Guru Solution

[kovan]

hmmm i agree that some people just did posts to get guru's or attempted too..
so here is a little solution i thought off..

guru shoudn't be disabled and controled by the dictators(ooops)

but seriously i think that each reply someone makes
it should be voted

like if i post "how do i display a message box"
and some dude comes along and says
msgbox "hi mom"
then at the bottom of the message
i should be able to rate that using a 5 point system
1, 2, 3, 4 , 5
and guru status should be obtained from these points


POINT SYSTEMS - users get to pick their gurus

That won't work!!
we (well, I didn't bring it up, but I saw the thread) brought this up before.

If 2 people were friends,
They would most likely always vote 5,
even if the answer didn't deserve it.

and if I answered dimava's(my sworn enemy) post, since we don't like(READ: HATE WITH A VENGEANCE!!!!) each other, he may not give me all the credit the answer deserved.......


and thats #3, I can't beleive I answered another of your posts... seriously

[SteveCRM]

and what if you replied in your own post? Would you vote for yourself?

and what if you took all your clothes off......opps wrong bulletin board.

[HarryW]

Doesn't work.

Don't do it.

Next topic please.

[kovan]

since have ONLY seen ONE i repeat ONE reply from dennis that ACTUALLY tried to answere someones question
o boy will dennis be in trouble if this voting took place


no matter HOW you go about it
someone will abuse the system to get guru
if dictators give guru status... they might not do it right either since (assuming they only scan the forum)

i think we should go to voting polls
vote people who DESERVE guru (dont even know how a guru makes a difference...)
but i have some people in mind that DEFINATELY deserve anythign we can give them
always answer questions and do it in detail to make sure you undrestand...

These topic gets covered every few weeks.

John and/or James decide on guru status, and that is all she wrote. Start the topic in chit chat if you want to.

I think they should just scrap all of it.

Try hard programmers still insecure of their abilities looking for a short cut to a title. Toddlers with Compilers.

They should just have everyone is a MEMBER except admin staff or maybe special guests and chuck the post count! I mean what are we really doing here?

There is forum which I think uses an older version of the forum software used here at http://www.powerbasic.com/support/forums/Ultimate.cgi and that's how it works and nobody complains.

Admittedly I have seen very few 'try hard' kids trying to prove an image there. They're ex C programmers and VB pros who user a compiler that doesn't hold your hand as much as VB does but produces better software (no OO but you can have pointers, inline ASM and stand alone exes and dlls under 10k), if you don't know what WinMain() is then stay away.

I'm here to learn by asking questions and looking at other people's questions (and trying to answer them) and consider the guru stuff a bit of a novelty, something to keep the kids occupied so to speak.

I'm with Jethro, Get over it guys!!!

Well, click on the links above and:

Goto VBThunder
.
.
.
VBThunder:
    If VT.Understood = True Then You.Status = ShouldBe("Guru")

Happy?

Also:

Dim True as VBWorld.SpecialVarible
Dim Goto as VBWorld.VBKeyword

With True
    .ShouldbeHighlighted = True
    .IsHighlighted = False
End With

With Goto
    .ShouldbeHighlighted = True
    .IsHighlighted = False
End With

If it weren't for these "dictators" we wouldn't even have the privilege of these forums. Call them what you want but it's ultimately thier choice.

one who has power to do something without my agreement :)

thats how i define dictator

it didn't meant to be in an offensive way
thats why i put it in ""
but n e hows

from all da stuff i read
i do think now that "dictators" should make the final decision...

Thanks for the suggestions guys! For the moment, we will be sticking with the same 'dictator' controlled system.
