Special Rankings

Post by erik »

Here is a suggestion: Every week, the mods pick one person from all the people who submitted songs that week and let them have a special ranking of their choosing, for one week.

That' s neat prize!! Might be hard to admin though... you could just give them the songfight trophy as their avatar too for the week... OR both!!!

Seems like such a system would be used primarily for getting rid of trolls (i.e., picking some bastard and labeling him "Troll" for the week).

Oh, yeah, baby. perhaps we could all have a little 'They love me, they really love me' hat as well .... and then we can show everyone how remarkably unfunny we are with some obtuse self-defined ranking in-joke nonsense.

If that's not gay, I don't know what is. And I should know.

It might be neat to base rankings on number of posts that contain reviews, rather than number of posts. Also, whatever gets done, j$ should stay "Enemy of Progress," because that is hilarious.

Intruiging but rather biased and also i would imagine very time-consuming to implement.

When I reach 1,000 posts, I hope to become 'Enemy of the People'.

Off topic but: The punk band I sometimes play keyboards for have adopted a motto. "Up The Gayness". Yes.

Special titles and post count competition are nothing but trouble.

I assume that's your request for your own title?

Well, my suggestion was an idea to combat post count competition.

Some people like to converse their ideas. Big deal. The post count change is fun...

Seems to me the only people who complain about "post count" competition (which seems like a silly way to post, why not just post 300 one word posts if one is so concerned with it...) anyway those who complain I assumed did so in jest... am I to assume this is some kind of "issue" for some people?? I like the way the whole ranking titles have arbitrarily changed month to month... it's fun. What's wrong with fun????
