Yeah, that's a good point. It kind of counts as a mini-rep, and you can't rep the same post twice, so if you like a post enough to actually leave a rep comment, don't give it the finger first.

We'll see how people like it. If it's just kind of clutter in rep comments, we can turn it back off.

FWIW I see these as not needing rep comments as they are stand alone approvals given when a full comment isn't desired by the initiator.

Yeah, it's more just that there's not really any good "record" of them aside from looking back through your own posts, and this gives some semblance of that. I do wish there was a better system, though.

Might I suggest working boobs into the solution? That always seems to work.

Hmm...we could change the default upvote rep comment to ( . ) ( . )

:)

FWIW, the alternative page that's actually built into the addon is this, and it sucks.

http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/profi...?do=helpfulans

That could work.
Zomygod that page sucks. Obviously an afterthought they threw together in two minutes.

Can I have the voting buttons back? I will behave. :p

This really takes away the anonymity of putting thumbs down for all of Billay's post.



(Billay, the word anonymity means anonymous)

LMAO

Please do - it's far too messy.

So what are initial reactions to this (the rep thing)? I like it OK, but it definitely clutters up your rep. Any strong opinions?

I don't think it will be missed.

What is it?

It's replacing rep instead of supplementing it. That kinda sucks. Rep messages are fun. And nobody ever thumbs ups enough posts to get them highlighted or vice versa.

I like it just fine but wouldn't be upset if it didn't exist.

Not a fan.

It’s as bad as the old Message Option that existed on the Profile Page.

To clarify, I think the system of just having the ups and downs on the posts is unobtrusive enough that we just leave it. It's not distracting, so those who don't care can just ignore it.

The rep thing, though, is a lot more visible and impossible to ignore (unless you ignore your rep entirely).

I'm generally leaning toward ditching the rep thing, but just curious what others think.

I had one user downvote about 22 posts, which knocked all of my legit rep off the first page.

This shit

Whoever suggested this must have been baked.

ROFL

It’s not on tapatalk. So I never see it.

ROFL Not a fan huh? Then why did you do a search for all of my recent posts just to downvote them in some sort of petulant child retaliation?

All of the posts I downvoted from you were in the Royals thread and they were all dumb as ****. Everyone of them had already been downvoted at least 5 times by other posters.

That’s what makes it so stupid.

Did you really think I wouldn’t hit you back?

Do you know DaneMcCloud?

And you’re all ****ing homers that will be bowing to the ring after the Royals lose 100.

The funny thing is I wouldn’t have even thought about down voting the posts if I hadn’t noticed a bunch of them grayed out. I’m fine with the retaliation because I really give zero ****s about rep, but JFC dude that had to be a lot of work.

Yeah, it took less time than squeezing one out

You kids and your little spats. :p

No spat here. I legitimately thought his posts in the Royals thread were dumb and obviously so did a few other posters. He retaliated by searching for all my recent posts and down voting them. It’s all good.

Rep thing does clutter up your rep page. I'd say get rid of it. One counterpoint however is that more people started using the Thumbs up/down as soon as they noticed it left a "rep".

OK, no one has come out strongly in favor of keeping it, so the rep integration is now off. You can still upvote/downvote, and I'll see if there's any way of making the built-in page suck less.

Yeah, it can quickly clutter up the rep page... not ideal, at all

Also, while thumbs up/down seems to be catching on, thats no reason to ditch regular rep... the personal messages that come with rep are what makes it cool

So I see that this is off rep now. :D

FWIW, there's now a page in your UserCP (called Helpful Answers) that is a list of your last 50 "thumbs." There's also a "top list" under quick links at the top.

Neither are particularly well-refined, but they're fun to play with.

Huh, interesting. Weird how it shows the total historical number of the post you got the thumb on.

Yeah, the whole thing is kind of a half-assed mod in the first place, so nothing's all that clean about the way it works.

I've been using ChiefsPlanet to practice some newfound SQL "skills" (using ChatGPT as a crutch), and I thought it might be fun to dig into the Helpful Answers votes. So here are a bunch of "Top (or bottom) 10 Lists" based on various criteria. All of these are filtered to only include people who have posted at least 100 times in the past year, and all figures only look at posts made in the past year.

Most active givers (total votes given):
Most active receivers (total votes received):
Highest positivity ratio (% of votes that are positive):
This isn't SUPER interesting since a lot of these folks just haven't posted enough to be controversial, but I did restrict this to people who have received at least 100 votes, so it at least is an indication of people who generally don't suck.

Lowest positivity ratio (% of votes that are positive):
Highest "signal-to-noise" ratio (net votes per post):
Lowest "signal-to-noise" ratio (net votes per post):
There's a bit of a caveat here that you can't vote on posts in DC, so this is pretty much just a list of DCers who never post anything of value outside of that. Still, I think it's interesting to see...
Anyway, this is just for fun, but I do think some of it's interesting...

Someone is a stats nerd.

Guilty.

I might have made this list, but I like to make jokes about soccer and there's one person who always gives me a thumbs down on those posts. It's worth it, though.

Why did the soccer player cross the road?
To fall down and pretend to be hurt on the other side.

I’m thumbing this joke down

I knew Staylor was a taker and not a giver

You got a list of posters who get reported the most Face?

Reports just post a thread in the mod lounge and aren't otherwise tracked. So the best I could do is keyword searching, and that wouldn't tell us who did the reporting and who was being reported. So...no. Maybe if I get crazy someday and want to try out combining sql and python to parse all the posts...

Can you see how many reps above replacement poster would be. We gotta see who to trade. Need to see the RAR

I think a list of the people that report posters the most would be better.

Some of the best posters on CP right there. The system works!!!

Pretty sure I have Prison Bitch's dumb ass to thank for making the cut here.

God rest his soul

Outside of Over Yonder, since he does post in football side of things, the rest along with BEP could be axed and the entire site be improved.

He seems to be under a lot of peoples skin here, but JPB isn't a bad guy at all

I respect the fact that he never engages in dirty slur slinging, and when people engage him that way, they go on his ignore and he sticks to it religiously

He did when Pioli first came here. One of the original Patriot jackasses that never left.

Yeah he used to talk plenty of shit, we used to go round and round and I'd constantly neg the hell out of him... but he now he refuses to get in the gutter

Don't get me wrong, he is NOT shy when he disagrees with someone... but he doesn't get really nasty with the usual "your mom/fat wife/pussy ass bitch!" etc kinda stuff

I'd rather him be outright vile than a pompous condescending ass.

Here's 90% of his posts:

"You're wrong."

That's it. No explanation. When you ask him to explain, he does some variation of, "I'm not going to explain it to you because you're an idiot."

He may not be a bad guy, but he's a ****ing terrible poster. All the shit that Donger gets ragged for in terms of short incomplete responses, this guy does just as much.

Just Passin' By needs to Just Pass Away

The best is when he asks you to elaborate your opinion further and then once you do, says you're wrong without saying why or does so in a way that is holier than thou.

Go suck some nut from your moms butt!

Thats better, reeeally?

Yeah sometimes he'll just smugly high horse people without explanation, but not always

75% of the dislike for him stems from people who just don't like his politics IMO, but he is a great news and opinion contributor to DC in my estimation

Well you certainly can't go wrong getting your "news and opinion" from CP DC first thing every morning. I bet you could flip there right now and be overwhelmed by the quality just perusing the incisive thread titles.

Its a free country, Jerry... you're free to avoid the cesspool if it offends your sensibilities

Yes. It absolutely is.

One of them is an empty dismissal. You know where you stand in the conversation. It's harmless. It might even be funny if it's done creatively.

The JPB way is making assumptions about your intelligence and/or education, all with the same outcome: It's not good enough for me to respond to you genuinely. Lord, for the number of times a person who disagrees with him is stupid, this entire forum must be the biggest collection of morons and assholes on the internet!

Oh, here's another good one. You write a few sentences to him about why you disagree, or you point something out that he said, and he responds with, "That's not what I said. You can't read" and doesn't elaborate at all. There have been actual times where I show his quote to him in the same post and copy/paste it AGAIN, this time with "You said:" as a preface, and he'll tell me to learn to read, because I misconstrued his argument.

You're wrong.

o:-)

Blow fart bubbles out your mom's butt!!!!!!

Bingo.

And you’re still a ****ing idiot for obsessing over Geno Smith.

I've always thought of him as a smarmy prick. But that works too.

Career MVP votes:

Geno: 1
Sam Bradford: 0

OROY wins.

Geno: 0
Bradford: 1

Years leading the league in QB rushing

Bradford: 0
Justin Fields: 1

Seasons with an 85+ quarterback rating during first ten years

Fields: 1
elway: 0

(Note: Fields has only played for two seasons.)

Quality over quantity, bub. The numbers show I’m better than you.

only because you troll my posts constantly

you're only good for low-hanging fruit, not quality content

you just ride the coattails of the GOAT...you're skip bayless, and i'm mahomes

Just looking at your dashboard clay, jesus christ you post so goddamn much. It's actually insane.

This shit has been around for about 6 years now and you've got something like 77,000 posts hanging out there in that timespan.

i can post 10 times in 5 minutes

you're all worthless and weak

I just tried Chat GPT to create a list too:

Me: "I need a list of single horny old ladies in my retirement community that are most likely to give me a blowjob or sex when drunk?"

ChatGPT: "There are currently (14) widowed, single or divorced women available in your community over (55) years old that match your criteria. Your results are:
(6) find you repulsive
(3) will throw up on you when drunk
(2) haven't had sex in over 25 years and their vaginas have dried up.
(1) has dementia
(1) wear diapers because she always shits her pants
(1) has STD's
We recommend moving."

This is why I don't like or use Chat GPT.

4/14 ain't bad
