You should be able to rate the helpfulness of other posts and put the average there as well.

That sounds fair maybe a balanced component
Age / Helpfulness / Some other measures to make a total activity score

That turns into a popularity contest.

So what's wrong with that? Isn't that Reddit?

LMAO cause people vote with emotion, rather than knowledge.

I don't know, I like the way Reddit works. I even like the format. Besides this place is a fireball of emotion but also a seat of knowledge IF you are talking to the right person. You don't actually believe most of the dumbasses here that are Hero members actually know what they are talking about concerning Bitcoin do you? You still have the same group of carpet posters that you did before like Phin that just posts to post.

My favorite example of all these different tags was terrytibbs. He was a great very knowledgeable guy and wore a scammer tag for ages. You can't trust all these different fixes but you can fake out newbies into thinking they can trust them.

Hope it stops people from Spamming to Hero stat.
The formula creates no incentive for posting more than once a day (avg over two weeks), but even two posts per day would incentivize people to spam two posts per day in order to inflate their score. Activity seems to be resistant to manipulation, but not representative of all of a person's contributions. Only a legit poster would still keep posting above 1 post per day.

Thank you
So now you need to be active for:
- ~~more than a year to be hero~~ 7 Months
- ~~more than six months to be senior~~ 3.5 Months
- more than one month to be full member

I really like that

Fixed.

I completely agree with this. It was getting to be a bit confusing with all the guys who just post nonsense becoming Hero Members. Hero Members is a tag that people generally look too with some respect and appreciate the time they have spent on this forum and their knowledge of Bitcoin. It shouldn't be given out to everyone who likes to post a lot (whether it is spam or contributing). I was speaking with my buddy (longtime hero member) he was like damn two months and you're almost a hero member. I was like I know, I post a lot but damn that seems like a tag that shouldn't be given out after a couple short months.

Such a huge, huge step back. All we needed was more community reporting spamming and more moderation.

Instead we just get a random system that essentially says "old account or scammer, gg".

This is bullsh*t. If your going to do a post/activity ratio crap, you need to have both available next to the avatar. No one is just going to click your profile?

It's discrediting longtime forum members. Please Fix this immediately!!

Longtime forum member?? Who?

ROTFL

Edit: I love the fact that I can post only that ^ and no one can bitch that I'm only doing it for post count

I like the new system. No more post count stacking!

I do too. I think it's funny. Now can you still completely bypass the system by buying hero membership?

Yep.

And this doesn't fix the problem of people illegitimately raising post count, all it does is delay when they come of age and punish legitimate members like me along with them.

And yes, the only solution for me to prove my worthiness (even if I'm a scammer) is to donate. 10btc is probably a small price to pay when the rewards for a scammer are 100+ in one transaction.

But you have the new trust system too. That should stop scammers, right? No one would just buy the ability to scam or give false ratings like TF did. lol

Meh, I still don't think that why would anyone judge 'worthiness' using the amount of posts here, or even a buyable tag.

Only thing that might be a bit odd is how activity is counted; if I let my account sit for the next 6 months, should I expect to come back with my activity rating much higher than it is now?

No you need to post once every two weeks and have a mining computer that refreshes the page on the forum to jack up your time here.

You actually have to post an average of 14 times every two weeks (ave. once per day) since activity is the minimum of (time * 14) vs. posts.

Right but if you already have a lot of posts you just wait for your activity score to go up. Come back in 6 months or post once in a while to slowly increase your posts and let time do the rest.
