Here's the rating system summed up in an image: - Without the rating system, would two people have posted? No. - Did the rating system prevent two amazing posts from being written? No. - Did it lower the barrier to feedback and enhance @Captain Jordan's post? Yes. - Did @TheMaster99 sheepishly like it? Yes. - Is it kinda funny/fun? Yes. - Did some people think that revealing user post-count and join-date would lead to peen-measuring contests? Yes. - Did it lead to peen-measuring contests? No. - Does anyone care about post count? No. - Does anyone care about join date? No. - Will anyone care about aggregate ratings? No. Not until proven otherwise, and I'm always willing to be wrong. But I'm rarely wrong. What I actually do need help with: - I need people with opinions about the Etherpad integration to give me ideas for how to implement it. What would be the most useful for them? Does anyone have a vision? - I need people with opinions about the dice integration to also give me ideas. What's the ideal?

Interest check and bumping question

Sounds like the right way to use the interest check system to me. :)

Explain what your neutral face looks like.

My problem is that I don't have a resting/neutral face. If I'm not thinking about my face, it's a freeze-frame of a chaotic configuration of clenched and unclenched muscles. Like if I had to squint an eye because someone's watch reflected a sunbeam into my face, there's a good chance I'll be slightly squinting 15 min later. But that's the best case scenario -- that I'm simply unaware of my face. The losing battle comes when I become self-aware of my face. I'll be walking to work and I'll suddenly recall a Tony Robbins quote about how you should always wear a slight smile. You know, brighten up my day and everyone's that sees me just like Tony says. So I'll try to apply that morsel of advice to my own face. Clenching the right muscles to approximate someone that smiles naturally as they walk down the street. Clench and hold. 10 min later I do a clench-check. Am I still smiling? Too small of a smile? Too large? I realize that I'm actually frowning now and my left eye is squinting again, muscle memory from the watch reflection 5 hours ago.

hilarious memes!

I see why Doivid sticks to the Count To 1000 thread.

I think yall will be surprised how little people care about the aggregate numbers on the user profile. Making guesses at what could possibly go wrong is a waste of energy. If you aren't judging people by their aggregate ratings, then why do you assume it's an issue everyone else is going to struggle with but you? When I first split the roleplaying forums into Free/Casual/Advanced, people were bemoaning the fate of the Guild -- that the roleplaying category would collapse into a faction war. Yet it was the people clamoring about the possibility of "elitism" that were fulfilling their own prophecy. Let's move on.

The point is, "writing community" or not, if your post can be compressed into "" or "", then spare us the logorrhea and just click the rating.
