That Karma system failed then?
I wasn't a member when that was around.

I think only a positive karma system then?
Only the post starter (or moderator) can rate a post. They choose to rate it +1 or no rating. Then you get an overall rating, say mine would be 50% helpful, the other 50% could be negative/spam or an enquiry such as "What sort of racquet would you like? Head Heavy/light... Price?... Etc" This way all feedback is positive and newer members will get a chance to see who actually knows what they are talking about rather than who has spammed the boards and made millions of posts. Maybe only have this system active on certain boards such as equipment reviews/techniques/general as ChitChat would be hard to rate if somebody was helpful. This might lower the appearance of arguments in threads, and people might care enough about their rating to not try and hijack a thread.

I have to mention this - I have no idea what all these posts are about in this thread, but could they be deleted (the sort of argument ones).

If .. then: merge more similar threads together (I mean 3 threads already on Yonex 2011 shoe lineup and they're not even out yet

), put some structure in the video section

**demolidor** · 02-13-2011, 07:18 AM

Not to mention the gazillion threads on BAG951W JP and/or SP

Not to forget those racket recommendation/comparison questions that keep popping up in the equipment section

But you could say it's inherent of the description: "Discussion on badminton equipment, including reviews, etc. " What else to discuss but compare? Probably the other one should be renamed to "Recommend me ..."

Unfortunately, most of those thread starters are our newer BC members, some of whom are quite new to Badminton itself (looking at the questions they've asked).

Another thing I suspect is that those newer BCers think that their threads are their own 'private' personal threads, not knowing that once a question is asked, answers and info replied are for all BCers to know/read.

Admin/moderators may be able to merge these threads together; but I don't think they can find time to do so. Why? Because there are just too many threads asking the same question.
