I set it to 1 day edit window, I can extend that to a week if everyone thinks thats more appropriate. But you cant edit other posts apart from the last one? I dont think there is a setting for that. Can you please try it out, like post twice here and try to edit the first one? Thanks. Just realized this will affect my topics like this one where I track the VS Shoots and update as the month goes along to keep things clean. I understand the issue, but am wondering how long you would be willing to extend the editing window for? Also if it's not too much trouble, if a staff could delete the posts I made tonight in that thread. I forgot I wouldn't be able to edit them and made them to "save" the posts, but it'll look cluttered now if I can't edit them when those dates come up. Thank you.

January 10, 20187 yr People should see which members have voted on a post. I can already see that “confused” will be used to discredit someone’s post.

We are discussing that internally, I prefer the anonymous as less feelings get hurt. Also regarding the confused, we can remove any emoji that we dont like. I think as long as they are mostly positive ones (or neutral) hopefully no one will get upset. But I guess we shall see.
January 10, 20187 yr ^ I have used forums where liking and reputation went smoothly and other forums where things were awkward (or worse). It really depends on the members and how they use it and deal with it. I have never really worried about it on previous forums, but it's hard to predict what will happen with everyone.
January 11, 20187 yr Just now, Sanni said: How does the reputation system work? My guess is that it probably works like "likes with emotions" on Facebook. Every emotion even the angry face (FB), sad face (BZ) still counts as a like...?

I think maybe the more negative ones don’t count because I know at least one member got more “confused” reactions than what their reputation count is.

But I also wouldn't see sad/confused as a negative emotions towards the poster, I rather see it for example in bad news (model xyz announced to leave VS) -> my personal emotion would than be sad but as I said, not to discredit the poster rather than being sad about these news imo.

Check the Official VS thread It's being used in a shady way. Especially since the emoticon shows one eye that bugs out.

I see... one user got plenty "confused" 10 to be exact and 3 "likes". the users reputation is 3 tho, which means there is no negative count or subtraction happening. So I wouldn't worry too much your count can only go up but not down, well not exactly...* I see two options: Vote and Emotion. Vote being: Trophy +1 ; Like +1 ; No Vote At All +/-0 --> appreciation/neutral Emotion being: Haha ; Confused ; Sad --> only neutral the only negative vote I know so far is the one on YouTube "thumbs down" I personally still can't see any negativity in that option imo. It would concern me more if I never get any reaction at all, I mean getting reactions, appreciation or emotions only shows that the user is obviously an active member of the community. On the other hand someone without any reaction is probably not as active or maybe just leeching/lurking. *...The only thing I would worry about is the fact that you can revoke your Vote (I don't know if there is a time window set or not) which means that theoretically user A gave user B many Likes/Thanks and after a certain time they have a dispute and user A revokes every Likes/Thanks he/she has given user B, which causes user B in a declining community reputation.

Regarding to your request to be able to see who has voted and what, I want to show you two examples why I think that being able to vote anonymous is actually a good thing. (prevents unnecessary drama, provides more honest opinions) You probably know the "polls" on Twitter and Instagram? 1.) - On Twitter: I can vote anonymously and there for give an honest answer/vote without having to fear the OP of the poll will "punish" me react negative exclusively to me... - On Instagram: Voters are not anonymous, the OP of the poll can see who who voted for what. I personally encountered users that were so dissatisfied with the result of the poll that they literally blocked everyone who voted "no"... Another user went so far as publicly expose the persons who voted "no" and called their followers to report those voters... So knowing that a user knows what I voted for, kind of deters me to always give an honest answer. i.e I am following someone I really like, that person recently dyed their hair black and now wants to know if their followers like their new hair. If I would be honest and vote that I dislike the new hair, the user would then see it and might "punish" me etc. To keep the peace or not to bring myself into disrepute with that person, I would then rather lie and give a false answer/vote. 2.) - In North Korea, people can vote yes or no to their leader. Voting results are 100% yes because the election is not anonymous. The community reputation is still in its infancy, we'll have to wait and see how it goes. I would rather not know who dislikes me or my content. "ignorance is bliss" sorry for the long text...
January 11, 20187 yr I was hoping that a voting system would be a short-hand way of saying “thanks” to someone. (Think of upvoting on Disqus) Now you still have to write a reply to show that you’ve acknowledged their post.

I don't know why there is a "thanks" and a "like", for me it's the same thing tbh. ah you want to see who thanked you? Edited January 11, 20187 yr by Charlie's Alter Ego
