AAA++++!!! WOULD BUY AGAIN!!!

Oh don’t doublesign with alts please, next time I’m ratting you out. You know who I’m talking about. Also I don’t really see why this is needed. It would create an extra reward for mediocre submissions the way I see it.

You made Vader snobby.

I had a style with 85+ -75 and got like 2 scoops.

I don’t really care but for people that do this is needed.

But being mediocre has nothing to do with in what order your up and down votes are given.

In my eyes this might even discourage excessive down-voting because down-voting will no longer prevent anyone else from getting scoops, only from having their submission included in the completed forum.

This change would encourage quantity over quality. I mean, if one were to submit five mediocre ideas they might get 5-10 scoops, just for not being disqualified.

Now, this could either: increase the number of good ideas in the pool, or increase the number of bad ideas in the pool.

Trying to create drama to drum up the ratings by any means necessary!

Any increase in bad ideas would affect your buildr score, though, wouldn’t it? So it would fix itself eventually.

An easy fix would be making it scale according to how many submissions you sent. The more submissions you receive, more votes you need to earn a scoop.

Something along the lines of:

1~3 Sub = 1 scoop per 5 votes

3~5 Subs = 1 scoop per 10 votes

Etcetera. It’s just a basic idea, but I guess it’s not hard to understand. And tune accordingly, I know the example I posted is not the best one but I’m pretty sure CZ can tune it well.

anti.

I think scoops should be given only when the forum is published.

And maybe they should be based on the percentage, not the amount of votes. Like 1 scoop for 50%, 2 scoops for 55% and so on.

And of course the submission should reach a minimum number of votes to be awarded.

While I like this idea, in spirit, it means that chocolate scoops are only available once a week, which doesn’t really help domination at all. And that’s a bad thing. It also heavily encourages klan voting. And that’s a bad thing (or so I’m told).

Well if chocolate scoops are given at the last minutes of domination things might change completely Log in to see images!

And about klan voting, I think there’s no easy solution for it, other than strict banning.

If chocolate scoops are given at the last minute of domination, then forumbuildr times have to change as well, since you can’t determine the total percentage of a vote until the vote is over.

And I am pretty sure that the CZs haven’t automated forum-making yet. Granted, I could be terribly wrong and this could be a simple change, but it’s also a case of “too much, too quick” with people rushing to start new-round raids and people starting new-round submissions.
