Problem Rating
Well this is just a suggesion. Since alot of problems are not getting rated why not introduce a system like this
After a person has signed up why not introduce a system where the percentage of problems he rates after he has signed up is a qualification for him to become an apprentice, student, journeyman etc.
e.g - to become an apprentice you need to rate 60% of all problems on live after you have signed up
Since there will be a problem (When a person rates 1 problem off 2 its 50%, doesnt look too fair then) How bout introducing demotions onto flooble? that means the person would have to consistently rate problems. as soon as his percentage drops under a certain amount he becomes an apprentice or student etc, This way the person can rate again and get a higher user level. What do yyou think? |

Re: Problem Rating
Not sure about that one... The reason that ratings don't figure more into ranking than they do is because I didn't want people to be rating problems artificially, just to get an advancement. The reason that going from Novice to Student requires for you to have rated a problem is simply to show that you figured out that the site has this functionality, and you know how to use it.
If rating were beneficial to rank, people may end up ranking problems "just because", and that would cause the scores to become inaccurate.
Also, I think you misunderstand the purpose of ranks on the site. It is not supposed to be a competition of any kind, nor a reward. Quite simply, it is designed as a way for people who have shown that they can responsibly participate in the site to be able to do more. It is a way to have the site running in my absence. Once someone has reached a particular rank, they are entrusted witha certain amount of "power" over the site, and at the higher rank, this power spreads from their own problems to those of others.
In other words, you are not currently ranked a Journeyman as a reward for all the problems you have submitted, but because I know you will make good decisions about wether a problem belongs on the site or not. And that fact will not change if you decide to go away for a couple of months and stop participating.
Thus the idea of demotions would run counter to purpose of having ranks in the first place. |
