Forum FAQFollow

I put together a FAQ for the forum. I'll get Illia to link it up later (it's just under the EQ template right now):

https://everquest.allakhazam.com/Forum_FAQ.html

One thing I want to emphasize is the Karma system. If people start to use it, it should solve many of the complaints I see about anon posting. If you have received Scholar status of higher, you in effect become a limited forum admin. Please take advantage of this.

As you read through a thread, rate the best posts up and the worst posts down. Then when you get to the end, hit the rate posts button to enter your ratings. It only takes a couple people rating through a thread like that to move the dumb posts below the default viewing threshold and move the better posts up, which will eventually make those making the good posts able to rate as well.

Now just make sure you have your filter settings at "default" and not at "Never Filter". The default filter means that when you are on the main thread page, any thread where the lead is below 1.5 isn't even listed, and within a thread any post below that rating also disappears. If you choose to set your filter to "Never Filter", then I have to assume you want to see those types of posts.

We do moderate the forum as well, but only to get rid of the most outrageous posts. If people want to carry on a below the threshold flame war, then we won't interfere until it becomes indecent.

How do I keep track of the Topics that I've posted in? I've heard of a way to see Recent Posts, but i can't find it anywhere.

Maybe they will throw server forums in with the speed update for the site, would be nice. I've noticed awhile ago my rating slowly dropped from around 3.03 to 3.00. It bounced between 3.00-3.01 for awhile now its down to 2.99-3.00. And it keeps dropping with about every 10 posts.

Hey Allakhazam admin! I've noticed on other fan sites, many have this option. You've done a nice job dividing things up in to general (world pass, missions, and trade skills), job, and race. But it would be very helpful to have a forum to meet other people (that play at the same time) from the same server! Anyone else agree?

Why do I get an access denied message when I click on some of my old posts? I have a premium account... Would like to see what I wrote a while ago that was rated #.## for one reason or another.

...why are bookmarks not working? When I click on someone's bookmark, I get a blank profile page.

What is the rating scores of the following categories?

Awful
Default
Decent
Good
Excellent

I ask because I've downrated people when thinking Good was better than their current post rating.

Actually, that's what I thought it was myself.

Someone had a 3.6 rated post. I rated it good and it dropped to a 3.4 I believe.

I was wondering how to rate a post there is a couple of threads out there talking about it and was thinking to my self and I said self how do I do this it didn't respond (same reaction I get from my girlfriend ... but that’s another thread) please let me in to this big secret

OK....then is the rating just a number of post thing or is it Im just a boring poster and no one has ever gevan me a .1 eather way IM fine with the out come just wondering
