ChiefsPlanet New Feature: Up/Down Voting Posts - Page 19

**Bearcat** · 09-14-2017, 04:58 PM

We have been playing around with up/down vote functionality for the past couple of weeks and just activated it in the Lounge prior to this thread.

1. Everyone can vote a post up or down. The vote totals themselves show up on the bottom right of the post. You can't vote on your own posts (the up/down vote is hidden), but you will see the totals once it's voted on.
2. If a post meets some criteria for being "good," the post will be given a yellow border (so that others are drawn to the "good posts" in a big thread).
3. Similarly, if a post meets some criteria for a "bad post," it will be shaded. If a post meets criteria for a "terrible post," it will be shown collapsed with a red bar. The red bar of a collapsed post shows the user's name, and you can click a button at the right to show the post.
4. This functionality doesn't mess with the order of posts.

I'm using "some criteria" only because we're sure it'll change. The border, shading, and collapsed posts are based on the difference between up and down votes, not a total number of one or the other. We'll be making adjustments based on usage, especially with collapsed posts.

We have questions about whether it'll work here vs a place like reddit. A few of us like the idea while others have brought up legitimate concerns. In the end, we decided to roll it out, at least temporarily.

This is a trial run.

We'll give it a week or two depending on how things go, then we'll put it to a vote as long as it's not an obviously terrible idea. The goal is make threads a little easier to scroll through -- easier to find the best contributions and easier to scroll past the trolling and derailments. We aren't out to completely hide posts and will adjust as needed to keep that percentage really low, or based on your feedback.

So I see that this is off rep now.

**DaFace** · 01-11-2019, 09:50 PM

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.

**DaFace** · 06-25-2023, 09:58 AM

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):

Code:

htismaqe		23668
MarkDavis'Haircut	15245
DRM08			8172
Chris Meck		6739
Lzen			6469
Bowser			5659
Chief Ten Beers		4797
TEX			4738
Imon Yourside		4020
Spott			4003

Most active receivers (total votes received):

Code:

Hammock Parties	6645
DJ's left nut	5868
smithandrew051	5529
staylor26	5488
The Franchise	4837
Bearcat		4801
htismaqe	4774
Jewish TLO	4676
Rain Man	4534
TwistedChief	4241

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.

Code:

TinyEvel		100.00%
Perineum Ripper		100.00%
PattyFlakes		100.00%
AustinChief		100.00%
Shiver Me Timbers	100.00%
Mosbonian		100.00%
Nightfyre		100.00%
IA_Chiefs_fan		100.00%
Peter Gibbons		99.72%
Bwana			99.63%

Lowest positivity ratio (% of votes that are positive):

Code:

straycash	8.58%
Quesadilla Joe	9.83%
GROB		10.39%
oaklandhater	17.48%
bsroyals54	25.00%
JustDiqLix	25.28%
dolphinsneu	40.29%
R8RFAN		43.00%
rfaulk34	43.19%
UChieffyBugger	48.28%

Highest "signal-to-noise" ratio (net votes per post):

Code:

Jewish TLO	2.11
LoneWolf	1.75
TwistedChief	1.60
FAX		1.48
TinyEvel	1.47
HayWire		1.40
kysirsoze	1.39
OnTheWarpath15	1.37
DaFace		1.33
Dartgod		1.31

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...

Code:

Snopes Hammer	0.00
Over Yonder	0.00
NinerDoug	0.00
Taco John	0.01
True North	0.01
El Lobo Gordo	0.01
Just Passin' By	0.01
Pogue		0.01
Loneiguana	0.01
Pennywise	0.02

Anyway, this is just for fun, but I do think some of it's interesting...

Someone is a stats nerd.

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

Titty Meat · 06-25-2023, 10:28 AM

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...

Demonpenz · 06-25-2023, 11:05 AM

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.
