Bring Back The "Vouch" Rating

[Nightcrawler]

As some of you have realized, the Vouch rating, which has always been a thing- has been changed to Winner, I for one disagree with this, and highly urge to admins to charge it back, what do you guys think?

If you don't want to use the easy poll above, or want to do something extra- rate this post "Agree" if you agree, and "Funny" if you disagree.

Even if the 'vouch' is the not the official rep system, it's the system for every day users, and to make sure we are dealing with the appropriate people. Why would you remove something that everyone uses?

Also, in what circumstance will winner be needed? For a giveaway? You can't even rate on giveaways.

Why was it even changed? Everyone used that.. I don't mean this to be rude by it's like the staff are trying to remove everything the users love (Just stating my opinion, staff are great).

First the ban page now this?

Honestly I don't know what doing these things is supposed to accomplish.

It's important to ask the community about things like this because if not people will just get pissed off and start leaving.

Exactly.

Let's take the ban list for example. Instead of removing it without any warning(assuming that was the case), you could've asked the community about it. From what I've heard he problem was the admins were getting asked why people were being banned.

Solution: New Rule: please do not ask administrators why they were banned. There is a reason column for a 'reason'.

Winner is for people that answer questions or solve stuff. Like Spigot. Where people actually ask questions.

Staff meeting:

Verringer: "Hmm lets do some shit and see if any one will notice"
All staff: "Okay, sounds great"
Jack: "What should we do?"
Verringer: "Rename the "Vouch" rating to "winner".
Jack: "I'm not going to alter your decision"

An in-the-moment change to something important such as this is usually only done to boost ego.

Logically, the community should be consulted to avoid a shitstorm like the one we're experiencing now.

It's the default rating for the ratings addon.. If anything - Spigot are copying us!


I haven't read through this thread, but ratings are seen as reputation and people use "Vouch" even more as a reputation rating - locked.
