thumbs in the middle for new voting system

Submitted by dex on
Thumbs squarely in the middle! Really, I don't think is going to be a big deal. Unless the hot MGoBlog groupies that are crawling all over Ann Arbor on Saturdays in the fall are really turned on by our official MGoBlog T-Shirts that have our point totals on them ...

I hope it doesn't turn into a digg atmosphere where people are worried about the points they accumulate. If that doesn't happen, we're golden.

confused as to how Chrisgocomment had negative points, so then I started to give him positive points. Then I realized there was a fake and I still gave the real one positive points for having an imposture. That being said, I'm jealous that nobody has tried to imposture me!

I have no problem with the point system that has been instituted here, and in fact wish many other message boards/blogs that I frequent used it. The only problem I have is that every time I post within 20 min I lose that point and can not get above 7, thus keeping me from creating any new threads. So if I have a question about something I have to try to find a post that I can try to fit it into, even if it really does not pertain to the original post. I understand it is to keep nonsense posts down and keep the stupid from creating 1000's of topics, I just think it is very difficult to try to accumulate points. I would like to see something put in that makes it so when so when someone drops you a point they need to give a reason and it shows who dropped you. Maybe this would help enlighten some of us who loses points a lot as to why we have lost our point for the post.

You know in elementary school when you would play paper football at the cafeteria table at lunch, and you made the little goalposts with the tips of your thumbs meeting, parallel to the tabletop? I guess the index fingers pointing up are optional....

On the back we could have it say "______ MGoBlog User" where ____ equals: 20-plus = "Douchey" 10 to 19 = "Whiney" 1 to 9 = "Poser" 0 to -9 = "Questionable" -10 to -19 = "Lightning Rod" 20+ = "Speaks the 'Truth' you can't handle" I realize there isn't a level for posters of supreme awesomeness, but I have complete and utter confidence in Six-Zero to come up with his own t-shirt.

Wish I could write as well as you. I would be willing to transfer all my points to you for some writing lessons, that would put you right up there with Mich1997.
