Change Most valuble Planner Criteria

Oliver,

I do trust your good will at the moment of judging a post as useful or useless. But what it is useful for you does not mean it would be useful for me.

What about the use of English done by no native English speaker. What about an excellent idea expressed with inconsistencies due to the poor or deficient use of the language.

Thanks Charlie for your comment about the high quality of my posts. You know my opinion about yours.

Can I compare my posts with Mr. Charlie, Mr. Chris or Mr. Clive who have an excellent domain of the English language. I believe , No

I keep on supporting the individual and private rating of posts : thumbs up minus thumbs down.


Cheers,

If i find it useful then i give it 5 stars.

If you find it useless, then you may only give it 1 star.

If i find it funny i might also give it 5 stars, but if it is another boring rant about native english speaking colonial task masters who rule with an iron hand and an evil heart, then i just won’t bother at all.

it’s a valid point, the ranking system shouldn’t really compromise the nature of the forum at all. I’m sure the more free-spirited of you will continue to post regardless of people’s opinions of your posts, so why should you change? (although the facility to repeat rank should be restricted lest Charlie and Carmen force each others ratings machines to explode)

There is no harm, however, in people being encouraged to think before posting, particularly when an OP is asking for help...

Gordon,

I think only rating posts once is a good idea.

But like you someone once said to me, there will always be the suspicion that people have more than one personality and more than one PPlanet account!

Here are just my views.

I believe PP is a great venue for planners from all over the world, regardless of race, religion, language, qualification or abilities to meet for some idle chit chat and exchange of ideas.

I do however also believe that PP and especially the more experienced PP’ers has a responsibility to also guide and advise and lead the lesser experienced planners.

PP should cater for both.

Some days planners visit for idle chit chat, and some days planners visit because they really need guidance and advice and on these days it is good to know who you shold be listening to.

To those that have some idea of the habits of the online comunity I can assure you, any one who expects all of their posts to be rated by readers are seriously over ambitious.

I do not believe we should see this as a contest. I believe what would be of value, is simply a tick box where, if you, the reader, found value in a post you can simply tick a box as a compliment and a thank you to
the person that posted it.

I do not believe the objective should be to in any way change any one’s way of utilising PP, and I certainly do not believe provision should be made for a bad or negative tick.

Just my thoughts.

Maybe just a tick box or button and a question that says ’Did you find this useful?’ would be a good idea.

Oh no, it should be a full on popularity contest, where those of us who are insecure enough can boost our flagging ego’s by ’sticking it to’ our fellow planners ;oD

Jackie,

I like your thoughts and I tick a box as a compliment.

Cheers,

May be thro a Poll by sending texts (SMS) by writing MVP followed by the PP ID no. of the MVP Planner and then followed by ur own PP Id

Each text to cost 50 cents, so that even PP Admin can have some more money to develop this site.

P.S. MVP stands for Most Valuable Planner

Good Idea!

We could even do live shows where people plan projects on stage in front of a live studio audience and then the public could ring in and vote for their favourite planner!

We could call it something like ’Gantt Factor’ and Charlie could be just like Loui Walsh!
