Yesterday we launched a semi-new feedback system on the site, allowing our members to provide positive feedback on specific posts, images and reviews.
Details about the new system are right here.
The default name for this system is "reputation" and it is used both for the "thumbs-up" icon, found at the bottom of each post, as well as for the ribbons you see under your postcount and location. This name doesn't reflect what we want the system to be all about here in TCS, and we need your help in choosing a new name!
What are we looking for?
1. A name that reflects positive feedback (e.g. kudos, love, applause).
2. A word (or two words) that work in the following sentences:
- Another user gave you [ blank ]
- Give this post [ blank ]
- See Anne's [ blank ]
The best example I can think of is used for the very same system in a website about... chickens. Their members came up with the word "ovation". It reflects positive feedback, it's grammatically appropriate in all three examples and it's related to chickens (the word ova means egg in Latin).
So, let's brainstorm together for a "catty" alternative to the word reputation! What would YOU call the thing you want to give others for good posts, and receive yourself?
Make a suggestion that meets all three criteria, and you could win a beautiful TCS sweatshirt!
We have a week to brainstorm here, and come up with names. Please submit your suggestions in the following format -
- Another user gave you [ blank ]
- Give this post [ blank ]
- See Anne's [ blank ]
Feel free to ask questions, discuss and provide feedback on names in this thread as well. Questions about the new system are also very welcome! Most importantly, do please use the new system and if you see a quality, informative and supportive post, which you think contributes to our community, please do click the thumbs-up icon and add a comment to go with that! Make sure you read the rules and guidelines first - they're soon about to be part of the site's official rules.
Let's take a week to think about names. In a week's time, on Tuesday, October 15, I'll collect all the posts containing submissions (in the above mentioned format) and run a draw for the sweatshirt.
