Actmyname....well, this one is tricky. He's engaged in discussion on this topic, which shows an open mind. But then there are those....rampages...which are also opinion based.
Which rampages? Are you talking about the bulk ratings in which I go to a spam megathread and tag prominent users there?I have already stated that the negative trust will be removed when a week's worth of quality posting occurs.
There is one option that I have which could work: to instill a neutral trust feedback that prompts users to improve their post quality (and to PM them in bulk about it the day of). If they do not improve the quality within 2 weeks a negative tag will be placed upon them. How do you feel about that?
I like that you are being so open-minded on this - regardless of whatever you infer from my posts, I want you to know I respect this.
Your idea of bulk PMing is excellent. May I suggest that the PM list be shared with the mods also? That way they can filter the ones you have to tag by banning as many as possible before they get loose - if they don't improve, of course. 2 weeks seems more than reasonable - very fair.
Great reply. Thank you
Why not just focus on what Theymos said " Do not rate people based on the quality of their posts." because his words are final, don't make your own judgement which would eventually lead you in making a decision which is against the rules.
The best solution to do IMO is just to put a rating in neutral trust as that is fair, we want to be fair here, as this forum is for everyone who wants to learn.
