Antipoints (post feature)

I never really noticed this and havent seen any oficial post stateing it but then again it could have been said again but who cares???

i never saw it before so there most be other people who havent so dont bother posting links here saying its already been posted about!



If you click on "Assign Positive or Negative AntiPoints To This Post" on your own post a new window will pop up stateing all the postive and negative antipoints and msg giving for them..

Why is this a good feature????

because this will allow you to keep track of antipoints you might not have seen due to fact that your antipoint center only allows you to see the most recent 10

--NetSyN

Hmmm... Whats with all the Antipoint threads people? How very irritating....

this was just to help people who dont check their antipoints often enough to be able to see all them on the 10 recent ones. i dont think you really need to add to the already enough "whats up with all the antipoint" bull **** because im pretty sure u have made your fair amount of post about antipoints but im not gonna waste my time reading threw your last post to show that and make you look like an idiot.


We all know antipoints are a well talked about issue but as long as the post are legit and not bitching i will read them.

Thus why i made up a fake example not using real situations to complain with tact.

--NetSyN

Yeah, I forgot who but someone told me this feature in IRC yesterday. Weird though ain't it? It was you, NetSyn, and someone else. Anywhoo, it'd be nice to see more then my top10 recent ones.

how funny it is to see how many times the same old thread is started. i remember back when they first started this. ppl liked it, ppl hated it, ppl didn't care. and nothing has changed in the year or so it has been up. wow. just accept it because it's not going to change. it's part of the whole antionline experince. if you don't like it, go somewhere else.

Really Net_Syn, if you can find post's I have posted about The Antipoints System(other than the older Gold Dot suggestion) I'll call my self an IDIOT.

Uhmm... i see that this post was posted in the proper catagory...I really shouldnt bitch like I do.....I apologise....but the offer still stands.......

HavangerSR: You obviously didn't read the post you idiot... no one was saying they didn't like anything at all. Fall off your high horse and break your neck, would ya?

Good find, NetSyn. I've known about it for a while, and use it often, but this is a good thing to point out to the people of AO because I don't remember anyone ever stating it in a post before. :)

I've whined about this before... The feature is nice, but flawed.

Firstly, points that would appear as grey (for no-affect) appear in their original 'intended' color. That's not bad, but I'd like to know whether they took affect or not without having to go back and check my AP center and see if I can find the corresponding comment.

Also, points without comments don't show up. I'd like it if they did, because then you'd get an idea for how the post was recieved overall, not just how the people *who left comments* voted.

And, back to the AP center, the AP center grey-dots need a way to show how they were intended to be, since sometimes there is no comment and you're left wondering what the person meant to assign.

This feature has been around for a long time. I have been using it for at least 6 months. Like Terr said though, it doesn't show commentless antipoints which kinda sucks.

I like the feature, even though it could use a few tweaks. Buuuut.....

/me scratches his head...Hmmm...member registered in Aug 2002, but can remember "back when they first started this"...HavangerSr, who were you "back when"? Reading thru your posts thus far, I can see you might be the resurrection of a previously banned member. Out of curiosity, who were you, REALLY? Inquiring minds want to know....

I'm Havanger. Terr and Simon Templer might know/remember who i am. the reason why i left was becasue i no longer had internet connections. i was a Senior member when i left. it sucks becuase when i tried to reactivate my ol sn it didn't work. never got banned. although i'm getting a lot of neg AP for my post, but oh well.


-havanger

My apologies, HavangerSr. The previous post has exceeded the 1440 minute limit for edits, so I cannot edit or delete it. I stand corrected on my erroneous supposition as I do see where Havanger is in fact a legit Sr. member who has not been banned or active since shortly after the institution of the AP system.

If anyone is interested . . . I posted a thread on this a couple of months back.
