You mean I should get DeGraussed?
Oh, no. That's Degaussed, isn't it?

Degraussing hasn't been documented yet in Wikipedia[^]. Seems not to work for everyone yet.

Nish and I were discussing how it gains a user many more points to answer questions over a week's time than it does do write an article during that same week, and that's basis for this suggestion.
How about awarding points for an article *view count*. Nish suggested 50-100 points for every 500 views accumulated. Of course, you'd probably have to not count views by the article's author (to keep said author from gaming the system)...
EDIT =======================
On the other hand, maybe 50 points would be a bit much... Maybe 20 points/500 views on articles, and 10 points per 500 views on tips/blogs.

And what happens why a spider gets stuck on the aritcle, like we have seen in the Q&A's?
You would have to cater for them also, and in the end it just creates an administrative nightmare i would have thought.

Spiders usually get at the better articles, and I don't think it's a common enough event to be worried about. CP also has blocks against spider-ing I am sure.
|
|
|
|
|
You are talking of view by just-anyone or view by logged-in users/members only?
|
|
|
|
|

I don't think that will work (for the reason that bots are often used to browse the article pages, as cited by someone above). It would have to be restricted to a certain number of views per day, and/or views by logged-on users.

I am pretty sure that only a fractional percentage of views are from logged in members. Most people hit upon an article via Google/Bing, and they don;t bother signing up (unless they absolutely have to download the zip files).
So being logged in should not be a criteria. But there should be checks in place to only count one view per unique IP per day (for not logged in visitors). That would solve the bots/spidering issue.
|
|
|
|
|
I don't get it. Why not just recommend that the points for submitting an article be increased? Or do you & Nish have a "You view mine, and I'll view yours" thing going?
Seriously, why not go with KISS?
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not keen on this idea because it gives authors points regardless of the quality of the article. Add to that the blatant hole we'd open for abuse.

This[^] Tip/Trick seems to be attracting more than it's fair share of idiots.

It took me a second to figure out what you meant, but now that I have I agree.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

You seem to be easily attracted by articles you don't like. I would be careful when assigning epithets.

In older versions of the forum when the page was loading really slowly (eg 1 message line/second) if you clicked on any messages before the load finished it restarted loading the entire page. This only made things worse so I always twiddled my thumbs when the hamster wheels needed oiled; but a few minutes ago I forgot and clicked a post and had it open without triggering a page reload.
