Esteemed Member Tag Now Available (Automatically Dished Out)

[Dan]

Okay, so I'm not a huge fan of tag. But I am of good content.

So here's a new tag that should encourage that. We've had it running on TilersForums.com and it seems to have worked a bit. People get it.

So this is based on your reactions to your posts.

First of all you'll need 300 posts to qualify. Else we end up with loads of newbies automatically getting it because their like/post ratios change so often.

Then you'll need to have a post per like ratio of 1:1.

So if you have 1000 posts, those posts need to have an average over them all of 1000. And then the tag will be applied within the hour. It runs every hour or so to check changes.

Out of the 6 'like' options we have, the first three on the left (so the heart and the laughing one) count as positive likes (or reactions). And the three on the right are neutral. Rather than taking anything away. I think that could be abused too easily.

So I'll leave this here and go run off and hide for a bit. And we'll see what happens in a week or so eh.

When the forum was upgraded a large proportion of the positive reaction count didn't come with it, is there any way to get those added back?

I know mine sat at over 1:1, and likes of Richard Burns, Risteard had way way above that from a lot more posts. Now they are around 1:0.5

So all I need is this post to get 734 likes and then I'll get the tag.

Can't wait

There is your first mate.

There is your first mate.

Thanks lol

Good to see you retained the respectable member tag.

You're well worth it.

 

[ruston]

Thanks mate , that means a lot to me coming from you .
I think they will go soon though .

LOL. I can't remember what mine was but checked today and see that I'm not within an asses roar of 1:1!

 

[ruston]

Will have to be going some to get one to one , if that is what it is.

 

[Lucien Nunes]

Oops, seems to be broken. My rep/post ratio is still well over unity but the tag has disappeared. Something Dan changed under the hood, no doubt...

 

[Dan]

Yes apologies mate. I'll take a look into that. I think I moved the ratio the wrong way. I was after more members not less lol

 

[telectrix]

dunno about esteemed. atm i'm steamed. JD on the ricks and pizza for tea.

 

[Dan]

Edit: give it 20 mins and yours should come back, and a few other members should end up with it also. Possibly.

The ratio I'm going to keep quiet about from now on but clearly this forum needs them greater than 1:1. Plumbers and tilers both catch a lot of members at that ratio. That shows how much shyte is posted here amongst the actual awesome electrical content.

Hence the word minimum kinda stuff.

Oh no. Write down what you want to post on a pad and post it tomorrow once you've read it sober. Lol

My Ratio will go down after posting this message, unless someone likes it
sitting at 0.994 or 99% but I haven't got any shiny new tags next to my name.
If you have moved the threshold down, it wasn't by a lot!!!

I think a lot of it is down to that when the forum changed, the positive reaction counts didn't carry over properly. I know I had a better ratio than 1 post:1 postive reaction and other's significantly better, as alluded to in post #2.

@Risteard @Richard Burns I think had reaction scores of better than 1 post: 2 postive reactions, now they are more around 1:0.5 which is way off. No staff are close 1:1 but all would have been over it before the forum update.

Incorrect. They all did. And always have done. I don't change the forum unless I can carry those over. I was waiting for it to be possible before I did it. And did three trial test forums before live ones.

Don't spread rumours. They start small wars on here lol

Staff on all forums are low. We dish out warnings too much and close threads people want open. We take it all on the chin.

We also have automated messages that go out for birthday threads and things that hammer our counts usually.

@Lucien Nunes should be back by now so it's an error my end. I will take a look tomorrow in work.
