TUS Discussion / A karma topic again !
« on: July 03, 2013, 08:03 PM »
Hello guys,
I was thinking about karma and how little significance it has on this site (watch someone like komo for example that has so many + and -). Also, a main flaw of it is that you don't have to justify of a + or a -.
Anyways, what can we do about karma then ?
To be honest not much I believe, the whole system is not appropriate I'd say for this game.
So what can be done then ?
I personally see two alternative that has been proven to work and could have a nice value in TUS website:
You get a trophy when you achieve something: Post one message in the forum, win a TUS single league, report a bug to moderator, suggest a feature to the website.
Actually reputation score use trophy as badges and enhance it with other features such as a general score. Think of it like stackoverflow or the super smash bross trophies or xbox live score.
Why would it be good for tus website ?
Mainly because badges has difficulties (elite,gold,silver,bronze) combined with a global score that would make people want to achieve them and bring people to maybe calm down a little on the forum but also new people that could achieve badges of general value for wa.
People often complained how hard it was for a user to know who achieve what (who won a lot of TUS single, who won lot of cups....). Now I provide you an already proven way of doing it. We could say for example that someone who goes to PO get a bronze badge, someone who win a season get a silver one and someone that win 2+ PO earn a gold one and someone that win 5+ earn a elite badge. Every time anyone post a topic you can see next to his nickname his general score and how many badges he got.
This could enhance the good player to want to play more in order to get badges but also a good behavior if it was rewarded such as giving special badge to special fair player that showed an act of fair play or the player that earned the annual voted fairest player award.
Moreover, we could add forum behavior badge but also offline game badge such as mission badges: you are currently the one that completed mission X the quickest.
To be honest, I am quite excited about it but it has to be unanimous because this require lot of work for MI if he wants to implement it as well as finding the badge and putting them in the good category (elite,gold...).
Note: This idea came from stackoverflow and xboxlive when I saw numbers of people helping other/achieve things only to get a high score and badges.
