Irene Muni Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 The previous system had a JIRA requesting removal the system of points ( https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/WEB-1498 ).In this new system, there is a JIRA requesting to be removed the "Ranks" and their permission to act in one way or another on the forums according to your rank.JIRA about "Ranks in Forums and SL Answers are unnecessary and inconsistent with community spirit": https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/WEB-3705 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supperfan1488303077 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 ***** Isn;t having different classes of residents with different powers exactly the sort of behaviour which would get you ARd for marginalisation if you weren't a Linden? ********** They can;t take my fish and chips supper away from me though. ********** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supperfan1488303077 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 ***** I believe from your involvement in the Spanish forum that English is not your first language Irene so can I ask if the JIRA is against "Ranks" in the Forum or have you made a mistake and it is actually against "Rants" here? ********** I like lots of vinegar on my fish and chips supper but I put the salt on first so it gets dissolved. ********** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Muni Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Buf... I don't know if "Entertainment" is the correct subforum to inform the community about a new JIRA request. But I cannot find a subforum for that :smileytongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I cannot find a subforum for that ***** I can't find forums that seem to be right for the questions I want to ask. I have even tried (three times!) to ask in the Answers part of this site where I can ask questions about SL 'ess' 'eee' 'ecks' (spelt out because I am worried that it might be the word itself that gets the whole post deleted) but the questions don;t appear. ***** I think I will ask in the Forum Feedback section. ********** Cod, chips and mushy peas!

There should be somewhere else where opinions regarding JIRAs can be discussed. A single Feedback thread is almost impossible to hold a sensible discussion in and is bound to turn into just a list of gripes by individuals. ********** It would be like asking Heston Blumenthal to cook fish suppers for the whole of the Household Cavalry in your local chippy, which would get in the way of me getting my Thursday Night Special tonight. ********** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suella Ember Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 You know I've always agreed with you on this Irene (and still do). However, I've come to a decision that I'm not going to bother pushing and debating this anymore. My reasoning is because I think that when we keep debating it we just make it more of an issue which tends to give people an excuse to start using it as a reson to attack others. If I had my way I'd remove all such markers and allow everyone to be judged solely on the quality of what they say and do rather than some relatively arbritrary marker. It looks like they are here to stay though so, rather than let myself get bogged down in debating them, I've decided the best thing for me to do is to just pay them no heed. I'll judge people on what they say and do and I want everyone to judge me on what I say and do too. The 'ranks' may be there, but I certainly won't judge someone because of their 'rank' and I hope others work on the same logic too. If we all just ignored them they wouldn't even be an issue, so I've decided that's exactly what I'm going to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porky Gorky Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I don't understand what the rank "Honored" means. Am I meant to be honored that I have been ranked? Are others meant to be honored that they get to read the dribble I post. What exactly does "honored" means in regards to a forum rank. Maybe an advisor could advise me on this?

Laetizia Coronet Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 It means at the very least that they still don't know how to write proper English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porky Gorky Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 LOL, I learnt recently that the Americans havn't actually corrupted the English language as much as is generally thought. In fact American English is actually closer to the English that the pioneers used than proper English is today. So in the last 200 years it has been us British that have used a more evolved form of English and the Americans are using a more traditional form of english. It was on QI so if Stephen Fry says it's true then i'm not gonna argue with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Badger Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 My own perception has always been that American English was the language of the hedgerow and the gutter, where the transatlantic emigrants had been sleeping before their desperate abandonment of their native climes, and that the English of the British Commonwealth (excluding the antipodean convict colonies) was that of the nobility, who took the best of Norse, German, French and AngloSaxon words so that poetic and conceptual nuances could be more finely expressed.

Ann Otoole Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 In my opinion... There are issues that have a much farther reaching impact than forum badges to worry about. I would rather put my energy on community activism and organizing for issues that have actual importance to the success of the entire platform. Like Privacy and things like Jira voting (albeit a lost cause). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelinda Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Now if you don't like it couldn't you edit your badge in a way where it did not show up. Like put the same color underneath it so it does not show. It could be a way of showing support for the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Muni Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Perhaps. But persists the problem I have written in the JIRA: some users cannot do some features, some valued residents with no rank, no community spirit... In my opinion the problem is the existance of ranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Privacy and things like Jira voting (albeit a lost cause). Most of us are capable of focusing on more than one issue at a time. Those people on the lowest rank seem to have restricted accessibility. You may not think this is important or relevant but I am sure they do.

Taking away voting on the Jira is just plain silly and a complete waste of time as people will replace voting with watching, an exercise in futility if ever I saw one. Ranks on the forum are also silly and should be ejected, they will be be a cause of strife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what's the problem in "watch" a JIRA and "put your energy" in activism about other JIRAs? It's an exercise in futility that's what's wrong with it. I can "watch" Jiras without clicking the watch button because of the filters we have access to on the Jira but to show my support for it I have to officially watch it and then setup a mail filter to throw emails to my trash, whereas now I can just click vote. Completely pointless removing voting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion the problem is the existance of ranks. The ranking system divides the community. I've noticed some people with high ranks despite being a very limited contrubutor in the past. I saw someone with only 800 posts and no solutions get Advisor status. I don't see how that's possible if a weighted system is in place. How can a computerized system play favorites?
