This thread smells like butthurt. Yes, Jimi, you got some negative feedback on your "Let us grind for SP" thread. In typical EVE-O style, it was delivered with ascerbic commentary, outright disgust and one liners. Don't mistake people mocking you for a lack of intelligence.

After all - none of the one liners suggested what you did Lol

Just get over it, grow a thicker skin and accept that not everyone is going to love every fart that passes through your brain.

I'm beginning to see the beauty behind your idea.

However, until it is implemented blocking you will have to suffice.

I'd like to see your system implemented in reverse so we can have some normal conversation without some egg head thinking that I should see things exactly the way they see things because they have a big IQ. Roll

But that's just the beauty of it! It would go both ways. There would be nothing stopping you from blocking those with excessively high scores! Who posts in your thread is completely up to you. Its win for everybody.

Actually what would probably work better for you is like a hate score. you could just keep excessive amounts of hate out of your threads. Keep all those douche biscuits out until they go take a chill pill

Intelligence and common sense are two totally different things. Some of the most stupid people I've met have a PhD.

A phd in what though? Pardon my ignorance here but isn't a phd a sign of knowledge on a particular subject, and not so much intelligence?

CCP implement a type of intelligence test for the forums. Each player wishing to post on the forums would have to take said test on their first attempted post, and then once again every month after that. The test would score them on basic math, reading comprehension and other such things. Their score would be determined by the number of questions they got correct and the amount of time it took them to complete the test.



Obviously you never took a real IQ test. Of course cognitive tests have a right/wrong answer, but reading comprehension? You know how long can papers can be about a single philosophy question, yet two good papers wont end the same ways, but will still be very productive and well constructed, with good argumentations and will probably both get a A+ ? Yet the two guys who wrote them have opposite point of view.. but they respect each others (if they are smart enough).

Besides, he who has terrible cognitive results can be really strong in another domain (art, language, litterature, etc). Ever heard of "Everyone is the dumber for one other guy"

Thanks for that. I assumed, like most forums, clicking the name would take you to the users profiles. Much like clicking the avatar does. My mistake.
Assume.Lol

Did you take the time to read the forums to get an idea how people would respond to this?

Opinions differing from yours doesn't mean lukewarm IQ.

It means your opinion has been noted and summarily dismissed.

Thank you drive through.

Well that's cool... I guess? I mean some very fine points you do make my fine man! But opinions aren't really the topic of this thread, despite what the title may have led you to believe. Its actually meant for the discussion of the culling of the stupid! You know, those sad few who can't even comprehend the opening post of a thread, and hell, those that flatout refuse to even try, before posting.

You know, those who despite everything pointing to the opposite, they could still come into a thread like this and assume its a thread about opinions! Now how thick would you have to be for that, you know? Like surely, none among the geniuses of eve could make such a foolhardy mistake.

100 is too average, from 120+ they start getting more interesting.

I expected this thread to be about filtering over a "Dislike" button. For obvious reasons that would work counter intuitively because the seething masses would all "Dislike" non-conformists into the ground.

I would like to point out that you might filter out some good people. In my high school there was streaming and a great many classes. One particular student stood out. You just had to speak to them to know that they were pretty vacant and slow, should have been in one of the lower classes, not the top one. However, they must have been studying many hours a night and put a great deal of effort into their work. On subjects you could learn parrot fashion, such as history with dates and events, they excelled, while on the other hand, they were failing or just passing the things that needed some thought, such as mathematics and chemistry.
Their compositions had a great deal of thought and care, it just took them longer to get there but they could produce high quality results.

If you want to keep people from bashing your horrible ideas there's a much easier solution than implementing some kind of IQ test before allowing people to post...just stop posting horrible ideas.

Try this: post a decent idea and see what kind of responses you get.

Ah but you see, the very average is just what I want. Those with basic problem solving skills, basic ability to understand the very words before their eyes. This seems to be very few and far between in the eve community though, but dont get me wrong. I have, on a few very rare instances come across a member of the eve community who exhibits the ability to, not just think, but to understand and that's something id like to see more of in the eve community

Do these paragons of the Eve community also believe that the game needs an xp grinding system?

Forget it. The average, is randomly posting things to put people down and to try and attack them personally. This is "witty" and "clever" showing what great "prowess" you have. You are just painting yourself as a target to be followed around and "trolled".

Think of how often you see variation on an old meme being used by these same people? They can't think of anything constructive or creative to say, so they go on the offensive, attack everyone before anyone points out their failings. It is a self perpetuating little mess that history will probably try and sweep under the carpet with a touch of embarrassment. The really sad part of it all? A lot of it is done by adults that are meant to be functioning members of society.
