Dakka 854 Posted May 25, 2016 Quality Control I was thinking of a way to stop "circlejerking" votes and I thought of this. In order to vote on an application, your post must: Have at least 150 words Have at least 2 separate reasons why an applicant should/should not get in i.e both reasons can't relate to each other Be noticeably different from other posts Instead of getting 50/50 to pass, get 30/30. It's not hard to think of 150 words and 2 solid reasons to pass/fail an application. Thoughts? 1 2 Leeroy, gemma and krony the brony reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KiLLeR 588 Posted May 25, 2016 People definitely wont vote if they have to type up an essay for each person, i don't see this type of voting happening... :/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaymin 129 Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) I have looked at some of the application's after reading this post. I think it would be better if people had a valid reason on why they voted yes or no to the applicant, rather than just saying something along the lines of "I don't like you." and then just voting no. Now I don't think that they need to type 150 words about the person, hell that is like a paragraph and a halves worth. Example: Quote You tend to be harsh on people that don't do something your way, and you make a lot of excuses for situations that you have caused. I feel like you are a fun person to play with at times, but I would like to see you improve towards others consistently. Also, the idea that you stated that they shouldn't give statements similar to other users, is good, but at the same time, people have the same opinion as each other. Now that doesn't mean that they should copy and paste the persons reason for their vote, but if the voter has the same influence on their vote as another person does, they should state it. Enough of the same topics that voters bring up to help improve the applicant, may actually work. I also like the idea of the two reason's on why they should or shouldn't get in, this can mix up the opinions of the voters towards to applicant's actions in-game, rather than just having the same statements over and over again.

tazmanianxdude 360 Posted May 25, 2016 I'd say where not only staff has to explain why they voted no but everyone else also, and it would have to be for a good reason not just for dumb stuff. 1 1 gemma and Dakka reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thelnternet 332 Posted May 25, 2016 i prefer to say "Haha XD" and vote no one everyone then randomly change my vote during the month depending on how much drama is following that person, this usually works for me. 3 xmen, nothing_but_fail and Jodas reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLiNDBoi 930 Posted May 25, 2016 I have no issue typing a paragraph and I don't even want to do this. Too complex, wont do anything but make voting more pointless. 2 xmen and gemma reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

driz 2626 Posted May 25, 2016 Well, there is poor grammar and then there's what you wrote... I don't even understand what you were attempting to convey. Protip: sounding like a dumbass is never "cool." Write properly all the time and reap the benefits of not being seen as a moron.

Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk I thought it was pretty clear but I was not trying to look cool, tried to be funny but sometimes I got bad taste of humor (mostly when I'm bored) and I'm guessing the "does are" confused you a little, thanks for the advice though.
