BuzzerBeater Forums

LOL, not true but funny.

I post fairly often, but found that alot of threads died because people feared the ' 1 ballerz'. For the record I do not post as much as Naker, he is a freak of nature and must have blisters on his fingers :)

BTW- 1 ballerz would be a sweet team name!!

I have to wear gloves to make sure I don't wear out my fingers :P

Frankly, these forums aren't very inviting. A more open and clean forum would be conducive to increased activity and who knows where that would lead.

What you mean with clean? Kukoc is banned with the new system?

I'M JOKING

Yawn

90% of internet forums list the user's post count but don't include any sort of rating system. BB is special :p

Yes but if we had post counts, only then can we see evidence of Edju having no life.

The new system is clearly better than the old system, but it doesn't really make a difference as it doesn't matter. I'm with some of the other guys who think a different forum software would be better. The only downside is that if you use a different forum software you might not be able to incorporate the country and division a team is in. Other than that, new forums would allow for a much easier feel.
I think a better system than this one that I've seen on some forums is the "reputation" system. People can either like or dislike your post. The affected user can see who did what and for which posts of his. Then, based on the user's reputation that repped the other guy, the other guy's reputation is affected.

In other words, A has a 6 reputation. A likes B's post. B's reputation goes up to 2. However if A only has 1 reputation, B's reputation only goes up a fraction.

It's a good system imo, but again, Balls/Reputation/Karma/Post Count is all useless. Honestly, when I want to know if I should trust one's advice I just look at what division they're in and how much I've agreed with them in the past as the BB community on the forums is quite small.

I'm still here lol! I can feel the fanboys pulling out their hair:) I sence a "giff back negative rating chance, it's all I do while browsing forums" suggestion coming soon!!!

I totally accept this kind of liking :D Cause I always had average about 2-3 LOL

I just realized that with the new system I will never reach my goal of descending to 3 balls or lower. It is a real tragedy.

May I ask why we need thous balls in the first place? I never seen any use for this and I did not give a damn if I got 5 ball or 1 ball. :s Just wondering...
