Blog updates and stuff

[Vicke 3,189]

Hello! 

 

 

So becoming the Number one blogger i've decided to let out a few ideas on how to improve the blogs and other random stuff. 

 

---

Lets begin with my main issue.

The rating system.

 

The Rating system is broken, way to broken. 

Like with the old Youtube rating you get to choose between 1-5 stars on how good the entry is. A fine mechanic. But not when its broken like this. 

 

Lets say Feld0 is Rated #1. He has only receives 5 stars so far and that's why he is on the top. 

I can make it sour for him and give him 1 star on 1 entry and he will no longer not even be in top 10.

Is this a big issue? Well, yes and no. It depends on who you are asking really. 

 

How can this be fixed and improved? 

Well, how about you gain the stars? 

As in, lets say someone rates my entry with 1 star. Instead of cursing me from reaching top 10 it gives me 1 star more then i already had. So lets say i had 10 stars, and #10 and 11. I gain a rating of 2 stars from someone and in the end i no have 12 stars. I now get to be #10 rated. Get my point?

 

If not, then just remove the whole Top 10 rated blogs because as of now, there is no point at all to have it.

Another issue i have with the blogs is the limits that get put on the creators. 

We can remove and edit everyone's posts but we can't hide them? Odd if you ask me.
Other remove that option or make it so that we can hide other comment, its more usefull than you think.

Since we can follow other bloggers, why can't we hide others?
I am slightly annoyed to see some people make 4 entries in a row about Trixie or some meme.

Thats all, for now anyways xD

I like the idea of getting rid of the top 10 all together.

 

I'm pretty sure most don't care about it at all.

I didn't even know it existed.

So fixing the problem seems like it would be a waste of effort.

Also, I think being able to hide certain people's blogs would be a good thing.

 

Or, if that's not a great suggestion in the eyes of the F3ldo, perhaps we could do with the blogs like we do with status updates; only one entry per user can be on the recent blogs list, unless we're on the full "recent blogs" page.

 

It'd be just like status updates, really.

 

Having 4 entries all of the same person in the mini front page feed is annoying, and I'm too lazy/apathetic to sift through the full page of recent blogs, so... yeh. :v

I agree

 

But I don't really understand how the star system works now, is it average rating based? (Ratings / n) ?
