THW record book?

[Tleno]

So I was just wondering here, but maybe we at THW should make some kinda like record book of our own (Just like the Guiness one)? you know, a thread where you can find out who our most active user, who has the most posts/approved maps/rep/uploaded resources/posts in one day and whatever. Its just in my oppinion, all those "Most users ever online" and others allways make people currious so why not to provide them more intresting facts about THW?

Dear moderators, if this is a stupid eough for you thread and you will want to delete it, please forgive me for such an idiotical idea.

 

[ronojales]

i like that idea. and somehow update it every.. year? THW Records 2010. haha

 

[Tleno]

Well I was thinking maybe it could be made automatically, you know, so computer would find the one who has the record by itself...

 

[ronojales]

hmm. but wouldn't that mean it can be updated daily?

 

[Tleno]

Daily or maybe weekly. Or maybe monthly is good enough.

 

[ronojales]

yeah, monthly is good enough. maybe this can be suggested at.. hmm... what's the forum? Site Discussion?

 

[Mulgrim]

not much to put in it unfortunately D:

 

[ronojales]

hmm maybe aside from the MOST's they can also put in LEAST's. maybe it can fill a page? *was thinking of something like Longest Member With Least Post*

OFTPIC: i like Mulgrim's 888 posts. XD

This is an interresting post!...I Vote Yea for Record Book

 

[Vengeancekael]

I don't see anything good to come from this......You'll just see the profile of the "best" users and that's it...

 

[Tleno]

Well, my argument is that, well, people are usually curious about all those postcounts/usercounts/whatevercounts, so why not give them the record book to take a look at? And, well, can I ask you a rethorical question: Why there is a Guiness record book?!

 

[Vengeancekael]

They could just use the members list and click the rep button... But That's my opinion.

 

[Cpt.ZnacK]

i think there could be a few records
Example

Most +Rep in one day
Most -Rep in one day
Most Awards
Most Maps
Most Skins
Most Models
Most Spells
Most Friends
Most Tools
Most Icons
Most Posts
Most Hours logged in on a day
Longest Time On the hive(as in hours)
Most PM send
Most Visitor messages
Best avatar
Best Signature
Best Map (From map of the year are candidates)

I can go on for a few more....maybe lol

I don't think people will be eager enough to scroll through a 6 billion long list which contains thousands of different ranking systems (like length or able to build the highest card pyramid etc). Plus I didn't even yet start about updating the lot.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Most PM send
Most Visitor messages

Why would that be so important?

Best avatar
Best Signature

That would require the moderators to check every person's signature/avatar the whole time-.-

If there would be an price for "Worst idea of the year" this would definitely get the price of 2010.

I mean seriously, we are a warcraft modding community, not a place to give prices for dumb stuff. Sorry, but thats my honest opinion.

 

[Panda]

I say no to this.

 

[Tleno]

Hmmm... sure, I'm just giving an idea, and you people decide if its good or useless. Well, now it looks like most people think its useless.

 

[Devine]

I support this idea CoMpLETELy.

 

[Kimbo]

Ehh..no...for most of the records, it will encourage negativity. EG-rep whoring and neg rep gratification.
You can always look for most posts or rep or neg anyway in the members list.

If this was an actual real life community where people came together and did stuff, then perhaps a book of achievements could be a plausible idea, but this is a forum community, and it would be an utterly useless feature considering most of what you would be recording is already monitored by the forum.

 

[Mr. Bob]

Not a good idea.

 

[Tleno]

Well yes, but my idea was more of motivating people to achieve something good, not with all those ridiculous records capt. Znack mentioned. You know, more something good, like "Most rated +5 resources/maps", "Moderator who revieved most resources" and soething like that.
Well, as I see, there are people who are against and for this idea. So there are the pros and cons of it:
Pros:
-It can motivate people at THW to do more great things for the community.
-Many curious people enjoy all these statistics.
Cons:
-We're not a type of community who needs it.
-This would add even more work to poor mods who already have too much things to do.
-We can find highest repcount/postcount without this. (Altough it might take some more time)

 

[Cpt.ZnacK]

They were EXAMPLES not real records...

 

[razman]

I think it could be good if they updeate it every month maybe

 

[Garfield1337]

Not really a good idea,if something like that would be made,it would become lame really fast,who cares about such things...

There you go.
