Well who's going to like a bunch of posts with URL inserts leading to knock off Viagras or whatever it is this day ha ha. (Seems one of them is this now: I know your password! It's *Super old password not used since the last decade or so* ) From my understanding a whole ton of these are pressed sugar and what not anyway so the only thing being raised is the blood sugar level not the users like count. Don't know a good solution though but I'd say time and post count seems like a solid deterrent for a majority of the remaining spam problems. ...Actually I might be in the wrong topic about that, this doesn't have that yellow tag alert. EDIT: Ah tabbed browsing and it's many benefits and a few of it's potential issues!
Well if eclap hadn't been banned he'd probably have the highest post count by now. I think he had 30k+ already. (And this wasn't a masked plea to unban, just something I remembered.) As for ranking neither post count or like count is flawless as basis I think. From those post count is perhaps better. Not least because Guru3D didn't have a like system until 2017.
G3d has a like system way back in like 2004/5, it was disabled for some reason before being re-enabled when you said Here's a like I got in 2005
It's crazy looking at your account and site creation date thinking this was before Lord of the Rings release date, as well as thinking of mine in 2001 reading those titles. Oh the memories. I think I remember signing up to this place in college.
I'll say it. There was a time when post count was important or relevant. Now, the only thing that matters is the quality of someone's post. Politeness, open mindedness, quick wit and reliable information. And know how and when to make a joke and keep political nonsense away.
Politeness, open mindedness, quick wit and reliable information. And know how and when to make a joke and keep political nonsense away Definitely, by that logic I should be a darn god guru J/k and admit, not always polite but even then I try to keep my satirical wit about me and avoid personal insults. In other words circumvent forum rules very annoyingly so can't exactly be punished either On topic you're right, that's what should matter. And does matter. Regardless of "rank".
Likes can be re-purposed in such way: isolate likes by the main forum categories - "General chat", "Videocards","Hardware", "General" - and then any guru posting in subforum will display (only) likes earned in that subforum category. That way you will always see the "like" rank relevant to the topic of the subforum.
I have a ways to go until maha, it took me a long time to get this far. Master sounds better anyway. I am a master of...something.
