There seems to be a problem with how the cost of moderation affects my moderation of other posts. View the two pictures (that were GIMPed together to become one file).


(This is a hyperlink to the post in the thread.)

As you can see from the top picture, I have only two mod points but can see the [Good|Bad] to the right of Kallor's post. In the bottom picture, I have successfully modded Kallor's post by a single point. I cannot say what the exact mod point cost of my action should have been, but it probably would have cost me 122 mod points to increase Kallor's rating for that post. Since I only had two mod points before changing the rating, I believe that a glitch has appeared in the moderation system.

I will also fess up to decreasing this post's rating by one for experimentation purposes, with surprising results. I had not known of the bug at the time and did not take a picture of the post before my rating change. I will gladly reimburse Zch for his lost point should he ask me to.

Naw, Mike just asked if I'd change it so that every + or - costs 2 mod points, so I did. No bug, but one of us probably should have said something.

Sorry about that. I'll mention it in the next Illumination.

Whoa there!!!!!

Please, no messing with People's Choice Awards prizes. I understand that the way I gave prizes for the past three years does not make sense in the new modding system. It used to be that if I modded someone's prize acceptance post to +30 or whatever, the average forum member could not change that. Now it's very easy for other forum members to take away the winners' well-deserved prizes. That's not fair. Please don't do that.

It could still cost a zillion points to lower a post with + 30... I agree that you shouldn't be able to delete anyones contest prizes.

Huh. Is that why you went with +30? I thought that those were just a nice bonus, with the real prize being the right to put an new obnoxious line in one's sig (or the actual votes, whatever). Anyway, I don't think it's that big a deal.

No, I've got a variety of complex reasons for the +30s or whatever. To avoid boring people to tears, I'll not explain here. I just really don't want to see modding experiments conducted in the People's Choice Awards Winners topics.

Remember too that people like Mike and Schik can PM people rank/mod points as well, thus preventing such shenanigans.
