Forum:Removal of Halopedia's Point System (Part 3): Difference between revisions

#{{Support}} - As I have said before, the points system must be eliminated, and I give my unwavering support to this cause. Our Wikia must be kept in the utmost care of its real users, and this is the first step to a better future. We will win, no matter what the cost!

#{{Support}} Yes the point system needs to go I've been called a point whore one to many times. The point system is scareing away potental editors more often than not. [[User:Whispering|Whispering]] 04:43, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

#{{Support}} I find the points system a largely arbitrary way of stroking one's ego, not an actual gauge of prowess in editing skills or ability.  <font color="red">''''' <small>Useless Old</small>[[User:Gruntyking117|Grunty]]'''''</font> 05:48, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

#{{Support}} I think that the people who make edits for the sole purpose of getting points, are not really the kind of people who make good edits.  The people who would continue to edit despite there being no point system are the ones who really care about this wiki and put love and effort into everything they write. <span style="color:blue; font-family:Stencil; font-size:110%">'''Lieutenant'''</span> [[User:Mcloganator|<span style="color:blue; font-family:Stencil; font-size: 110%">'''Mcloganator'''</span>]] 02:28, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

#{{Neutral}} - Like it was said above, I don't think of it as much of a big deal.  As long as people don't spam pages with incorrect and irrelevant edits, I don't really care. (Heh I didn't know how to vote so I just made the edit.  I hope this was the correct way to vote :P) [[User:k9colin]]

#{{Oppose}} One of the systems which defines Halopedia from other Wiki's ODST Joshie

#{{Oppose}} The purpose of editing is to increase the quantity and accuracy of information related to Halo on Halopedia, not to emphasize group effort, even though group efort is a good thing. Yeah, there are point whores,  but those people usually get banned anyway. I think taking away the point system is taking away a big part of Halopedia, something that makes it more enjoyable to be here. Besides that, the military ranks are just plain cool.

#{{Oppose}} The point system was one of the things that I liked about Halopedia when I first joined and it has been an incentive for me when I have been editing. [[User:ShadowBroker44]]

#{{Oppose}}- I don't see anything wrong with the point system.--[[User:Dogbert14|Dogbert14]] 00:44, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Simon rjh, just make a decision already. Tally in the votes. Get rid of the points system, or let it stay. The points system is destroying friendly relations between users. It is like a war, there are the people all for the removal of the points system, other people are against the removal, and there the just neutral people who want as all to shut up and stop arguing and make Halopedia a great encyclopedia for Halo knowledge. Then there are point whores, who exploit the points system for their own ends, that don't really care if the points system gos or not either; they'll just leave and be annoying on some other website.
