# Feb 16th 2009, 11:33 gwoo jperras: i thought i sent it to you
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:32 alkemann off course ppl may ha different oppinions than the mods
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:32 jperras good point. which is also why I'm waiting to do the ranking algorithms until I get the current ranking data
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:29 alkemann thats paraphrasing a little :)
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:29 alkemann sure, but as gwoo has pointed out about the current version. since u have to log in to rate. we get few ratings, usually by people that care and have a valid oppinion.
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:27 jperras however, if the articles are moderated, I'm guessing the ratings will usually be skewed towards the higher numbers
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:27 alkemann or how ever non hostile you would want to write it if u are nicer than me :p
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:27 jperras alright, I'll try and fit that in
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:26 alkemann jperras: btw, if u plan on doing something with ratings in the mock, it would be cool if it included what the ratings meant.. (ie 1 = This is garbage and shouldnt be here. 3 = This is a decent article. 5 = Best article on the subject, articles covering same topic should be removed)
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:26 jperras cool
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:24 alkemann jperras: good news is that you may get to make both since we may use the yes/no for behind the scenes moderation
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:23 jperras alright then, 1-5 it is.
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:23 alkemann well. anyways. about presidents and bjs..
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:22 alkemann i am brutally honest. its a character flaw
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:22 jperras I've learned that most of the time that intentions are usually honourable. so no worries alkemann
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:21 jperras since everyone takes them as attacks
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:21 jperras it's hard to give constructive criticism and opinions on the net
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:21 alkemann at least im consistent
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:20 jperras heh, don't worry about it. My internet filter works quite well ;-)
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:20 gwoo jperras: i like 1-5 too
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:20 gwoo alkemann: but you always are :P
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:20 gwoo haha
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:20 gwoo yes
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:20 alkemann I am a bit socially retarded.. was i terribly rude now?
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:19 alkemann i know. but im passing judgement in so far as that i answered your question with my oppinion :p
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:18 jperras I'm not trying to pass judgement on one rating system versus another, just get an idea of what is planned
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:18 alkemann -!+"
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:18 alkemann with rating u can compare two articles that dont cover the same topic. up/down you compare all articles on how is most popular. we can do that with "views!
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:17 alkemann i like the public rating of 1-5. articles being editable, you can try to improve it and ppl can rate again. up or down i more a popularity contest than a rating
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:16 jperras the two are independent
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:16 alkemann yes
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:16 gwoo alkemann: then we need the up/down for the "authorities"
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:16 jperras alkemann: of course not. but a site having a +1, -1 voting system does not make it digg
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:16 alkemann comedy!
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:16 jperras alkemann: yeah, I just needed a segueway to hijack the discussion ;-)
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:15 alkemann bakery is not digg
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:15 jperras gwoo: there's always the binomial scheme of "vote up" and "vote down", e.g. +1 and -1
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:15 alkemann here im not talking about the 1-5, but this behind the scenes publish or not system
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:15 alkemann if you need x amount of points before the article goes public, we could give different power of voting to different user types and for amount of accepted articles
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:15 gwoo what else do you suggest?
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:14 jperras i.e. rating of 1 to 5 stars
