sorry, I went on a 2 day vaccation and came back today. I will resume the coding ... the coding is still stuck at 80%. I already mentioned before, The forum upgrade comes first now. First all the changes from V2 to V3 will be understood and the changes are made slowly to the board.
Once I understand the NEW ADMIN panel of v3, I will resume my Coding to use all new Features of v3. This approach gives me new ideas for new features...
Like, I was thinking of :-
- Awarding mycents through Reputation Points (renamed to Wisdom Flags)
- Member Rating Percentage influences the amount of mycent the user gets for his posts.
- Mycent based on SEO index per post (where SEO index is calculated based on Post Content)
- Wikipedia Links in Post will give BONUS points
- Mycent for Topic Replies
- EDITing old Posts gives Lower MyCENTS
- Giving Mods myCENTs control
- More myCENTs for Active Users
- ETC ETC ETC XD
New features sometimes cause me to re-write considerable amount of code. So Planning & Research does takes a lot of time.
Previous credit system algorithm favored NEW users. And members who were suspended.
I m planning to make The new Mycent to favor OLD users. ( still confused about this part )
Anyway, I m not sitting idle and my EVILNESS is growing day by day.
MyCENT 4.0 will be released Soon.
iPeace.
#1 Interesting idea, how I wish this was implemented years ago, all that yummy Credits/MyCents I could be earning.
#2 I would think the multipler should be either .05, .25, or .5 to make that, only drawback I see is that it can't be retro active or people would be in the hundreds of dollars in MyCents. My case, thousands
.
#3 I think that would require knowing how google indexes and they won't give that secret up or you miight have to give more details on what your thinking about this one.
#4 Only problem is that some users will post a few thousand wikipedia links with no useful content in the post. Might be useful to see if you can cap the number of wikipedia links in a post and that might fix this possible issue.
#5 Thought that was always implemented, I knew the Credit system had that before the switch and so I would assumed you had implemented that in MyCents. I would think multiples of 5 or 10 would make the process simpler then doing it on post by post basis.
#6 1/3 of the value seems justifable especially if a person is only adding a line or two to his or her original post.
#7 Your welcome
#8 argueable since you can't really set a standard for active users, but maybe increasing the MyCents for a user by .01 or .1 for every 500 posts could be something to look at.
#9 That is why you pay me the big bucks

Hummm, not sure on this one. If a bunch of animal rights freaks join up and they didn't like me I'd get less for posting???? Don't think that's a real good idea.
Anyway, what I am wondering about now, when the mycents is finally fixed, are we going to get credited for all the posts we have made in the past several weeks while it has been down? My account is near rock bottom and I've been trying to get plenty of posts in, but I hate to waste my time if they arn't going to count anyway.
Don't worry, when the script is completed and running in the forums you be credited from all the posting you did.

opaque said that he is running a script that counts all the posts now, so don't worry sheepdog, just keep on posting and when mycent works again you will get your mycent, we all do.
exactly.

Thanks Web Designer, that is good news, I'd hate to get any further behind on the mycents account than I am now, I'm down to about 38 cents. Of course, I have no idea how much I've gained from my posts since mycents hasn't been working, hope I don't get any unpleasnt surprises, I guess I better get to typing my fingers to the bone! My poor little fingers are getting a real work out. Still trying to finish up spring shearing, milking, and tonight trying to get a dumb goat's head out of the gate, my hands are definatly getting over worked.
Depending how many times you post and how long the post is as well, you could be earning anywhere from $5-$30 that is a lot of posting but that is the range I would think most users will fall in when the script goes live. Of course, it could be more but that depends on how you post and so if you got some tutorials worth publishing best time to do them now.

Thank you Mahesh for suggestions.
I needed them.
I wont implement this in 4.0... may be in 4.1. This feature is still new and I need to observe it for some time.
Negative reputation is not required. I thought about it for a week.
Yes. A lot of members signup for advertising their blogs or some product. They come and make 2-3 advertise posts. Moderators will have ccontrol only over the myCENTS. once the myCENTS are converted to DOLLAR and deposited, they can no longer reverse it. However, Mods can prevent a Spammer from earning Dollar and therefore save our hosting resources. Using our coupon code, Members buy hosting for $1. And making $1 is no big deal :/
There is no Configuration option to do this.
Alright, Increased this to 51.
Hey.. Please don't worry about your hosting. Please send a mail if you are going down on USD CREDITS in your billing account. We will take care of your hosting till this update goes live. And don't worry, all your posts will be calculated.
Any other ... Good and Bad News.. Invision released 3.1.1 LOL. time to upgrade.
Well it doesn't take much to start adding a bunch of negatives to a persons account, especially if those members happen to have problems with each other so that definately makes sense.
Though I never really seen how IPS runs a blog through its software, I would think that would take up considerable resources and actually take away from posting on the forums. Granted the person only be able to post it once but I guess it is one of those things that is a wait and see on how it is used. Yeah, blog spammers is what will make this the most fun.
As for the Mods control over MyCents, this was my idea that I had brought up to OpaQue a couple of weeks ago or rather, it started out with an idea the ability to see how much a post is worth. Now regular users wouldn't be able to see this or they figure out the system, however, for mods this will be a sure fire way to find out who is cheating the system. Only tricky part is the ability to find out what posts have been edited because they don't show up in View New Content.
Odds are we would need to see if logs exist for editing posts and see if we can bring that to Mod Cental in some way and then display two values, a before and after to see what kind of difference in terms of values has been made to the post.
