Folks,
I'd like to introduce you all to the newly enabled MilPoints system. By now you've probably noticed the little
and
logos around here, so allow me to give a quick overview.
In essence, the new MilPoints system is designed to reward "good" behaviour and allow the community at large to self-regulate by providing an avenue for user-to-user feedback.
Yes, this is another rating scheme, but that's just a small part of the overall MilPoints system. As you can see in the MilPoints FAQ, even without user-to-user ratings you can earn (or lose) MilPoints just by your daily activities. More importantly, the rating component of this system is completely transparent, unlike previous incarnations. That is, when you rate someone else's post you can classify it and leave a note to indicate why you rated the way you did. The "target" can see your note, as can every other user here, so it becomes impossible to take pot shots from the shadows.
Information on the MilPoints system can be found in the MilPoints FAQ, but of course I'd be happy to answer any questions about it.
Development of the MilPoints system has been going on in the background for almost a year. Still, I expect that there will be some hiccups as we get this thing off the ground. I'll do my best to address any problems quickly and fairly, but please bear with me, it may be a bumpy ride.
Some links:
Enjoy!
