Attention! Discussion on the issue of a minimum rating is closed due to the fact that this idea has more disadvantages than advantages. During the discussion, a number of interesting ideas were proposed from several site users. Therefore, I invite everyone to follow this link, vote and take part in a new discussion. Let me remind you once again that you are invited to participate ALL users, regardless of rating, blog activity, etc.d.
Good afternoon, friends.
Summer is in full swing and SG blogs are not going through the best of times. Every day, not the best representatives of humanity dump their “high-quality creations” here for the purpose of advertising and gaining views. The blogs of these unfortunate authors are designed as poorly as possible and in 99% of cases the proposed content is also on the bottom. I’m not pleased to see this. I’m tired of. I propose to increase the required minimum rating to allow users to publish a topic on blogs.
The essence of the reform I proposed is to raise the minimum rating required for publication to an adequate minimum value. It seems to me that +0.30 will be quite enough. This will oblige new users, whether adequate or not, to familiarize themselves with the site and come into contact with the community. This will significantly reduce the influx of junk topics on blogs. At the same time, for adequate beginners who want to become full-fledged members of the community, there will be no problems with gaining the required number of pluses.
Similar schemes are used in at least https://velvetbingocasino.co.uk/mobile-app/ several forums and in general the scheme is quite working. In addition to websites, a similar scheme is present on many pirated servers of popular MMOs. Using the example of pirate WoW servers: on many servers, players do not have access to chat when their character level is low. This way, most of the advertising bots clogging up the chat are eliminated. At the same time, newcomers are free to use private messages to interact with other players.
Of course, if you increase the minimum rating, the site will lose some of the revenue from ad views. However, I don’t think the loss will be noticeable.
I invite all users to vote and express their opinion on this matter.
Results of the first day of discussions.
And so, friends. During heated discussions, several proposals were made to improve the quality of blogs.
First — pre-moderation idea from user Batman. The idea is mandatory pre-moderation (review of the blog by a moderator before publishing) of all topics for new community members. Guided by the rules of the site, the moderator must allow or not allow the topic to be published. The user will be informed about the results of pre-moderation via a personal message sent automatically.
Second — creation of automatic distribution of messages that will describe in as much detail as possible all the rules of publication and possible penalties for violating them. I can’t find who suggested this.
Third — increasing the required minimum rating for publication. Description of the idea above.
Fourth — the idea of introducing restrictions on the number of publications per day from the user vladforn. Yuzver proposes to introduce a daily publication limit, depending on the user’s rating. Accordingly, as the user’s rating increases, the permissible daily number of publications also increases.
I remind you that the discussion is ongoing and I encourage everyone, without exception, to actively participate in the discussion, offer their options, support and discuss the options of other users.
