as titles andit shoudl stay that way.

No. The idea is to come on these forums, have questions answered, partake in discussions, and have fun. The idea of 'visible trust' would act as a 'bias' when people post.

i.e. people who only post to partake in increased trust levels and not in discussions.

Is it trolling or stupidity?

Do they ban for stupidity?

Depends. How stupid is stupid in this case?

As a long time troll, I can tell you it's trolling. Stupidity is much more evident and less thought out.

I play for fun and armory completion. :)

Ken, why do you care such more about your rank? This idea would just give people a goal of achieving a higher title when the title system isn't supposed to be important.
