And I have speculated about <a href="http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/89203-Calculating-Back-Reputation#comment89568">a refereeing system</a>, soon after it started.</p> The latest comments added to the Post, The best of MaplePrimes 103654 Tue, 05 Apr 2011 04:16:26 Z Alejandro Jakubi Alejandro Jakubi http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/103605-The-Best-Of-MaplePrimes?ref=Feed:MaplePrimes:The best of MaplePrimes:Comments#comment103665 <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I have not had in mind the voting system of MaplePrimes. This system is in need of improvement, but that is another theme.&nbsp; How to select, to feature, and to gather the best things in MaplePrimes, that is the topic. As a rule, the questions, the answers, the posts, and the comments before May, 2010 are not&nbsp; voted.</p> The latest comments added to the Post, The best of MaplePrimes 103665 Tue, 05 Apr 2011 18:27:51 Z hirnyk hirnyk http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/103605-The-Best-Of-MaplePrimes?ref=Feed:MaplePrimes:The best of MaplePrimes:Comments#comment103690 <p>That is what I have have said in&nbsp; June: a voting system would make sense only if useful for selecting the best items. As it stands, it is not. And expert refereing would help.

I mean the kind of thing where there is a button or similar viewable at the top of each view of each forum, when on-the-fly re-orders your current view either ascending or descing by up-vote totals.</p> <p>I mean just like in ny email client, or file manager, I can re-order by date, author, etc, on-the-fly.</p> <p>As for old posts, I've tried to go back and up-vote posts (what used to be member's blog entries in Primes version 1), especially those of experts. It seems to me that it'd be just as much effort (at least for one person) of re-reading and searching in order for old posts to be identifiable for the purpose of "best of".</p> The latest comments added to the Post, The best of MaplePrimes 103901 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 18:13:22 Z pagan pagan http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/103605-The-Best-Of-MaplePrimes?ref=Feed:MaplePrimes:The best of MaplePrimes:Comments#comment103913 <p>sounds like a good idea, yes Alejandro the current system leaves much to be desired...</p> <p>I use the mapleprimes archives a lot (usually by googling site:mapleprimes.com), I often find answers there, and I often find I'd like to "upvote" these, to point them out to others, to "unbury" them from the depths of the archives, but all too often they are not "upvotable" because they are "comments" and not "answers" ...</p> <p>I don't find it all that useful to distinguish "answers" and "comments"...</p> The latest comments added to the Post, The best of MaplePrimes 103913 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 22:21:27 Z PatrickT PatrickT
