Ideas for tweaking the point/request system

[subsonic]

We'll never limit the ability for someone to post. I think someone was confused there.

I was just saying some sort of perk for those people who truly contribute. Nothing short term, but like a perk for 100, 500, 1000 posts. Again, these all all just ideas. What is for sure now is that I believe points will go away. Again, it was to get people to be active in the forums. We have activity now and that's not an issue.

We're talking about ideas to enhance the scheduled and background streams. One of the ideas in that enhancement is to also allow requests there, any probably with even less restrictions. Again, just another idea. None of this is in stone.

I can't rap my mind around how the request system would work without points. I understand that the point system only really helps people who don't have a lot of points. I mean they strive to get enough points to request that big ticket attraction or show. Once you get as many points as my fellow "E" tickets and I have, it's a non-starter. We just post because we enjoy our community and Subsonic friends. Some of us have been here for years.

I have to admit I hung around without posting for a couple of years. After a while I did need more points so I checked out the forums. I am so glad I did because this is a fun group!

That's the thing, We give just base points (more of them) and limit times like it is now. And, perhaps the perks are that the power users can request the super long tracks.

Can you set tracks to ticket levels. IE make tracks up to 5 minutes long A tickets, B ticket ones will be up to 10 minutes? Then give each person a set number of ticket tracks they can request. Those more active in the forums have the higher ticket levels and thus get rewarded with the longer tracks.

Sub, I think I have WAY too much time on my hands.

Isn't that still the point system??

Not really the points system, more of an old school Disney ticket system. Each attraction was rated A,B,C,D, or E and you had to rip out a coupon to ride each one. Each song would be rated A-E and you would have to use a virtual coupon for each. Once again, it's a rough concept that I drew up in my head.

I know Len I was there for those books. What I'm saying is that you want to replace one point system with another.

Yes, but it would be more based on levels than points.

But, something I want to eliminate is new users needing a lot of points to request some of the bigger stuff. New users will be more equal to long time users. Just, the high posters will get to request the really big tracks. If, I do it this way. First I need to get back into coding.

Nobody has noticed that I changed the rollovers on the stations in the left hand navigation.

I'm guessing that would be just rewriting the code to change the numbers around. Now that you mentioned the rollovers, I took a look and do see they are different. IMO they look a lot nicer now as it is simpler with pointy edges.

I understand now! Sounds like you're gonna be a busy code monkey to get that done. While you are at it, is there any way you could code treasures so we could categorize them by park?

Sure, why not? I'm sure he's got plenty of spare time to get that done...

Yep, I noticed alright...but I just thought my computer was doing funny things to me. Looks good!

The songs/database aren't really setup that way. But, I do plan on adding sorting and I could add a search.

Ooh, sorting by length and maybe even park? that would be AWESOME!
