Can we *please* get the ability to optionally turn on email notification when someone votes on one of our articles, tips/tricks, and blog entries. This setting would be either in our profile (best choice) or in the article and tip submission wizards.

Just a notice that a vote has been cast? We can't send an email saying *who* voted.
What about if you post an article and 100 people suddenly vote for it? Wouldn't that be, well, kinda annoying?

Yeah, just that a vote was cast. I know you won't say who voted.

Well, it would be an opt-in thing. By default it would be off, and I assume they would always be able to turn it off later.

Looks like 8 points are being deducted if a message or answer is downvoted. Is this correct?
Atleast does not match with Reputation FAQ's!

Ok! That was what i thought of, just wanted to get confirmed. Not sure, if this needs a mention in FAQ to avoid any confusion. What say?
|
|
|
|
|
Yup.. we'll add it to the FAQ.

In that page, Minimum Score dropdownlist contains Scores "1, 2, 3, 4, 5" & i want scores "1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5" too. It will be fine for filtering search small range(ex. Displaying updates based on ratings between 4.5 and 5). thanks

I don't personally see any point in doing this.

I agree with John. Why would you want that sort of filtering?

I don't think this is of much help. Already the result shown for rating 4 & 5 are sorted from high to low. If you want to see only 4.5 to 5, just look at the top half till 4.5!
What say?

|

Yes, already the filter was fulfilled but i just thought it would be fine if that mentioned ratings also added in that combo. thanks.

Whenever we vote any particular question in Q&A section, the voting meter is not fully visible. Right margin cuts off around half of the voting statistics meter. Can be easily replicated.

I tried FF, IE 8, and Chrome and wasn't able to reproduce.

Below there is the question of what should be posted in the Lounge. I guess certain things are supposed to be posted in the Soapbox instead. How about we combine the Lounge/Soapbox/Back Room/etc into a single forum, but allow the user to select (from, say, a drop down) the rating they are willing to view? So, if I select "G", I see material that used to be for the Lounge. And if I pick "PG-13", I see material that would typically go into the Soapbox. And if I pick "R", I see material that would typically go in the Back Room (as well as the PG-13 and G material). Then, when posting a message, you allow the user to assign the rating when they post the message (it might default to G). After all, the Lounge (et al) is akin to a movie theater and Lounge messages are akin to movies. Why not give this form of entertainment a rating and allow users to decide what they want to see?
What does this solve, you might ask. I think one of the main reasons people don't post in the Soapbox (et al) is because they don't get as much exposure as the Lounge, so if the material is borderline, they choose the more visible forum to post in. If we were to combine them, the visibility would be very similar for the Lounge(G)/Soapbox(PG-13)/Back Room(R), so people would be free to choose level they'd like to see.
Oh, and when a member signs up, they are defaulted to a viewing rating of "G". Them discovering PG-13 and R would be akin to them discover the Soapbox and Back Room.
And you might consider checkboxes instead of a drop down. That way, people can target specific levels (e.g., if they only want to see the "juicy" stuff at the R rating). And, of course, you could choose whatever representation for the rating you like... the G/PG-13/R rating is just one off the top of my head that would seem clear to most movie watchers. You could also choose, for example, "Kid Sister Safe", "Dinner Party Safe", and "Not Safe".
And one more idea. When a person is viewing the Lounge in a certain rating, display the message at the top based on the rating. For example:
Lounge Header: You are currently viewing the Lounge in G mode. All material should be kid sister safe and safe for work. Any material you post in G mode should conform to these guidelines. If you would like to be exposed to a broader range of material, escalate your rating to PG-13 or, *gasp*, R. Be warned, though, some material posted under those modes may be offensive.
And perhaps you could default new posts to the user's viewing mode (instead of to "G" every time). So, if they are viewing "R" material, default the posts they make to "R" (but allow them to easily change the rating at time of composition). Anway, some of these ideas can be tweaked so it all works well, but that should give you a general idea of what I'm thinking.

I'm not sure I like it. Most people know what fits where, and they refer to the forums by their names. In your scheme, I expect many accidents to happen, and "I posted that in SoapBox" would now be "I posted that in Lounge-R" or something similar.
BTW: the rating scheme you refer to may be popular in some continents, it isn't universal.
If and when applied, your last paragraph (default post mode = current view mode), or something along those lines, seems a must.
