Vouch System

[Finnster]

My opinion is this:
Change winner to vouch and have it mean "This guy is trustworthy buy from him". And make rep mean "How many vouches this guy has" not "How many positive ratings this guy has".
Also we need anti-vouch, I know Verringer was against this but we need it as this is a Market and we NEED positive and negative feedback.
Thanks,
Finnster

Also we need anti-vouch,

Suggestions forum ? Meh.

Also are you suggesting Anti-Vouch as a rating? I don't think so, if you want to leave negative feedback you should have to actually explain why you're leaving it in a post - otherwise people would "Anti-Vouch" for no reason and this would be abused. (If you're suggesting this as a rating, it's not entirely clear)

I'd like a dislike rating though in non services sections.

I miss the vouch rating because it suited nicely, but instead now when you ask/give people vouch copies they actually have to write a positive comment which is a good thing but the vouch rating is nice when you + 3 ratings on a thread as yours stands out more. Winner is actually ok to me now, but a replacement for the vouch rating (like a turtle icon?) would be nice along with winner.

Your first statement doesn't make sense either, reputation shouldn't be classified under positive ratings. Unless reputations for shit posting is being taken into account, the vouch rating used to count as vouches which technically were a reputation in themselves, not positive ratings altogether. Someone who has 20 vouches for selling plugins obviously has a good selling reputation for that particular service, likewise with accounts or builds. Someone with 20 likes/agrees may just have written a nice interesting post, doesn't necessarily mean they're trustworthy such as Nightcrawler who was ratting people.

I rate a users reputation for how active they appear to be (slightly taking their messages/ratings into account), if they have positive vouches/comments on their profiles and services or sales threads.
Nightcrawler got 6 winner ratings + some other ratings for his/Savages sniper and he was ratting people so...

Conclusion imo -

• Add vouch/turtle rating
• Keep winner
• An anti-vouch rating would be aids/abused

Mason made a thread in suggestions that seemed like a solid idea for ratings in general. http://www.mc-market.org/threads/31230/
