Then you'd get loads of new people grouping in PMs to expunge and rename random galleries, breaking the rules to get points?

Don't they already do that? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I'm not crazy about being able to rate uploaders/users. I mean, what are you supposed to rate about them? Galleries are hardly rated as it is, and I think an uploader rating might be dumbed down to "I like this person/I don't like this person" rather than actually rating whatever they're supposed to. And if it "works as intended," it might discourage uploads of old and poor quality stuff, or fetishes and artists that are less appealing to the larger userbase.

I don't know—I just don't see what would determine these ratings, and what effect it'll have beyond the userpage.

I couldn't care less about top list rewards being worthwhile or not. (No opinion).

I do like the idea of being able to see personal ratings, and I think it'd boost the usage of the rating system. I don't see it exactly the way Phaos described it, but if you could see your own rating under the average rating, there would actually be a nice reason to rate galleries.

It would also be nice if you could change your rating (but not remove it). I'll admit that I've accidentally clicked it when swapping tabs or scrolling down, and I constantly see people voting 1 on to-be-expunged galleries (probably to earn an extra point, but sometimes, these galleries end up not getting expunged). Hey, I was sure it told me I had already rated when doing that. Perhaps I've mixed it up with another site... Well, scratch that.

Sorry for the semi-long post with no new ideas.

You can.

Do we really need any rewards for the toplists at all?

This.

I have no idea if it's hard to make changes on the tagging system as it is now, but there are two things I'd like to see added to it, if not redesigned completely.

• Categories: Like the various boorus and similar image boards, be able to mark a tag with a category, like "character" or "series," but also unlike boorus, allow for a tag to be identical to another. This way, there could be "Series: Naruto" and "Character: Naruto" (examples for simplicity, I know this particular case could be "solved" with "Naruto" vs. "Uzumaki Naruto").
• Tag weights: Allow for a tag to be marked as a minor content indicator. This would be useful, because the current tagging consensus is to get rid of all tags that are not prevalent. Being able to weigh tags as less relevant would allow everything that is present to be tagged and searched, but creates a possible threshold for those who are only after the prevalent ones.

If it could be redesigned from scratch, I'd make a longer post about what could be done, but I don't see that happening at all (since it would probably wipe most current tags).

Related to this, I've long wished for a way to specify the tag power threshold in the advanced search options (or on the settings page). It would be useful for finding the galleries most relevant to your interests.

I don't think you'll find anything if you increase it. I often find myself using deep tag search to find what I'm looking for, since good tags often have less than 10 rating. The only tags that currently get rated up are "translated," "english," "big breasts," "artist name," "circle name," "yaoi" and "anal" (+lolicon, shotacon, incest). Might not be completely accurate, but it's not far from the truth.

I'm not against adding a custom power threshold though, but I'd like to point out that I didn't want weights as I suggested them to be based on power. They would just be set on a tag, regardless of its power, to denote that it's not something that occurs a lot.

Right. It could also be used in reverse to weed out low-powered, irrelevant tags.

This might be more useful on the administrative side but possibly adding something to indicate if a report has been submitted on a gallery.

On the user side it might be useful to see if someone has reported for those image sets that have a few prohibited images. It would cut down on the number of reports to go through on the administrative side.

Having just wasted 10k credits by placing an auction in credits instead of GP, it would be nice if an auction could be cancelled (with the deposit refunded). To prevent abuse, the cancellation should be possible only for an hour after placement and if no bids were made.

Also, I think I mentioned this before, but a toplist for EHWiki activity would be nice. It shouldn't be more abusable than most current toplists, and people spamming wiki with useless changes can be easily spotted here (probably much more easily than people trying to spam most other toplists).

It asks you to confirm right?

This is an awful idea.

So? Making it more user friendly is usually the good solution. Even a warning does not prevent people from making errors.

Brilliant argument, as always, yet again I seem to be missing a point in your oh-so-detailed explanation as to why.

It would be so easy to abuse.
Suppose I'm adding a page.
I could update it and save it in a million parts and thus have a million updates to my credit.
Thing is, you can't actually say I'm abusing the system if I do that because I can justify it by wanting to save/test my work.

There are also questions as to what constitutes a meaningful change.

That's hardly a plausible justification... and we would see through it.

What constitutes a meaningful change... well, we can discuss it in the official wiki thread if needed, and if we decide that somebody is abusing the system, we ask Ten to exclude them from the toplist.

There's no such thing as an idiot-proof site, if you make it, someone will just make a better idiot.

I never said this was an idiot-proof solution. But reducing the number of idiot stumbling blocks in the system is usually a good design direction, particularly when you can achieve this without making the system more cumbersome to non-idiots. And my proposed change would have no impact on anybody currently using auctions, as the interface on their end would not change at all.

When using the 'By Favorites [sic]' advanced search option, what's the point of 'All Galleries'? Wouldn't it be better if 'Favorite [sic] Galleries' was the default?

Proubably [sic].

This is a forum feature

"Yes i know this is about galleries but i didn't wanna make a topic about something this small"

This is a little bit of a shot in the dark but. "lurkers" shouldn't have the ability to hand out karma.
its kinda cool how random lurkers just hand out neg karma while they don't have any posts.

because i love wasting credits and waiting 6 hours to train atonement then another fucker comes along and randomly "Negative imbues" me for no reason.

and i'm sure others have had the same problem.
