Show Off Those Popular Posts!


Guest

Recommended Posts

I have no idea if this is even possible or not, but I thought a cool addition to the profile pages could be a list of a users posts that have received enough brohoofs to get the "popular" star. This would be a way to show off the best of the best of their posting.

 

I know some people might dislike the idea because it could make some feel bad about not having popular posts, but then again you could say the same thing about the brohoof counter as well.

1 Thing to take into account, this site is not about being the best poster, I mean I don't have allot of bro hoofs but to be honest, I don't care, *shrugs* seems like a useless idea.

 

 

Lower right corner of forum page.

"Most brohoofed content"

http://mlpforums.com/best-content/

 

And we have that as well anyway

I realize this exists, but I meant something on a per user basis. Much like the list of items that the user themself brohoofs that can be found on their user profile.

I never intentioned for it to be about being the best poster, I just thought being able to quickly find such posts from someone would be a nice feature.

You could go to there profile and hit the topics button on the side, from there go to the top and hit find content, you can see topics that they have started and how many replies they have, perhaps a bro hoof organizer would be nice for those who cared

 

*Shrugs* I guess I just want to see people showing off there popular posts, even though thats not what your intentions are, other have different intentions, but maybe I am just jumping the gun

 

On your profile, if you click the "Brohoofs" tab, you can see a list of the posts you have received brohoofs for: http://mlpforums.com..._type__received

 

There you go

Hmmmm I see, I would support this idea, but if you notice only a select few members actually have at least one popular post, Feld0 has the most with what I think is 6+ while I only have one. If you were to count how many members actually have one, you'd probably only get maybe 15 or 20 out of 10000+ members, it wouldn't be widely used at all.

Hmm, I suppose it would be rather redundant with all of those in conjunction. Well thank you for the info and for listening all! :)

Honestly, I'd rather not see this done. The brohoof/popular post ranking system, if it were extended to that level, would feel to me like it's making too much out of something that ultimately does not actually indicate the actual quality level of a post. A post could receive a large number of bro hoofs for simply being the first to make a mildly amusing joke on the thread's subject matter, while a much more in depth response might be overlooked entirely, especially if the user is new. Just because a post receives brohoofs does not mean the post is high quality, and just because a post doesn't receive brohoofs does not mean it's not worth reading. Vice versa too: the system itself only indicates that people LIKE the post.

 

Thus, I'd rather not turn the forum into a repeat of high school experiences where the popular are held up over the masses.

I was under the impression that once a person reaches 5,000 brohoofs, Feld0 would fly out to visit them and host a party for the user and 10 of their friends while wearing a Twilight Sparkle suit.

 

If this is true, then brohoofs are TOTALLY important. If not true, then my life has no meaning. /kidding

I only have one popular post. all it says is "All of them..." makes no sence out of context.

It's something of relevant importance, and it's pretty easy to obtain if you have a decent amount of humor/skill and come in at the right time. As it's been proven to me before, brohoofs/ likes are more for fun then anything, and anypony who feels bad about that sort of stuff takes forums way to seriously.

I think this is a great idea, for I want to see the popular posts I have. Only for myself, not to "show off" to other people.

 

If they show brohooves, why not popular posts?

Where the hell is my party.

Eh. Feel like I'm the only staff and one of the only members overall who's seeing the positive side to this more than the negative. Oh well.

-Insert whiny explanation about how brohooves overall does not list popular posts specifically, and thus isn't convenient enough to satisfy my lazy needs-

 

I dunno, maybe it sounded better in my head, but I still don't think it's a completely worthless idea.

No, actually it doesn't. http://mlpforums.com/public/style_emoticons/default/dry.png

 

Because all popular posts are impossible to find in there, especially when you got over 1000+ brohoofed posts, it isn't easy to find anything in that list.

 

And I'd like to see a feature where I can see only my "popular" posts..

 

@~Chaotic Discord~, let's whine about this together and it might be added! :lol:

Hear, hear! The feature mentioned by people previously is pretty moot on actually letting you see any of the popular posts. Its rather inefficient. I would like to see something more user specific happen.

Why am I always forgotten. :( Well, I should mention that I'm kind of the reason why this topic is brought up again, lol.
