I have a few idea, but perhaps we can use your "like" count as a way to pay to post them. Again is this worth the time, probably not, but would make things more fun. People with thousands of reputation points it would cost like 500 points to post one where people with 50 or less it would cost 1 point. It will make earning those likes really worth something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Since my previous comment was deleted for some unknown reason, here's what the bottom half should've said: Brickfolio 1. Would it be possible to "mass-edit" inventory items by say, using a drop-down box for quantity at the end of each row then clicking "Submit" at the bottom? It's just that I'm bone idle and it takes too long to edit quantity individually. 2. Are current values worked out by using the average Worldwide sold prices on eBay/Amazon and do they account for selling fees? I ask as the values for most of my sets appear to be quite inaccurate. Please note that my "Quick Flipping" sets are not in my Brickfolio as the amounts change nearly daily. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TANV Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 @Jeff Mack, is there going to be a limit on the number of downvotes per post OR per person? Or is their simply no bottom? There can be a noticeable snowball effect as a positive upvote starts to get noticed. The same is true for the faster for the downvoting as well. I think a cap might be needed just to prevent excessive trolling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just put this back to the way it was if we feel that people can't be mature about. If a post sucks, it sucks, you can't polish a turd. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wish I could give you two upvotes for the reasoning and the current meta reference there. Here, have one of these instead! ⭐ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm... I think a well-known toy company already does that. With the Postive/Negative "Hearts", how about say, >25 positives puts the comment in bold font to divert attention to an important post and >10 negatives simply deletes it? I used to do something similar in a social activity forum in my last job and it stopped a lot of trolling in its tracks. This would then save the mods from deleting a lot of comments and perhaps mine can stay up for at least 5 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be a master troll on the Yahoo news forum and if you had a high negative "score", your comment would be hidden meaning that more and more people would click "unhide" to view it out of curiosity. I once reached the maximum 999 "hates" on their website and there's no way that I can ever reveal what I typed that day on here! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskers1236 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Jeff, one thing that a Husker board I'm a member of has is that after so many upvotes the whole post is tinted yellow. After even more upvotes it gets a deeper yellow. It allows folks to scan a thread that may have a lot of posts and see what is pertinent info and what is junk. Anything with like 5 downvotes would get collapsed as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbee Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I'd happily pay for premium membership. I'd pay even more for a meme-free site.Can I get a thumb down option?=) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil B Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) Sorry to be a dissonant but not liking the new like/dislike functionality. Likes have suddenly become anonymous. I liked it that you could see who liked what post - sort of trolling-protection (especially now that you can give dislikes). It made the site feel much more like a close-knit community versus a run-of-the-mill anonymous internet board. Unless I'm missing something and this info is still out there.
