Posts from Morale system. Auto-translated

I think the Creator has already patented the database system? If not, that's bad, very bad, because there's so much plagiarism in the world... Since this system is unique, there are no analogues to it. Keep it up!

To be honest, there are plenty of similar reputation systems; they just have different names. And the morale system and the corresponding bird icons were invented by the developers of the third game. So, as far as I can tell, there's nothing to patent here.

What about a fixed point allocation for tournament leaders? I suggest introducing a luck points system. These points would indicate how well a forum member is playing, i.e., the tournament organizer would award a certain number of points to a tournament participant based on their final ranking. Also, one point would be awarded to the winner for each online game won. I have already submitted this proposal in the "Constructive suggestions for the development of HW" thread.

What about awarding fixed points to tournament leaders? I propose introducing a luck points system. These points would reflect how well a forum member is playing, meaning the tournament organizer would award a certain number of points to a tournament participant based on their final ranking. Also, each online game win would award one point to the winner. I've already submitted this proposal in the "Constructive suggestions for HW development" thread.

That's a good suggestion, in my opinion. It would immediately show everyone who's who – their approximate skill level. BD (presumably "bronze points") is one thing – there can be a lot of "birds" (presumably, people with high BD) even among those who don't play very well, but gain BD through posts, jokes, and topics. This can result in them having the same BD as a strong player, participant, or tournament organizer. But if there's also a system for evaluating their actual gameplay, anyone visiting HW would be able to see the approximate skill level of the players.

No, as a newcomer, I can say that you gradually learn who's who anyway. But even in my case, I currently only know the players in the fourth game, mainly because that's the only one I play. But if there were such a system, I would also be able to see the approximate skill level of players in other games – for example, the "threes" (presumably, players who play the third game) – there's an army of them here, maybe ten times more.

This is all just my opinion, so don't bash me if I'm wrong...

What is the purpose of this system? Does it really inspire anything significant? The forum is 70-75% filled with irrelevant content, and the amount is increasing. There is more or less order in the sections where most forum members don't participate much (which is a shame, as they naively believe that the second game is an inferior version of the third, when in reality, the third game is the second game with special effects that became possible thanks to computer advancements). In popular sections, there are many pointless topics, even though a lot of content passes through them. However, rewards, participation in tournaments, leadership in clans, and involvement in forum activities are certainly noteworthy.

Why should it inspire? O_o In my opinion, the main advantage of this system is that it eliminates monotonous posts like "I agree," "well done," "+1," and so on. Also, sometimes it's convenient to express something in the chat, like a joke or a mini-comment, so as not to write a banal "thank you" but to add something to it. And it's also a kind of attribute of fun and a friendly atmosphere. P.S., just don't promote the second part everywhere. One highly respected and ardent fan is enough. Moreover, your "criticisms" of the subsequent parts are not very convincing. But that's a completely different story.

Personally, I strongly advise against promoting it. And who would talk about friendliness? There were no complaints; it's just my opinion, expressed not just anywhere, but in a survey. Note that I've played all 5 parts and have at least the moral right to evaluate each one.
By the way, if we consider the guide for part 1 as part of the forum, then this section is designed brilliantly because there is an answer to any question there.
Now, to the main point. I opened the section for part 3, read it, and found that only 1 out of 10 posts contains useful information; the rest are polls, and people are just filling up posts around discussions about tactics, monster features, and walkthroughs. And should all of this be evaluated by the BD? And simply the number of posts – there shouldn't be any in thematic sections; others should only read about the subject being discussed.

Um, when you come to the sections for Heroes 3, King's Bounty, etc., and write that the game is crap, a failed project, and so on — do you really think people will pat you on the back and say "well done"? O_o Of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but to spew negativity right off the bat? Somewhere in the thread about the attitude towards Heroes 4, Monsieur Shnurov wrote and tried to explain why this is not good, and it seems he wasn't the only one. I won't look up the exact quote and reveal the original author now, but I'll paraphrase roughly:
"If you come into someone else's house and start vehemently criticizing it (the wallpaper is a terrible color, the layout is awful, etc.) in front of the owner, how do you think the owner will treat you? How would you act yourself?" But I suggest we stop off-topic in this thread — it's dedicated to the morale system after all.

I opened the Heroes 3 section, read through it, and found that only 1 post out of 10 has useful information; the rest are polls, post padding around discussions of so-called tactics, monster features, and walkthroughs. And should all of that be evaluated by the BD? And posts like "I agree" shouldn't exist at all in thematic sections; others should only read the subject of the topic being discussed.

The HeroesWorld portal is a mass one. It hosts not only top-level players but also simple fans of a particular part of Heroes, and maybe even more than one. There are chatterboxes who don't really play but love to discuss the game, and so on. They all have equal rights, and any topic like "which monster do you like?" has a right to exist, if only to jot down a couple of lines on a dull evening and unburden one's soul (well, that's for me :rolleyes: imho as they say). And how someone uses the opportunities given (the BD system and the rest) is their own business.
I'll reiterate, the system does a good job of weeding out one-line posts and adds its own shade of color to the overall palette of HeroesWorld. If you consider it an unnecessary color, that's your personal opinion, which has the right to exist. I was just trying to dispel some points that I think are not entirely accurate.

So, what makes the morale system so perfect? For example, I get a -1 rating from a person who is, in general, not very familiar with Heroes due to their age, but has 5 badges for a lot of posts in the Haven forum, discussing what to eat, and so on.

Well, any of the Heroes games isn't perfect either, but a lot of people still play them.

In other words, the system of giving each other + for every message in the Haven of Debauchery isn't very well-developed, but people still write there. And they write what they usually write there. It would be better if they submitted an application for a tournament.

Not everyone enjoys tournaments. For example, it's quite difficult to organize "for fun" games in tournaments, even considering the friendly atmosphere and everything else. Because a tournament is still a tournament, and you usually approach it differently, often with more responsibility. And it doesn't matter if you get something for it or not; the gameplay is still slightly different. This is both the advantage and the disadvantage of tournaments. As for the uneven "distribution" of BD birds, we can take mathematical logic as an example: let's say for each post, we get +BD with a certain probability => the more posts we have written (the counter doesn't matter), the higher the probability of getting that +BD.

So, what makes the morale system perfect?

It fulfills the goals for which it was implemented:

1. The morale system is a system adopted by HeroesWorld, the goal of which is to add a relative "morale" parameter to each user and to provide the ability to change this parameter automatically or by other users.

For example, I receive -1 from a person who is still quite new to Heroes due to their age, but has 5 badges for a large number of posts in the Haven of Debauchery, about what to eat, etc.

The morale system allows each user to increase or decrease the morale of other users for their messages, guided by their personal preferences

P.S. Link to the morale system help

It doesn't allow every user to do that. You need to have 25 units of it. And it's unrealistic to accumulate that much in a modest Heroes 1-2 forum, even by participating in tournaments, and I don't see the point in it anymore. You can't evaluate all the messages anyway. And you want to say that HP is somehow imperfect because it doesn't have a database? No, on the contrary, it's precisely there that I wanted to play in all the tournaments; if there were a suitable version 4, I would even participate in it. And there are a lot of these tournaments. The system was originally conceived with good intentions, but it has turned into more of a measure of activity, based on the number of messages posted, rather than something related to Heroes. In fact, the forum itself is moving towards the name "Just Chat." The number of moderators required for the sections reflects this.

Well, it seems like around 25 posts were made in connection with some smart aleck showing up, "ytsu" if I remember correctly, or someone else. And he just started giving everyone dislikes, and in a very chaotic manner.
HP - is that Heroes Portal? And what's the comparison for? They have their own thing, and this has its own.
Ergon, the database system has absolutely nothing to do with tournaments. Alex_R even provided an excerpt from the help file, where everything is clearly written.
