Today Kitty invited Underwoodrockz to join LTSEnt. She knows this Youtuber since a long time ago and he's a fine singing critic today.

So please do not find yourself offended by his feedback. To make things fair for all of us, Kitty has waited for this occasion to implement a new feature in the website.

This is the Popularity field you can see in your profile (left on your post). To feed this field, you have a "+" and a "-" system on top right of each posts now.

Now, all users are free to give appreciations on any post here in our topics. Please play nice with, be honest, we'll all gain ^_____^

a Thanks button is also added to the top right hand corner of every post.

The "+" adds 1 popularity
The "-" minus' 1 popularity
The "Thanks" adds 3 popularity but can only be seen by the initiator of the topic and can only be used once in each topic.
These are all done anonymously. Please don't abuse it.

Have fun testing these new features out!

So...the more "+" you get the higher your popularity?

Yes, but we are still testing this function out for now..and since we also have a thanks button maybe we wont need a popularity button..
We need to see how user react to this popularity thing - we dont want it to be like high school - abuse of power

I like this addition :) I remember Underwoodrockz's post a while ago on APC that was pretty critical and got complaints from members but I think critical opinion is needed sometimes too so please don't be offended by him girls!

OOHHHHHHH I get how this thing works now (I clicked on the "+" button on your post, you've just got another popularity thing).
But...I don't get the thanks button >_< All I see is that you get a green bar next to your post.

Ayu the button gives 3 points to the person you thanks. But this button only shows on topic where you've been posting of course. When thanks, the button turn disabled. It's a one shot per topic, ok ?

Hm..i'm not quite sure either..i see the green bar..maybe it gets longer when there are more thanks

...where where where????
I can't see a thanks button anywhere...I tried this topic, I've been posting but no thanks button?

Oh and umm...can you see when you've been given a "+"? IDK.

Interesting...

So..a thanks = +3 popularity?

You can't see who gave you "+"
It's anonymous
:sneakgrin:

Ahhh i see now..
So you can thank people in your own topic
and "+" "-" people in other topics

"believe me, it's all Kitkat's fault"


The button only appear in topics that YOU have started ^___^

Kitty, I understand now.
This thanks button will be great for collabs; if someone sends their parts in on time they get a "thanks" and if it's past the due date then maybe a "+"?
(is not a must, just something I'ma gonna do the future if we keep this :D)

Ayu, you're such a lovable one^^
Actually I introduced these new features but I leave full freedom to all of you about the usage you'll do with. Over time, you'll find a way to use them and this will be include in LTSEnt social culture^^

So far I've seen many profiles getting popularity points and hopefully I've not seen profiles starting to go into negative accounts, so I'm pretty happy of the maturity of all of you, only one day after the launch ^___^

Ahhaha, thankyou ^_^
Sure :D Already found one XD

Yup, I agree. Let's hope no one somehow makes a fake account and gives "-" to everyone.

Don't give silly ideas too easily, you know how intense we're stalked here from a certain outside^^

Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft, you're joking right? Don't those idiots have something better to do than stalking us? Like making their site not look like sythesia (regretting the move now, eh?)

Btw, can I suggest something like only blue members or above can give "+" and "-"?
IDK if it seems mean, but that's just incase we get a spammer

Yes I agree with Ayu on this, if only blue members and above can use the +/- feature it would reduce the risk of emergency situations since they have to be trusted to be responsible on a basic level to become a blue member...by posting a cover :P

Can anyone else see the green, red, green and red bars where the "+" and "-" are?
Or can only the topic starter see them?
..cause I see some people are abusing this feature already.. :doneyet?:

The green bar for me only pops up after someone has clicked + but I haven't seen any red yet. xD

I think anyone can see them. I see them right now too.
But yes. I've been seeing red as well

I love the thanks button though ^^

I believe everybody can see the green or red bars.
I have red already lol. But I don't really mind as long as I get more green than red.

Hmm..it's good that you ignore the red, but the 2 posts that got a red here didn't deserve it at all...trolling is not acceptable at LTS. : cherrii :

Agreed. Though who did it, we'll never know.
I guess that's something else we can't control, one of the disadvantages...

Hahha, we're here on LTSEnt, not on APC

Users privacy is a value in our house. I have no way to tell you who are the "-"ers^^

No Ayu actually she said "we have no way" of telling who it is meaning even we do not know who presses those buttons. xD

haha no worries ^^ I read things wrong too :P! No need to apologize for that~~ : ftnok_g :

First post updated

Dear Abuser/s of the "-" button, if you have too much fun, this feature will be removed.

Let's keep the site positive. Is it possible to have only the + button working? Just like how facebook has no dislike button?LOL

LOL Yeah, kind of hurtful to get - buttons.
I don't think people are rating posts, I think they're just rating the person.

Yeah that's also a strong possibility. People don't easily overcome their bias over others so maybe adding a - button wasn't a good idea. Since this was kind of like a trial I think we know what we should change and what we should keep x]

Kitty said to me that these buttons were customisable.
The "-" can be removed and the "+" can be altered to give +1 all the way up to +10.
So this isn't a problem.

Lilie and Skye, I take this in action today.

Trial will continue with another custom set of these two buttons.
Still in trial anyway.

So many troll 0_0"""

I totally agree with taking away the "-", but what if what somebody said was really...mean? (but not mean enough to get banned). I mean that was one of the fucitons of the popularity thing, incase the person you talked about criticed something too negative.
But at the same time, trolling does happen so...

I guess in a way, it does work best if you take away the "-" button.

Trial still running, but I've changed the set. So now, I'm waiting the second complaint wave^^

So...it's been changed?

I believe it's been changed in that when someone clicks "-" no popularity is lost, just the red bar showing. x] Lighter impact.

Ooo I see :D That's a good method.

It's been a long time and I think members are getting used to this feature XD to clear some space you can unsticky this whenever you deem ready, Lillie. (:

Same here, no complain so far.
We can keep this system running over time now^^
No more a trial run test.

Ok~
To the trashbox!

Ohhh this shouldn't be trashed just unstickied making it a regular post in the guidelines and expectation area! New members will still find this paper useful XD I'll move it back.
