I’ve evaluated the changes to the vouching system in the signup system that was made a few months back and I’m mostly happy with the changes, but as you might have guessed from the title there are a few things that I felt had to change. It seems like it’s gotten a bit too hard to pass the vouching step since we started requiring three vouches, therefore I’m going to change it back to two vouches to pass the step. I still want the community to be able to grow with new members. It should be hard to get an account, but not too hard \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
I’ve also changed negative vouches so they give -1 point instead of -2. Some people get very discouraged by a negative vouch, and it required a lot to get past a -2 vouch. Also it seems fair that each vouch is worth the same, negative or positive.<\/p>\n
Lastly, you can no longer vouch users directly from IRC. You have to make an effort and log in to the signup program and actually give a short comment\/reason for your vouch. This is to make sure that you actually considered the vouched before giving it.<\/p>\n
I hope you think the changes are good, feedback is always welcome! Comment on the blog, send an email or discuss on IRC (main chat or pm is fine)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
