A Way to track Minuses?

Posted by The Beast

is there any way to find out who minused you. This is particularily frustrating. On all of my comments for one of the recent posts. Every single one of my comments was minused. I don't mind being minused, but I would like to have an explanation of why I got the minus. People should explain why they give a minus. But, anyway, can I find out who just gave out a bunch of minuses.

Not really. It'd kill the servers -- think about how much data there'd be to process. However, there's a social way to do this. Tylersalt is drafting an ArmchairGM Code of Conduct, which I see as an expression of our community's guidelines and norms. Maybe you should write up some sort of suggestion that, if you minus people's comments, you leave them messages to explain why?

If you agree with something someone says, you get a plus. If you disagree, you give them a minus. What's so hard about that?

I think I've already got the World Time Record here for negative comments! But no worries guys, I'm not back to incite.

MJD got -47 on that one, and he has -34 lower down. Some record!

The minuses will end Tyrone now that the inciting has.

There were times in the past when there were people that gave a gluttony of minuses to just about everyone. There was a time when two users, Xinoph and Christof I think, were minused on practically every comment they ever made. If you've seen the "Top Users" thing - in those days it was calcualted using your comment score, i.e. positive minus negative, as part of a rotisserie scoring. Because of that attack, the system was changed to include positive scoring only. We've not had the problem since.

So the moral of the story: Whenever something bad has happened, we've come up with a solution to prevent a repeat performance in future! Which is excellent!

I mean, Xinoph has said some pretty dumb things (not that I haven't)... Christof is just a homer (Not that I'm not)...but he rips the teams w/ the best of us

I kinda hate christof for one reason. Friday Fryer. He gets credit for just riping everyone, and I'd look like a copy cat if I were to do the same thing. But that's totally irrelivant. Tyrone, just get used to it, and eventually it'll go away

I mean, he's ripping stupid people/stupid things people do... Often times, those in the fryer deserve it...although, he does have an affinity to all things PA/Atlantic area...

Don't get me wrong. I love the Fryer. But it's so much fun to write, and takes almost no work
