The BIONICLE Wiki:Vote for Ratings

This is a community poll to decide if we should keep the Lego Bionicle:Rating System, please sign your comments below, and IP cannot vote. This poll will end July 9th, 2008. And new users will be able to vote three days after they have joined.

Keep

 * 1) ToaAuserv ? ...BPAdmin It's sorta our thing, you know? A unique quality of this wiki that I would be sad to see go. I can see how it would be considered pointless and tedious to do, but perhaps with some major revisions to the concept, like the ones Racht suggested, it could work.
 * 2) Racht  00:15, 4 July 2008 (UTC) Perhaps if my idea was somewhat implemented, it could work out.
 * 3) Toa Makao's fortress is located here   Dare to interrupt I, the Bohrok king   Why am I in trouble this time?  How can we caution a troublemaker without having to block them without it? How can we reward hard workers?
 * 4) Hammerise It's not that bad, and I think it could work out if we improve it..
 * 5) - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 20:47, 7 July 2008 (UTC) It's got its problems, but I think it needs to be fixed, not thrown out.

Not keep

 * 1) -- Panaka lego  - I've stated my reasons in the Admin chat topic in the forums, it is as much trouble as it is helpful.
 * 2) Captain Kazi ----- Talk I have to say the whole point thing is really getting old. Besides, it does nothing to IP's  anyway.
 * 3) -Hi Kazi! Avlok
 * 4) MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} - I think that it mostly gets in the way. Also I think that the three warnings system is efficient. Auserv: what if somebody who gets a rating that high doesn't want to be a Rollbacker?
 * 5) Reptilia 16:39, 7 July 2008 (UTC) The rating system may keep track of people's behavior and edits, but it's not really that good. Please get rid of it.

Comments
I won't vote right away. I would, however, like for the staff to see my idea before I vote. Please here for my idea on the Rating System. Racht 21:51, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That is basically what is happening right now, with a few minor tweaks here and there. And is this a "yes", or a "no"? It sounds like a yes from what I read. -- Panaka lego  22:52, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * If we decide to keep it, by some chance, honestly I wouldn't mind taking over the Rating System, but it seems like since I have a lot of responsibilities on here already (To-Do List Manager, Personal Image Enforcer, User of the Month Manager, and of course the regular sysop/bcrat responsibilities), we could give one of my jobs to Kazi or you or MG if that was to happen.


 * BTW, shouldn't Daiku be allowed to have a say in this? The Rating System was his idea to begin with, you know. ToaAuserv ? ...BPAdmin 16:45, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm sure he would understand, he only helps out here because he thinks we need help, otherwise he'd be over at BS01. -- Panaka lego  23:04, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Toa Makao just made a really good point--the rating system is at least good for meting out punishment. If it's gone, we have to return to the inefficient "you get three warnings before you're blocked" system which is even more trouble to keep track of then a rating template.


 * Another change I just thought of that could make the rating system seem less pointless is at 15 points (or 20, or whatever full pointage would be) you get rollback powers. That way there's something to work for aside from a big number on your user page. ToaAuserv ? ...BPAdmin 17:07, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm listening... and thanks ;). But a big number on your user page is still something you can show off and use to set an example with. Toa Makao's fortress is located here   Dare to interrupt I, the Bohrok king   Why am I in trouble this time?
 * That's what the three day ban is for, no other wiki uses a system like this. And do we have somebody who can check every single user every month and give (or take) points? I don't think so, unless Kazi wants to do it. I want no part in the rating system if we do decide to keep it. -- Panaka lego  18:41, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

No matter, I'm sure there'll be another admin who wants your job Panaka. Toa Makao's fortress is located here  Dare to interrupt I, the Bohrok king   Why am I in trouble this time?

I don't know that Avlok's vote should count - he/she has only made three edits - Userpage, Kazi's talkpage, and this vote (which was the first edit made). I don't think that's enough time here to be considered part of the community. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 20:47, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree, but didn't I protect the page to keep this from happening? And are you back yet, Daiku? -- Panaka lego  21:46, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
