Which do you perfer (they show post count, right now if you have 500 posts you get 6 TPU logos above your name but if you have 1k posts you have 7 stars)

hmmm...its a toughie tbh
i think the stars are actually better at representing status, cos its a star

I'm used to the stars, but the logos are more relevant and aesthetically pleasing. Hard to choose. Stars are kind of generic.

The logos are nice to look at, but I personally like the stars, as they are more, "put lots of me together to look cool." The logos are not that way. They don't fit. Only simple shapes can be repeated. Conceptually, the logos fail. If we do a change, I think we should change to bars.

I believe that forums need some manner of depitcting whether a user has a certain level of participation. I am not implying that just becuase someone has 4 millions posts that any of the posts were any good, just that they are in the boards regularly and read and respond to many posts.

90% of the time, the people who do have a lot of posts (and more stars/logos) are trying their best to help out in a lot of threads. It is just a visual method for people to use to see if the poster is an active participant. That coupled with the thanks (which is no sure fire method either) helps to lend some credibility to a poster's thread creation or responses.

There is never going to be an infallible way of eliminating post/thanks whoring, but in this forum I would say that the post counts and stars/logos are a pretty good indication of those who are honestly willing to help.

Just my 2 cents.

I was wondering when someone would post about that.. lol.. I know the reasoning for everything, and I go all for it. Stars/Logo, with Thanks lets the noobs know that the person is someone to listen to. While the lesser of the those will just look at someone that is ether learning or doesn't know much. TO ME, its just pointless. But, Like I say, its me. I'm the type of person that will go with the flow and so forth. Don't see the point to make things harder when you don't have to.

@Cold : Hey, my friend, how's it going?
I know that for the regular users it is worthless. But that is because we can tell a crap post from a good one in about two seconds. That is not always true for the new members of the forums. Again, all the visuals do is show a member's participation level, not their expertise.
Almost 100% of forums have some method of showing a member's particpation.
I have yet to find one that reliably determines their expertise.
But if a new member comes here to help with some real expertise, they will have stars/logos/thanks in very short order.

Yeah, your right on that! I'm just a person that just really don't see points in the star and logo thing. Showing your posts is enough for me. Thank you's are good to. I mean, I can tell from Wile E that he has went through a lot of hardware and knows what he knows... From the posting, the time he's been here, and the amount of thanks he's been giving. I see where your getting at and I'm for it all.. Just letting everyone know how I feel for it.. Why not have a different system for each level? But, we've been down that road and its all trial and error. It's something that takes time.

Thats the same way I feel.. At first I thought it was cool. But, after awhile and seeing it just blah... I'm one that don't see the need for them... Posts and Thanks are what make the person know who you are...

It may be more useful if you instead of the stars you could put what you feel that you are most proficient at. I know that there are many of us who are good at a lot of things, but I guess you would list have to pick your favorite.

Kreij
04-01-2008, 02:12 AM
No, I don't mean custom titles, I meant more of titles that a user can select from.
Not something like "GPU Master", but maybe select from a pre-defined list.
Maybe even just the names of sections.

Like I said, just doing a little brainstorming. The brainstorm could end up just being a light shower or even a drizzle :D

Yeah, its something that would be good, but you got to earn it here. I think its a good thing to do. That way its not a bunch of people saying stupid things like

Pwning You!

But if there could instead of being stars, 7 different titles and then the custom at 5,000 posts then its might work?!?

PVT, that made my night.

Just because someone is new to the boards, does not mean they are not well versed in any number of things.

Of course, there are always n00bs, and yes there should be a "n00b" title if people want to let other people know that they are trying to learn. They can always upgrade to "Dangerous"

I am on the extremes.... but if you are new to a board you are a n00b. Even if I am good at computers I am still a n00b to everyone on that board :) (If I were new of course... yes I remember that time...)

If you use the same logic as the stars, then the custom titles don't mean anything either.
It is just a badge that you have tons of posts. Says nothing about the content.

I like the custom titles, but it is not "earned", it is just given for high a high level of participation. Just like the stars.

i can agree with that as well, just because you have more post doesn't necessarily mean that you know more or something, it just means you have be participating allot i guess its like a seniority thing

Kreij

@JBunch

You are right, it is just a "seniority" thing. But there is nothing wrong with that.
It give the dedicated uses a little perk for what they have contributed.

Maybe an idea would be to put somethin in the profile that would show up after the thanks count to show what you are most interested in, or proficient at. Again, it should not be user generated, but a selection to keep it consistent.

Or not. It's ultimately up to W1z, and he has enough going on. But it is nice that we can voice comments and feedback. Some boards don't allow it.

Some forums use other methods as I am sure most of you know, I am not suggesting that it's the best way to go but if you take for example Extreme Systems, they have a generic title that is dependant on the amount of posts you have acheived, so it could go like this :laugh::

0-99 - SuperNoob
100-499 - Noob
500- 999 - TechApprentice

it was almost tied this morning, and now it's way off.. the stars count is still the same too

within 10 hr, the margin gets that big..makes me wonder a little......

Yes we have nothing better to do then mess with polls. As much grief as you caused a few months ago it might be best for you to not stir the pot with groundless rumors you made up on your own.

Stars, but probably because I am used to them.

i think you should have a choice, but the logos are better than the stars, because there unique, and stars are generic, but its more personal preference, and what your used to.

stars are too generic, i think after a certain amt of posts you should get logos

i think logos plus a unique word would be great like small poster or freak dude leave tpu and get some sleep or something like that :laugh:

I am still for generic titles to depict post count up until the 5000th post where you get the custom title, I think titles seems just a bit more personal and if chosen correctly for each level can better depict how long you have been here and how much you have contributed, something along the Xtreme systems model but with out own unique level terminology, starting with maybe "apprentice".......

Definitely the new TPU logos, they look far better than the crappy stars.

I definitely prefer stars.

However, seeing as you can change it... how about different icons for each LEVEL.

Perhaps like tatty One#s signature picture... LOL

this might merge better with the forums background.
One more doubt here, shouldn't the colour of the logo be green instead of red(red means switched off....)

it just a universal symbol for the power button color is not really that important blue would look nice though...i like the logos because they are unique to this forum

The red colour is like a RROD. To use the red symbols as stars the background has to be changed.

Why not have AMD, Intel and nVidia and ATI logos, coresponding to what we use in our rigs. Then we would have status and brand loyalty. :D

Each level is a seperate graphic. So 2 stars and 3 stars are just a different jpeg (or whatever). If there were a variety of symbols, W1zz would have to create and maintain them all (8 for each symbol type). I don't think that is going to happen in our life time.

I love the TPU logos as well.
I don't know why some say that they have to be blue or some other colour to go with the background of the site, I mean the stars are yellow and no one ever said they don't go well with the background of the site.
Red TPU buttons are perfect, because the red power button is the logo of the site. Also red looks like something really powered up. Blue is more like switched off...
