members opting out
#23880555 - 11/30/16 02:44 AM (7 years, 1 month ago) |

I would like to see a secret point scale in place where more established members (me) earn points for unpleasant members choosing to out out and no longer participate in the rating system.
I think its important because an opt out basically says to the community that a member may not be trustworthy. Its a red flag and calls attention to some sort of unpredictability or social retardation that may be cause for concern. I put a lot of thought into ratings I leave. My brain struggles putting together the right words to articulate that persons character (whether perceived as good or bad). A reward like a supporter acct or some show of gratitude (without actual gratuity) for efforts and good works would be nice. We contribute by adding transparency in the vast sterile shithole known affectionately as the internet.
bottom line.. a member chooses not to participate because at some point they have gone out of their way to sabbotage their own reputation. They cause their own social failure with repeated acts of disrespect and unkindness toward others and I have absolutley no sympathy.
and like always i take all the credit and none of the blame.

I have a 5 shroom trade rating. That should let people know im not complete garbage and stick to my word. I opted out of the general rating as I dont like to feel restricted on what I say due to a "rating system"
Even if you dont care what others think having this thought in your head that you need to be someone your not and say what you normally wouldnt is always there with a rating system.
I dont want a 1 shroom rating because I touched on a taboo topic. I dont want the people I trade with to think im going to scam them because I dislike things others dont and get bad ratings for it. And while it can be said that a trader will only look at trade ratings, and this may be the case most of the time, I believe that a negative general rating will affect some of those traders opinions.
Before I opted out I would hold back on what I would say. Opting out has removed that feeling entirely and I feel alot more like I have a "freedom of speech".
You can also opt out and choosing not to should not get you rewarded and quite frankly believing it should is selfish on your part.(something I wouldnt say with a general rating)

im selfish but also self-less. it depends.
anyway i am sorry you feel the need to sensor what you think, feel, and say because you're afraid of others opinions and how they will feel about you. Ive never understood why people try so hard to be accepted and liked.
I seem to have this devil may care attitude tho and never seeked approval from others in order to validate myself but i guess my skin is thicker than most peoples. I really dont give a damn what people think because the majority of PPL=SHT. The fewer I need to please the happier and better off I am.
People may not like me but they will atleast maybe respect me, for not compromising myself in order to fit in or gain approval.

well, your harsh in-your-face style is not liked by some people.
I hate cops, and Ive gotten negative ratings cause of it.
If u inject hate or anger or any other negative emotion into your post, or happen to agree with fucked up ways of life (for example), posters will take offense and u will get dinged in your ratings.
Some people are very sensitive to negative things

Funny because I think there shouldnt be a "general rating" at all. There isnt in most other forums.
People let it go to their heads. If you say 1 thing you shouldnt when your drunk you end up with a 2 rating and everyone just ignores you from then on.

General rates are the rare moronic admin fuck-up. It encourages children to post here. Return the site to a more adult nature. Those that leave because of it, shouldn't be here anyway.

It would be nice to have an ignore toggle for optouts. I don't want to have anything to do with optouts in cult, MH&I or marketplace (even though "only trade ratings matter").

I don't think you should be able to opt out either... Opting out makes you instantly an untrustworthy person in my head... I would rather see 5 albinos with 5 green ones under them than an opt out... I have no problem trading with someone with a 0 general and a 5 trade... An opt out with a 5 trade... Nope.

I'm not sure what a "general rating" is but I think there should be no ratings.. To me it is juvenile with people giving each other bad ratings. It's like the way children try to outdo each other in calling each other names.
I would encourage people to opt-out.
I can see the purpose of it in merchandise forums however.

In all the weird random forums that dont have a purpose the ratings are useless... But in mush cult the ratings are a way to let others know if the person giving them information knows his or hers shit or not.... Thats where the ratings system is lacking, because someone that actually is a good cultivator will stumble into the pub and say something then get rating raped by a bunch of people who have zero interest in cultivating, in turn making them look unreliable at a glance.... That is nonsense

General ratings speak a lot more of a person than trade ever would in some cases. Any idiot can win a gift basket giveaway and turn those around into positive ratings by giving that stuff to other people.
If I see 10 ratings of "person loves to learn", "eager for knowledge", and doesn't have any trade ratings then I'm going to put them at the top of the list over an opt out with 10 trade ratings. It's why I don't send prints in a giveaway to optouts.
You guys just saw what Hashed & his six puppets just did. He had opted out of general after being called out for being a thief, fluffed his trade ratings, and then went ahead and robbed people.
They don't serve any purpose in community forums but they certainly give me a good idea of who this user is as a person before I go sending them free prints or take them out for mushroom photographs. Or who I'm going to spend my time giving advice to. They might mean nothing in the Pub but they sure do mean a lot in MH&I and cultivation.
If someone screws up so bad in their general ratings that they have to hide them, then what else do they have to hide? Ratings raeps hardly even happen anymore so that's a poor argument. I bet all the people who got ripped off by Hashed could've had great benefit from his general ratings in being called out as a thief.
People can also turn around and change. It's part of the learning experience and human experience. If someone has 3 mushrooms and the last 20 have been positive and mushroom related then sure. If they're community forum ratings over debates it doesn't matter. Hiding ratings just makes me wonder what else they have to hide.

wow shows how much you know about the site lol, a general rating is supposed to reflect the amount of positively and valid information a poster brings to the shroomery. its supposed to reflect how much the poster gives back to the community instead of just what they take from it.
if someone is often counterproductive to the community and spreads miss info or negativity they will sometimes receive negative ratings for it.

What I was seeing was people giving me bad ratings because I am against the slaughter of animals for food and am in favor of gun control. There are some very abusive people who love to bash those who are into non-violence.
But, I don't see a point in rating people. Some people will make no sense in one post and then make alot of sense in another. You can see where they're at from their posts. And what to one person is a negative post that doesn't add to the site, is a positive post that is beneficial to everyone.
It leads to childish name calling. Again - I would do away with the general ratings - and encourage others to opt out.

there is always a chance to respond to your rating, or to plead your case if you feel it was unjust. In this way, whom ever is reading them can form there own opinion based on previous and current ratings.

But then you've got a lot of people who will form a prejudiced opinion on someone by simply seeing that they have 2/5 shrooms below there name, it should be that to see there rating you'd have to enter there profile and read the ratings and form an opinion for yourself, if you get my point.

Why should anyone have to "plead their case"? If there's no ratings, there's no chance that you'll have to defend yourself against abusive or false claims. People can see where you're at by directly reading what you have to say.
The ratings system just seems like an invitation to childish name calling to me. And I don't have alot of time to post. I would consider it a big waste of time to have to defend myself against people who hate me for being against meat eating, or for my religious beliefs.

Except in the forums where it matters... In the pub or the other weird ass forums, no ratings dont matter... In mushcult where dipshits confidently give wrong information, potentially causing loss of real life money spent on overpriced noob traps... looking into their ratings is basically checking their credentials, and in turn extremely helpful,

I agree. I've already said that it makes sense in merchandise forums. But it should be eliminated in other forums like the pub where it is not necessary and actually is a detriment.

It would be nice if a link to a post was required to leave a general rating.
If I see BongRips420 has 2/5, I would be able to sort his ratings by forum. If all of his cultivation/identification ratings are 5/5, and it's pointless forums dragging him down, that'd be helpful. I'd be more than willing to throw him a print or two.
We just suffered opt-outs in MH&I and Cult for the longest time. Problem is if you ignore them and they started a "San Francisco Bay Area 2016" then you can't see the thread.
Or just make ratings applicable to meaningful forums, like Getting Started, Cult, Adv Cult, Hunting, Microscopy, EBG, TPE, ODD, Marketplace... and a fair warning of "If you opt out of ratings, you will no longer be able to access the forums listed below".
It really stinks having these people in the mushroom forums. They have no accountability unless they break rules (which, oddly enough, they frequently do).
I'll give out encouraging ratings to new growers and new pickers, even if they kind of suck as a person, because that doesn't matter. His or her drive to become a better grower or picker is what matters... and we can't see that if they don't have ratings enabled. I'd rather spend an hour helping a new guy than helping an opt out. It's hard to judge his or her character; i.e., if they're even going to read what advice people give them. If they're an opt out troll then everyone just wasted their time.

anyone think it would be cool to have an anon option for when you rate people?
just like how you can anon +1 someone.
also i think it would be a good idea to be able to pick which +1 or ratings you want anon and which ones you dont instead of having all your +1s anon.

But yeah, opt outs are a problem in cult and mh&i, then they move onto marketplace, and people are unhappy. If someone had left "grows in his mom's house and is a snitch" as a general rating, that's something I'd like to know before I sent him swabs for his microscope. It's really the mushroom forums guys I dunno if you get the bleed over or not in EBG or TPE but there's a certain point that new growers could benefit from. A month or two ago there was a guy purposefully using old archival stuff to help new growers. Now that leaves unhappy people.
DavidReishi in MH&I, a bad troll and bad person since day one through and through and just now recently banned. Hashed. The Five Mushroom rating system should be helpful for the Mushroom forums.
Opt out can gtfo. If we are here voluntarily giving our time to help these people with mycology work, we deserve to at least know if we are wasting our time or not. It is nice spending time with a beginner and troubleshooting and informing but if they're a puppet troll trying to get 50 posts it sucks. We get the Facebook bleedover, too.

It would be nice if we could have a rating for the mushrooms / mycology / psychedelic boards to stand alone. This perhaps would be activated based on the weight of a members activity level in those boards. So if you have only 10% of your posts in those boards you cannot give ratings for that section. Would keep down abuse by those who do not post there.
Just as shitty people hide their ratings there are also some good people who have opted out to avoid rapes etc. Inski opted out and he didn't even have a low average. He had a 5 shroom average when he opted out. By having a seperate system for myco related boards we can not only avoid abuse but also recognize people who are good vs bad.

no. the system is fine the way it is. there will be no 'ratings for this forum, different ratings for that one." that is stupid. if you're a piece of crap in one place you're a piece of crap in another. if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck then it's a fucking duck.
as for the endrogenous guy whoever you are. everything you are saying is exactly what an opt out would say.

Right. But you don't contribute in the forums where it would be most beneficial and actually matters. Opt-outs are detrimental, and bounce around mushroom forums indiscriminately being assholes with no accountability.
We had an opt-out who was finally banned for purposefully spreading old info to be an ass, we had David in MH&I, Fractal/Hashed in both, that other guy in MH&I last year, and it's a legitimate problem.
From what I've seen mods like to give people the benefit of the doubt in mushroom forums which is great because I believe in harm reduction and people having access to knowledge. However, these people take the mods' kindness as weakness and indiscriminately misidentify, misinform, or be trolling hate magnets. That is why it needs to be fixed, or why they shouldn't be allowed in the mushroom forums. The reason opt-out options even exist is because of butthurt crybaby community forums.
Two mushroom mods think something should be fixed or tweaked. I value their opinions much more than yours.

No opt out. Reading the ratings can be super entertaining.

I would disable ratings everywhere except where they matter... EBG...MUSH CULT (and the like)... MARKETPLACE... Other than that what purpose does it serve other than a popularity contest? Y'all can just +1 the shit out of comments..

some folks are people pleasers with a need to be liked and accepted by others. I'd never trust a people pleaser. They tend to flip flop their opinions and beliefs depending who is around them at any particular moment. They're wishy washy, lack in character, and cant make decisions cause they have no conviction and stand for nothing.

I fully agree... That's why Y'all don't need ratings outside of the places where your opinion can actually be detrimental.

sprinkles said: no. the system is fine the way it is. there will be no 'ratings for this forum, different ratings for that one." that is stupid. if you're a piece of crap in one place you're a piece of crap in another. if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck then it's a fucking duck.
as for the endrogenous guy whoever you are. everything you are saying is exactly what an opt out would say.
I dont remember why i made this thread for
Dmt_psilocybin hurt your feelings in OTD on "gay marriage and why I oppose". Looks like you got shot down pretty bad, turned sideways and went delusional a bit, then came crying here like a bitch instead of confronting him or getting over yourself.

Edit: I guess it was postulating over what crawled out of your dusty pussy that made you lose it and make this thread.

lol sure ok. another one of your puppets i assume?
Listen Dystopia... this is one place i'd discourage you from having any engagement with me. Do you understand what i am saying? I just want to make sure.
Unless one of your puppets happens to be Ythan or another admin, I would excuse myself from this conversation. and resist having any future conversations here w/me.

I saw in that thread you thought it was me back then too, haha. I used the search function for your nearest melt about opt-outs. I find it hilarious you think my shadow puppets are out to get you and I don't have to do anything to troll you. I know why you have this delusion but it really should stop. For your health if not anything else. I don't have any access to accounts that I could even use to troll or harass you. There is a good person somewhere inside of you and that's great and you're a beautiful person. It breaks my heart every passing day that I forget you exist.

first you insult me then butter me up at the end. how charming.
I do not have the time, energy, or the desire to play games and fuck with people on the internet dude. I have a life. i am not concerned about you. i am very reasonable and will choose peace over contention in most cases as i'm a very forgiving & understanding person. I'll make allowances for folks who are mentally compromised or struggling with personal issues. so I will let it pass. I am made for war however, I won't next time.

Tell them about the weedsmokingasian puppet. Because there's no way I'd chill with someone and find awesome mushrooms? I went out with Fert and Loc this year. They are my puppets, too. Maybe Enjoywho is another one, since he works where I go picking. Have I made my spring season puppet yet? I'm sorry but I'm breaking up with you. I only realize you exist when you post in MH&I or whine here. Do you get delusional about other users too? You know I don't view or visit the same forums as you right? We could never be. I'm sorry I somehow broke your heart.

if there is anything more you would like to add about my personality or character (negative or otherwise) this is your chance to say it now. It will be your only free pass to insult/express whatever it is you don't like about me to your total satisfaction.. Whatever anger, spite, or resentment you hold toward me go ahead and unload and get it out. Leave your garbage behind you at the door. this is your chance.

I know this will be hard for you to understand, I shouldnt even try. I am stupid for having a conversation with you let alone trying to reason with you. Again I find myself going against my own advice when dealing with crazy people.
I have never been anything but supportive and kind to you. This may come as a suprise or shock to you, but most people don't like being lied to. Especially me. I am one of the most honest people you will ever come across in your life. I really do not like liars. Its my own fault tho really, I make the assumption that because i'm honest others are as well. It has taken me a long time to figure out not everyone is in my likeness. Or shares the perspective and point of view that truth is really God damn important.
And despite your ... well I wont say. Despite whatever problems you have or create for yourself I have always tried to empathize, even though I don't fucking understand, at all. I support you when you've not wanted to live anymore and want to commit suicide, through your confessed personality disorder(s), and i've even forgiven you when you've deliberately done shit to intentionally deceive me. Come to find out it hasnt just been me. Anyway you apologize but yet you continue to do the same stupid shit after some period of time has lapsed.
Maybe you dont mean to, maybe that's the malady or nature of the psychosis. And I know for a fact that I am not the only woman who has had issues with you. from what i can tell it seems to be a woman issue with you. How lovely. I have debated a few times whether or not to have a serious chat with a couple people who could probably do something about it. But I prefer to keep the peace generally. I have a pretty long trigger pull, still I suggest you quit pulling.
I have shit to do and another car to repair that isnt fucking running. this is the third in like.. what two fucking weeks? ugh. sometimes i wishes i was the one who's suicidal, but i would actually do it because I do what I say.

hmm.. You're not on your way up here to kill me are you? You'd be showing up any minute now and I need to run to the auto parts store. wait if Im not around, I don't want to miss out.
meh I prolly got it coming. Would be a pretty epic death. Heads up God will probably throw a wrench in there someplace. If the past is any indication He's gonna.
...and if you're not coming that's alright too. Though you would be doing me a favor. Adversity gets pretty tiresome. Oh well atleast i'm never bored, I guess.
plus too GUNG HOW FAT CHOY plus also its the year of the cock (I am a cock). plus too a cancer. ima cock that plus also gots cancer. Mmm yeah, that's not very funny.

Whenever someone slights you or talks shit you think it's me. I'm flattered. 
You need to get over this. Over me. I'm sorry it couldn't be us.. but I just don't have time to make puppets to harass you. Except Mush4Brains. I made that one just for you.

Yeah im crazy. i guess. anyone who reads my posts would likely think so. According to professionals i was court ordered to see, I'm totally sane. LOL I even asked them if they were sure. They seemed to know what they were talking about. I just gotta take their word for it.
You and I both know you have puppets. The question of how many is anyones guess. I know of atleast two. You make them to either harass female members, create fake ratings to leave yourself, or to circumvent bans.
...Likely all of the above.
Any obvious puppet that comes into OTD saying stupid shit or that posts anon I will always automatically assume it is you. Basically they are guilty till proven innocent, and you have yourself to blame for that.
and the funny thing is you think you're smart about it. you're not smart enough. I have a leg up over you and the advantage of not being crazy.
Keep trying dude. Maybe if you hang around here another 10-20 years they'll make you a moderator someday. But that is highly unlikely. No matter what face you put on, or how many coats of paint you put on it, your defects always will show through. Sorry.

sprinkles said: I would like to see a secret point scale in place where more established members (me) earn points for unpleasant members choosing to out out and no longer participate in the rating system.
I think its important because an opt out basically says to the community that a member may not be trustworthy. Its a red flag and calls attention to some sort of unpredictability or social retardation that may be cause for concern. I put a lot of thought into ratings I leave. My brain struggles putting together the right words to articulate that persons character (whether perceived as good or bad). A reward like a supporter acct or some show of gratitude (without actual gratuity) for efforts and good works would be nice. We contribute by adding transparency in the vast sterile shithole known affectionately as the internet.
bottom line.. a member chooses not to participate because at some point they have gone out of their way to sabbotage their own reputation. They cause their own social failure with repeated acts of disrespect and unkindness toward others and I have absolutley no sympathy.
and like always i take all the credit and none of the blame.
PS 
It's a website dude... If anything points to a retardation it's giving as much of a fuck as you do about people opting out
