Designated "Expert" Forum Users?
<< < (63/98) > >>
RoGeorge:
If you want to have a Social Score attached and displayed here, fine, I don't.  If you think a validation counter won't change the behavior on this particular forum, you are wrong.  It changed the whole planet already.

Any "score" is mind conditioning on long term.  It slowly erodes people's personality and steer it towards maximizing a score instead of just posting here because it's fun and interesting.  Pavlovian conditioning works on humans too, not only on dogs.



Seems like everybody lost the plot here:
- designated expert was voted as wrong
- thanks counter was voted already to be kept hidden

Yet we keep talking how to (re)name the Thanks.

And this is not a school, and nobody named any of us as the defender of beginner's potential damage.  This is all bullshit, and it won't increase the popularity or the money income.  In long term it will destroy the community AND the EEVblog forum.

I don't want to be an Influencer, and I don't want to be turned into a "Thanks Whore" either, or to lurk around places where people's behavior is driven by a score instead of genuine human interaction.  Won't add more to this.

Yep, to keep egos out of the picture, the judgement should be on the answers alone.
And it does not matter that there would be only a positive evaluation, this being a 'back and forth' forum. In fact, is someone posts something like


--- Quote ---2+2 = 5

this post was thanked/agreed upon 23 times
--- End quote ---

someone else might post below


--- Quote ---Sorry, no. That's wrong. 2+2 = 4

this post was thanked/agreed upon 345 times
--- End quote ---

Bud:
Do not kill youself making judgements. Read a post and move on with your life. Garanteed - tomorrow noone will remember who posted what yesterday.

IMO this could quickly become problematic arms race between who is the top expert of experts in this or that

My so called expertise tapers off in the 1990s with fall in the use of thru hole components & the rise in SMD.  making todays electronics way too diverse
for any one individual to comprehend it all ,as I see it.

I think changing it from Thanks might have some value.
As for Endorse, I have Thanked posts before not because I endorse or even necessarily agree with them, but because they went to a lot of effort to provide the response.
Both a Thanks and Endorse like option would be nice.

But what is your goal? How would this improve the EEVblog forum in your view? Should this thank/endorse feature even apply to all sections?

The parallels with Stackexchange have been brought up repeatedly; keep in mind that Stackexchange is also under much heavier moderation to keep discussions on-topic.
