I upped the base number of likes per day to 60/day (and as @anon26814599 said, it was 50 and that is a rolling 24 hour period). Note, that’s increased by a multiplier for each NLU member level you are. 1.5 for level 2, 2 for 3, and 3 for level 4, so the top level of membership would give you 240 likes in a 24 hour period. One of the reasons for not just removing the cap altogether is that likes are somewhat of a currency within the forum, and just giving everyone unlimited would make it as useful as unlimited monetary supply (please, for the love of all that is holy, no one take that in a political direction).
Does that sound reasonable to everyone or do we think that’s still restrictive? The gist at this point is, if you continue to be a good contributor to the community, you get more likes to give, and I think that sounds like it’s a decent incentive
@Bullseye Mind giving a little more info on what you mean by seeing a link for nolayingup.com? Like in the navigation of the Refuge?
Yes, something like a navigation item. On nolayingup.com there is a link pointing to the refuge, but not the other way around. Am I missing something obvious here? I usually visit The Refuge first and if I want to check out nolayingup.com I have to retype it into the address bar. Sometimes I’ll even click the No Laying Up title and icon in the top left hand corner thinking it will take me to nolayingup.com but then I’m back at The Refuge homepage.
There have always been different levels, I’m surprised to see this is a surprise. I think you’ve all even gotten a message about it every time you’ve gone up one, and some of you are even displaying them as flare on your account (looking at you, @Zocco).
You can find them on the badges page, and all of you asking are basically at the highest level you can get to naturally. There’s nothing special you need to do to hit these levels, it’s purely based on involvement. People that are actively, consistently contributing to the community get a little more freedom, vice versa someone that has just joined needs to build some trust before they can do certain things. The latter is a critical aspect to keeping this place from becoming a cesspool of spam and trollery, and the former actually contributes back to that since higher levels are given more trust by the automatic systems when doing things like flagging posts, for example.
If you’d like to read up more on the defaults, check out the Discourse post on the subject. We mostly still follow the default setup on these with a few exceptions.
Ah yeah, sorry for the confusion, I can see why the numbers would throw you off. They can be named arbitrarily, so when I was looking at the settings for like multipliers it was all based on l1, l2, etc. The mapping for each one is the same listed as the Discourse post I linked above.
Burners on burners on burners just spouting off nonsense. It was not a good look for whoever it was. Hopefully they’ll be able to link the burner back to an original account and give them a million year ban, because what was said was a thousand times worse than what earned a 1,000 year ban.
Also wonder from an admin standpoint if its not worth implementing a slower account verification type system, or something to weed out burners? Wonder if something as simple as having to wait a period of time, say 12-hours as a hypothetical, would do anything towards limiting the impulses of drunk a-hole to come on here and light things on fire?
