Quality Index - Determining users' content quality

[bitmover]

This index will be updated every now and then, by me, global mods and president / vice president
Each time the last 20-50 posts will be taken in consideration

It is a bad idea to give so much power to admin and moderators, and I don't see how this can improve quality of the posts in any way.
If you want to reduce number of posts unrelated with crypto than you should delete and unite some boards and topics in Further Discussions.
I am against this proposal, and I think this would only create more confusion in forum.

If admin disable signatures in boards not related to crypto, we will see an increase in activity in crypto related boards for sure.

This could be an idea to reduce posts about offtopic discussions

Correct, but that would not solve the problem, that would only move the problem from one place to another, from my point of view. If the administrator disables signatures on a given board, many users will stop posting to that board. As you know, there are some sections of the forum where posts are not counted and are not used to increase ranks, but eliminating signatures to "move" traffic to certain boards does not seem like the solution to me. As I said in my previous post, incentivizing with Karma (if it is possible to automate the process it would be much better) and forum tokens could be another possible solution to this.

i'm in a politico-philosophical mood today
this issue which replicates in real life
can be only resolved in 2 ways:
strong capitalist incentive
tough dictatorship approach

and funny enough, the entire word swings one way or the other, either countries are super capitalist or there are a lot of rules

I ask if the thread is open for discussion because it seems to be a very debatable matter.

This will lead to the opposite effect of increasing technical spam and having less discussions on General crypto topics.


As if I created all posts in Non crypto related topics, this does not mean that the quality of posts is low or spam.


In short, classifying the quality of posts based on the boards will be bad, it is better to rely on decentralized things like +Karma, quality bar, and voting.

+1 by my side

There is only one technical board, all the rest are non-technical discussions, and there is not much activity there.

The method of implementation itself is also a rather bad idea because it is centralized, it will be based on some personal opinions. At the same time, an additional burden for the administration, I assume that you will have to go through all the posts of all active members during the month. That's thousands of posts.
I am very sure that there are much more important tasks to improve the forum that could be devoted to time

Probably is okay to add the expert badge to someone who has proven technical knowledge, but tagging someone because he doesn't know how to sign a message on an address is a pretty bad thing.

Wouldn't it be better to improve the already existing karma system? If it were visible which post received more karma (+ or -) points, it would be obvious to everyone what the quality of the post or the user who wrote it is.

this is exactly my point,
most users on this forum jump on each opportunity to discuss anything .... except crypto
our forum is flooded with low quality content because of that
if more than half your posts are about something other than crypto > it really indicates you are reaching for the low hanging fruits
yeah sure, let's discuss a forum policy, it's much easier than learning and discussing what mainnet was launched, or what regulation or license was done concerning crypto ..
when i created the shit post badge i wanted to give it to many users, but reconsidered as that would penalise them signature wise.

Those low quality threads should be locked or deleted even if nobody has reported them and if a moderator sees them. And if you go ahead with this content then you restrict users from many boards because not everyone can discuss fluently in those designated boards and once they are force to make comments in those boards then you will see garbage posts in those boards. Therefore the best way is to allow everyone to post around the forum. And let those who are good in specific boards should also post and that is the liberty you have been preaching.

But you know what kind of post increase we are going to see... certainly not anything constructive and good, if they all just move from those boards to crypto related.
I am not saying disabling signatures in some boards is a bad idea, but it won't solve the problem of content quality.
If you want quality discussion you need to have different opinions, and people that don't agree, not everyone writing nice things.

You also need knowledge people participating in the discussions.
I think we have that here, and more reputable members from bitcointalk are still coming.

I think it is hard to find the good discussions that are happening here.. so many boards..  but I know they exist

I agree that disabling signatures would only move spam to another part of the forum. It's not a solution. I am not even in favour of any kind of "punishment" or labelling of those who did not write about technical matters.

I'm more in favour of some form of rewarding those who have contributed to quality. For example, every month, one or two "highest quality" members in that period would receive a temporary quality badge and an additional +10 karma points. Of course, the karma system would have to be improved for rewarding karma to have value.

Also, creators of quality themes should be additionally rewarded, with points, badges, whatever. Later such points could be converted into ALTT tokens. That would certainly help

I think inflow of new quality members stopped a while ago, and good discussion is harder to find in any forum these days.
Few members I know joined this forum but they are not very active.

PS
Tell me what is that new D.TEAM badge in your profile, and in some other members?
You have some fancy new role in forum?

Interesting, decentralized team role
I didn't saw that topic before but I see it has something to do with reports and help cleaning the forum.
It would be nice if we could see our reports in similar way like we can do it bitcointalk forum.
