Mods: What's with the Red and Green Bars under the Usernames?

[stlchiefs]

What's going on? Somethings happening here.

[DaFace]

I'm just screwing around with an add-on. I probably won't keep it, but I can't try it out without you guys seeing it.

[Mecca]

What's it do.......if it shows the intelligence level of the poster that would be solid.

From what I can tell, it's kind of a replacement for rep, post count, etc that takes into account those two plus a ton of other activities to give you a ranking of sorts.

Like I said, I don't really plan to keep it, but I figured I'd play with it to see what it's like.

Run if for a few months and put it up to a vote. Well, unless it becomes a huge PITA...

Heh...ain't THAT the truth.

For what it's worth, it's slowly churning through everyone to calculate their bars, but it's going pretty slowly. It may be an hour or two before it fully updates.

Looks like there's also a link under "Quick Links" to see the full list.

This is bullshit. My rod should definitely be bigger than Clayton's.

My, what large bars you have.

WOW! Rausch's e-tool is HUGE!

It appears your Schwartz is as big as mine!

[StcChief]

let's see it

Check out Rausch's bars.

[stlchiefs]

Why is everyone the same?

I don't know but I feel privileged to share the same rating as Rainman.

[VonneMarie]

That's bullshit.

[stlchiefs]

So Rausch what do the 2 different bars mean? Is 1 better than the other?

[Hammock Parties]

I'm going to pretend red is my health bar, and green is my mana bar.

Na, after looking at it, I'm dumping it. The server load's actually about as high right now as it was in the middle of the draft, so that's no good.

Sorry to all of you who will never get to know how big your bars would have been. :p

[WhitiE]

im going to have small bars:redface:

They aren't.

I've got HUGE bars. You guys don't even know.

[stlchiefs]

They aren't.

They shrink when you get older. Tell them Skip :p

[Mecca]

You better find another cool feature now.

[Rausch]

So Rausch what do the 2 different bars mean? Is 1 better than the other?

I have no idea. The link he provided only talks about a few of the things that go into this undescribed rating system.

So far as I can tell it's like QB rating for BB members.

It did mention what kind of posts/threads you start, if they are visited and commented/repped, and what comprises your posts. Things like attachments, pics, links, etc.

I would have thought GOATS would be much bigger considering the video/pics he's contributed. Perhaps the new rating system can detect middle fingers pointed at your avatar and username...

[Skip Towne]

They shrink when you get older. Tell them Skip :p

Not in this case. My bars were huge.

[KcMizzou]

I've got HUGE bars. You guys don't even know.Some bars are held for charity,
and some for fancy dress.

But when they're held for pleasure,
They're the bars that I like best.

FTR, I've got the biggest.... bars of them all.

[blueballs]

Is it something whinny little bitches get
when they go crying to the mods
that' be cool

Maybe we can just turn them on on Tuesdays.

Only of the few to post in this thread. And there's always the chance a mod tinkered with it...

[KcMizzou]

Only of the few to post in this thread. And there's always the chance a mod tinkered with it...you wish

[DaFace]

Heh...I was just digging around over there, and there's an add-on called "Miserable Users." Basically, instead of banning people, you just add them to that list and it will give them fake database errors, blank pages, and crap like that 3/4 of the time as if the server were having issues. It would work fine for everyone else. ROFL

I always wonder what prompts a person to design something like that.

1. Slow response (time delay) on every page (20 to 60 seconds default).
2. A chance they will get the "server busy" message (50% by default).
3. A chance that no search facilities will be available (75% by default).
4. A chance they will get redirected to another preset page (25% & homepage by default).
5. A chance they will simply get a blank page (25% by default).
6. Post flood limit increased by a defined factor (10 times by default).
7. If they get past all this okay, then they will be served up their proper page.

[Skip Towne]

I went to another thread and mine was about the same as yours. The top bar was maxed out and the lower one about 3/4. So yours is probably not tinkered with.

What'd I ever do to you?

It was calculating them sequentially by user number, so people who have been here the longest got calculated first. The rest would have eventually caught up if I'd let it go.

Why not let it go until everybody can see theirs then shut it off. Might be fun.

[Hammock Parties]

That's a great add-on. Wouldn't have fooled me though...I'd just hook up another username.

The KCStar board had a option for the "miserable users"
it showed them posting only where that poster could read it
they got banned and didn't know it -pretty funny

I was getting nervous about the server load. I don't know how high it can go before we start having issues, but it was higher than I've seen it since the draft. I'd rather not crash the server. :)

We have that feature. There are two users in it currently.

Not worth it?

I like the idea behind it but I don't like any system where a members starts off at 75% of the max. The idea is that it should be more than a toy or gimmic and as close to a true evaluation of the poster as possible. If I've been here 5 years and i'm only 1/2 full of RepX then I know I've got be quality for another 5 to top off.

And I liked that it was more than just "the popular kids like me." Sems like there was a lot considered in the BBQB rating that other users couldn't manipulate...

[KcMizzou]

Well, you didn't "start off" at that level. It calculated that level for you based on everything you've done on the Planet since day 1. Most other people would have been much lower.

[DaFace]

Did someone say something?

[Bugeater]

Whatever happened to that KcMizzou guy? Haven't seen him post for quite a while.

to keep them from catching on

Nope.

The ones in there must've figured it out eventually - neither of them have been around for a while. I think the most famous one of recent times was when Phobia put Redrum_69 in there for like a year.

[Hammock Parties]

I literally got paranoid about that. I'd open internet explorer and load up chiefsplanet without logging in to see if my posts were showing up.

Sho nuff... :cuss:

[Hammock Parties]

Conspiracy? Naa. Everyone just used to know it as "global ignore."

THE CHIEFSPLANET CONSPIRACY - UNVEILED

He was the troll who wouldn't die. No mod could ban him. No IP address could contain him. He was the scourge of Chiefsplanet...until one day...THE CONSIPRACY WAS BORN.

Using top secret technology developed exclusively for the Chiefsplanet hack of VBulletin 3.5, the Planet mods - otherwise known as the THE COUNCIL OF BALD GOATS - hatched a master plan in which to ensnare their archivillain.

Thousands of Planet members were catalogued, their posting styles studied, their taste in avatars archived, so that THE SCOURGE would finally be entrapped, alone...all alone...within THE CHIEFSPLANET MATRIX.

ALONE in his cyberworld, surrounded with Planeteer doppelgangers who post, act, rep, PM and smell like REAL denizens of dumbassery, HE WHO CANNOT BE BANNED has no knowledge of the real Chiefsplanet. He is TRAPPED FOREVER WITHIN THE CHIEFSPLANET MATRIX. HE is GoChiefs, GOATSE, Mr. T Rex, JBret, BonoRules, and a THOUSAND other usernames.

HE IS ALONE. FOREVER IGNORANT. FOREVER POSTING.

FOREVER - UNTIL THE CONSPIRACY IS UNVEILED!

Rated R for poop threads and brief nudity.
