Vote Limit on Guides on New Champions

[quote=Jebus McAzn]I agree wholeheartedly with Trojan - I think guide resetting would only cause trouble and a lot of annoyance to members of a community - think of it this way. A troll is more likely to seek the build out and -1 it again, while a contributing user isn't.[/quote]

[quote=Matt]Sinking guides that don't update themselves isn't really any different from rewarding guides that do, is it? We're rewarding you for updating your guide, by not sinking it :) I wrote a big blurb but, really we would likely just use the "last publish time" to do something like... Hide or fade guides that haven't been updated within two patches, or something like that. There's not really anywhere to "bump" a guide on the site except maybe the "last edit time" option on the guide browser. The guide reset feature, as discussed previously, would have limitations. We have gone over those issues, and we can implement restrictions such as one reset per month, and/or a life-time limitation on resets. It would be available for special circumstances, not for frequent use. Maybe we have done major updates to the site and you want to try again utilizing the new features. Maybe you have done major updates through various patches or after learning a lot, and you want a clean slate.[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=Matt] The guide reset feature, as discussed previously, would have limitations.

Having a time limit seems like the best choice for those who makes big updates to many of their builds.[/quote]

[quote=Scrax]I'm with Searz on this one.[/quote]

[/quote] I also agree...but maybe it should be one update per patch since it is possible to have two large changes to a characters mechanics or ratios in two consecutive patches causing an issue if they are both withing the X month limit. Another solution is that [color=red]Matt[/color] organizes some form of board (or automated system) that reviews updates to guides to verify that they are legitimate and not just a "bump" to increase their rating. This would promote good maintenance of guides as those would be recognized for hard work, but those who spam could in turn be warned over attempting to abuse the system and the updates not posted. I am sure that you could find a group of vets who are willing to serve on the board for the greater good.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]The problem with the board, which has been suggested before, is that it limits votes on these sites to being representative of only a select group of "elite" members. First off, this implies that these members are fundamentally better at the game than the rest of the community, which is false. But most importantly, it doesn't accurately give a build the rating it deserves based on the community, which is what is most important in a site like MOBAFire. A score has to be representative of the common opinion.[/quote]

[quote=Satarin]The board would not be there to vote...that would obviously remain in the hand of us poor unremarkable members. The ONLY purpose of the board would be to verify that updates to guides are dramatic enough to warrant a refresh and therefore a very slight increase in their maintenance rating.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]Oh, I see, a board over refreshes... Yeah, that's a much more viable idea.[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]I'm confused. What is all this refresh business? :x I get what Matt is saying, but what exactly do you guys mean with a time limit? O_O[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]What is being suggested is a feature that will let users reset votes on their guide back to 0/0 - perhaps with a time limit, such as a month between resets. Veteran/moderator approval is another thing.[/quote]
