I would be interested to know what percentage of Footytubers are in fact "Cool".
And is it "Cool" to want to be "Cool" when in fact you are "Uncool"

Thanks a lot. This piece of information is bit helpful

Hey just a quick question to the fan valuation, it seems that my valuation goes down so quikcly if I don't post something for like 2-3 days (doenst seem like a long period time as mentioned before or in one of the fan valuation posts) or it might just be that I was writing in not perfect spelled checked writing, since online I usually never use capitals for anything as you can see when I write "i" and I often use shortcuts as idk, or "u", but it was said that you only get deductions if the whole sentence was in text speek or with shortcuts. So my actuall question is how quick does it go down if your not active I didn't post for a few days and it went down from 38 or something to 36 million (+-. 5).

Edit: well more of an addon, I'm really interested how the whole fan valuation is actually calculated? Do freinds and rivals and all that stuff count also? Or is it just the quality of the posts? If so how can an algorithm measure the quality of someones vernacular? Or is this controlled by the admins, but that would be alot of reading....

Would be thankful for a explanation.

Greetings Robbery

Good implementation

Worth bumping this topic up to the top again and asking the newer users (and old users that have forgotten) to have a quick re-read.

Cheers

Everyone give me cool votes yea? Lmao

Can somebody please help me.... My fan valuation went down and I think it might be a mistake.... Would a member check it out for me please. Thank you

WHAT SHOULD I DO I CAN'T WRITE LONG SENTENCE because I DON'T KNOW MUCH ENGLISH IT'S HARD FOR ME TO WRITE LONG AND VERY HART TO WRITE CORRECT SPELLING, DO I LOSE MY FAN VALUATION BECAUSE OF THIS.... OR NOT.... WHAT SHOULD I DO...

Wow! I never knew that this was on the forums. I always used to ask for cool votes on meebo, but then diablo28 told me about this then I stopped doing it. I got it off someone else on footytube who asked me to vote him cool then he would vote me cool, and when Diablo28 came and told me about this, I realised that my fan valuation was getting lower and decreasing

Fair rules ! Although I don't usually have a lot to write and sometimes find it easier to leave short comments.... Why get punished for that?

Hey all, if you notice someone is begging you for cool votes or otherwise trying to cheat the system, please point them to this topic. If they write the same message to too many people, we will probably get notified if the automatic script doesn't catch it by itself.

Cheating the system is just cheating the other users who have earned their cool votes and fan valuation fairly. Don't let it happen, and please don't do it yourself.

Don't forget, it's against site policy to beg users for cool votes either in forums, on member walls or in meebo! If you do this a few times, it could trip a piece of code which automatically lowers your valuation.

Basically, if you want cool or funny votes just be cool or funny on the site, don't beg for them from other people.

Also, we've seen a huge rise in the amount of text speak in the forums, with shortened words like "u'r crzy" instead of "You're crazy". This is all picked up by the automated fan valuation script code which runs every night, and will hurt your valuation.

Things that will automatically lower your valuation:
* Typing in all capital letters.
* Typing in text or l33t speak.
* Multiple swear words in a post, even if you try to be clever about it
* Begging for votes and friends

Also, If a mod has to manually delete your posts because they break the rules, you're valuation will go down.

Things that are totally against site rules and will get you on a watchlist
* Racism, homophobia, hate speech, excessive swearing, threats, images of violence etc

Please just take your time on the forums, enjoy yourself without insulting or attacking others. Spell-checking before posting would be great, a lot of the newer browsers do this automatically (Chrome, Firefox).

Hopefully this answers a few questions as to why some peoples valuations are low or drop strangely.

It is cool the way the staff has been working on that fan valuation problem because sometimes people put Rude to you even if you are never Rude to anyone just by judging that you are doing too great and not them.... I am glad that had find a way to make it fair

Great job guys....  Keep it up!  

Some people are still spamming the forums, posting the same message over and over again all over the place. This will not only be picked up by the fan valuation code at night and punish users automatically, but also all of the mods are usually notified so we have to spend our time cleaning it up, which we don't like
