Antipoints

How do I assign antipoints?
sorry for being such a
NOOB

You click the "Assign Positive or Negative AntiPoints To This Post " link on top of each post and then decide if you want to give out negative or positive AP's. And you migh want to read this thread http://www.antionline.com/showthread...hreadid=233413 and pay the FAQ a visit. http://www.antionline.com/misc.php?s=&action=faq

Some people really need to read around befor posting.

I agree, Nightfalls_Girl, but at least he said sorry. *shrug*

In my opinion, everyone is always fussing about how people should read the FAQ and whatnot, but when I go to my main antionline.com page at first glance I don't see the FAQ. I actually have to look deeply into the list of 10pt font-ed things on the right side of the screen to find it. If it's a huge deal, why not make it bigger and more accessible?

for all people say about "you have to read the FAQ, i have never even thought about readin it. however, i have never been given a neg yet. the FAQ is more of a written down version of Nettiquite + common sense.


slick

I agree with Jehnny in that the FAQ is not pointed out to new users. I do not remember seeing anying about an FAQ when I joined. I read it later, but I had to find it on my own.

I think with the number of guests using this site, it would be cumbersome to place a large link to it on the unregistered main page. However, it could be mailed to new members.

I guess that would require a lot of bandwidth, though. Perhaps a large link could be placed in the email sent out before completing the registration process.

I imagine many people would read the FAQ if it was pointed out. Sure, a lot would never bother, but a lot would too. We can't really blame people for not reading it if the first they ever hear of it is when they get flamed for not reading it.

Yes, I think a large link in the welcome email would work better than the current methods.

I believe there is a suggestion asking you to read the FAQ...but I cant really remember...

I think its in the confirmation email, or in that huge notice you see once you log in AO.

I answered his question first, then said that he visits the FAQ for he may have another question that is already there.

I think it should be on the front page when you log in for the first time as a member a run once type of thing and then when you log back in a second time it should be gone That is what I think should happen. it will save us members the time of typing Read the faq to questions Granted some questions are not in the faq but the faq should be updated with new questions and answers.

perhaps the forum dir is a bit misleading then?
Home / Forums / AntiOnline Site Related / AntiOnline: How Do I? or What Is? /
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't it read something like site related, how do I what is?

Memory: We weren't directing (or at least I wasn't) at you. I was going off of what Nightfalls said.

dopey: Yeah, it is a bit misleading. The description is: "Have a question about AntiPoints, posting, or anything else related to AntiOnline.com? Ask it here." So, I see no problem with:

1) us answering questions when they're posted here, without flaming, or

2) the FAQ being sticky on top of the How Do I, What Is forum. It seems like it's better placed there than wherever it currently is.

:confused: kinda confused me but yes found it later also its hard to earn point here ;)



sorry if there is spelling mestake

btw memorY you are from cro ? ? ?

Whizz there was no need to neg me for my comment. I mearly posted that comment, as unless you have bean hear for a while you dont know what antipoints are. so there for would you not think that there would be posts about what thay are already.
Why dont thay just miagrate all the posts/threds about antipoints in to one big thread, and post it on the front page.

I currenlty live in Cleveland, Ohio. But i was born in Croatia. Why?

They could integrate the FAQ into the registration process, at a ceratain point in registration, have access to the next step in the process at the bottom of the FAQ page, have an agreement checkbox, or an agree/disagree button. To reach the next or final step of registration the user either has to scroll to the bottom of, or at least read the FAQ page.

Just my 2 cents.

i was born in former yugoslavija osijek now croatia :)

Whats the use i never see any antipoints assigned over here

I believe a year or so ago, all this used to be done, they would be put up there and it would even pop-up on your first login. However, many people like myself missed it, because no pop-ups could appear (Avants blocker is very good). It should be one of the huge banners at the top for the first few days or so, IMHO...there are a lot of ways that it could be dealt with, but its obviously not covered nearly as well.

Also, when people first read the FAQ, its not very interesting. I skimmed a few key points when I came back and that was it. I forgot about it after that...I think other people may do this too, and forget that something is covered in it. ::Shrug::

I lived in Knin near Sibenik, moved out of there 3 years ago and from the on i live here. Knin is not that far away from your hometown. how old are you ?
