Issues with ModdB Version 4 Thread

If you ever notice this stuff hit me on msn, so i can confirm it, and remove it.

It only emails intense atm and doesn’t go into the aW like it used to and he’s busy with moty, forums...there’s also no pm system so msn/ emails really the only way to go... till these features are up and running.

I noticed this already in the beta but the remark got dumped. Not sure but somebody said it's meant to be like this. WTF?!

I've noticed some odd markings down in the votes system that look like bugs. Someone in my blog was given -1 for asking a question and giving general praise, and someone in the ModDB Oldtimers group got -1 for asking a question too.

Either that or it's random malicious voting?

Duplicate front page news items:
Moddb.com
Moddb.com

Auther's need to check that things aren't duplicated!

Anyone can down vote anyone's post - but it takes 2 people to bury a post.

Active tracking of malicious voters is something we are working on.

Yeah, I think so too. I noticed that my influence value for example dropped suddenly from over 90% down to 50%... for doing nothing . Looks like somebody is roaming around trying to check out how he can break the system.

The forums seem to be reverting back to V3 appearance - is there any way to change a signature?

I dunno whether the Influence/Karma is still bugged or whatever, because after a few haters when I posted my opinion in the Black Mesa news post, mine plummeted to 1% Karma and 63% negative influence. Amazing how you can add a tonne of content, write a popular article, link a bunch of stuff, auth tutorials and groups and everything... yet a couple of people dislike what you say and suddenly you're the ass and of the community.

2 votes is ridiculous to bury a post. The comment system still needs massive changes before its actually decent... burying something shouldn't be so easy, comments should be able to be reported, deleted and modified etc. In a community full of idiots who can't take a bit of negativity, anyone can get screwed over so easily.

The new forums haven't been coded yet. Its not 'reverting', its intentionally that way so there still are forums. Theres currently no way to change signatures for the forums

Is there a reset planed by the way? Simply asking since the system has been already misused so much that representative figures are impossible to obtain for a very long time.

it would seem only when i actually need to delete the post of what i can only assume is a 12 year old fanboy in the comments of my mod do i find i can do nothing but give him a bad mark?!?! what the hell? its my mod and mod page, i dont need people running a much posting random garbage over it! why cant i moderate?

Yeah, I think disallowing team leaders the privs to delete comments is a good move. Many, many leaders would use it just to delete negative posts and it can really end up in a serious shitfight. AFAIK, there are plans to implement reporting functionality, so if you have a problem with someones comment, you can report it and it will be reviewed by a Moderator.

If enough people report a comment (It's worked out based on karma, activity, the comment's score etc) then we get a flag up to review it for deletion. However, other comments are only moderated by the score system. If a post is buried it's been rated as -1 or below by the community, which basically keeps the comments which the community think are 'good' in view and the 'bad' ones being squished.
