CHANGE - Only Veteran Members can rate Photos/Dios
 

Addressing the concerns of the JoeDios members, I did some research into the features of the gallery add-on I purchased and installed for vBulletin and have disabled ratings for regular members. Currently, about 1/4 of the JoeDios members are of the Veteran Member status. I also increased the requirements for Veteran Member status from 30 days and 100 posts to 90 days and 300 posts. Anyone suspected of padding their post count with worthless posts just to get to veteran status will have their post count reduced to ZERO by me. If you see this happening, PM me with a link, please.

Let's give this a shot and see how it works.

If your image or Dio gets rated 3 stars, be HAPPY. That's a B. Better than average. Only a few should be getting 5 stars. If down-rating with no comments continues, I will make a group of hand-picked members who are trusted to rate fairly and give feedback when they rate something down. I'd rather not go there, but I will if this continues.

Hammerfel.

That seems better. IF you want, you could create jabroni levels (100 posts), iron maiden levl (200 posts), metallica level (300 posts) and VETERAN lvl (400 posts). hee hee.

Good, case closed :)

This sounds like a reasonable solution.

I agree.

I like the solution.

Solution supported.
This is better than closing down the R-system.

I haaave the power!
Hopefully this will take care of the problems.

at last ...... :D

Ditto.
