Because the member levels are still fun, and there are people that like them.

Anyway, if that's what you want, then you want option 3 in the poll.

i choose maemo style. So, I'm a Gregale. Yay!

Re: Member levels, let's decide
 

I didn't say it's what I want, I just wanted to know what this so-called "goal" was that you were referring to. Now I see, it's fun. I'm all for that.

Plus, if we went the hairs-on-head route, we might find ourselves endlessly debating sorites paradoxes, and that's not good for anyone! (and it's especially bad for that unfortunate Barber who shaves all and only men who do not shave themselves).

How about peer review? members could give other members votes for troll, jedi, helpful, spectator, etc. Earn your geek cred in the eyes of your peers.

Re: Member levels, let's decide
 

People should still be allowed to vote for no change, no matter how "wrong" it is.

Re: Member levels, let's decide
 

I'm not sure that being a geek would equate to cred under a peer review system.*

(*Yet another lesson I have learned from reading The Life and History of General Antilles.)

To an extent, we already have this. See the hearts and thumbs on qgil's profile.

Re: Member levels, let's decide
 

i agree with GA on this one. consider the previous discussion like the primaries and this is the actual election. if you don't like any of these 3 choices, then either you missed out on the original thread or there just aren't a whole lot of people that agree with you.

so... if you think the system should remain unchanged, please read the original discussion, and vote here for "the lesser" (lessest?) of these 3 "evils". :) GA's making the assumption that, if a "no change" option was present, not many people would vote for it anyway, so consider this a chance to make your vote count instead of getting wasted on an unpopular choice.

the maemo.org setup looks good to me, except (i never use the maemo.org forum, so...) what determines your star rating?

Re: Member levels, let's decide
 

why level...

this poll look conspiracy lol

but seriously...level help for categorized how you active...so i can post a noob frenchy post everyday and be a dump...or inverse...

In fact, i never like LEVEL or any others distinction on forums...specialy if this forum talk about freedome anywhere...

Death to all discrimination (yes, make a level side always made some issue)

Why not everybody be Harmattan Supper Duper and be considered...

this is just my free opinion from Quebec.

Woot

Re: Member levels, let's decide
 

The exact metrics used in the maemo.org profile would have to be determined later. Don't read into what's in the mockup as far as user ratings too much (karma, stars, thumbs, etc.).
