Supreme Being?
-
Have you noticed how every one is now a Supreme Being on the site (instead of newbie, ms 500...).
Is this a new marketing feature designed for the ego or something else??
:D.
-
It just feels right to me.
-
In my case, it's just confirmation of something I've known all along. Now if I can just convince my boss.... 😉

That would be a great idea Steve. Can you tell us how the new point system works? Last time I checked, I only had 9600 posts or something like that.
-
If you have more than the posts listed (but less than the next number), you get that title.
So 0-9 posts is Newbie, etc.
-
Thank you Steve for the quick reply. But this is not the question I asked :).
I meant that in the old version of the site I had 9600 posts, now with the transfer I have 10500 points. So where does the 900 points difference comes from??
I can think of PM sent and received and QOTD, but other than that I don't see where they can come from.

Ouch. It's like getting promoted and demoted in the same week. It was fun while it lasted.
So Steve, I noticed that you have references to Mays and Babe, but no Bonds? Hmmmm.... 😉

Not sure what happened with the points/posts. Supposedly they're stored separately, but I haven't had a chance to dig through the db with this somewhat crazy day. I'll get this info sometime.
Bonds is a great hitter, no doubt. Maybe the best hitter ever, but certainly not the best player. No rings, not great post-season, etc. Plus he's not done. Ruth and Mays are set in stone.
Should have a "Rose" level and maybe a Cy Young (strikeouts) one as well 🙂

That would be a great idea Steve. Can you tell us how the new point system works? Last time I checked, I only had 9600 posts or something like that.In my case, it's pretty clear that my score is the sum of forum posts and points from Question of the Day. Maybe articles published are added in also.

Greg is correct. I heard last night the formula is QOtD points + forum posts.
I'm looking for alternate suggestions for names as well as formula for measuring points on the front page. I like seeing posts here, so we'll try to get that switched back.
-
That makes more sens Steve, the forums were always about posts... not QOTD. It's a good idea to have an overall points system but I like the old way better.
-
Actually, can you assign applicable points to different forums? ie: make posts in the SQL Server forums +1 and post in non-SQL Server forums (editorials and such) +0??
That would cover an issue I have always had with counting the number of posts. People could post away in non-SQL forums thus inflating the count.

Come on now, let's not overcomplicate things. Has abuse of the point system really been an issue?

Never heard anyone complain about this...
I see Phil's point of view on this matter. However a contribution on a editorial is still a contribution. Many editorials are right on target with SQL server, so those posts would still count as "Valid"... this could really become a nightmare to track down... especially going back 6-7 years.
