Designing a MMORPG Feedback System 86
Gamasutra is running one of their highly enjoyable 'soapbox' pieces, looking at possible ways you could implement a feedback or ranking system for Massively Multiplayer Online Game players. From the article: "When playing an MMORPG, I should be able to give a positive, neutral, or negative rating to anyone who has been in my group for more than thirty minutes. Negative ratings could be characterized via a multiple-choice list of common gripes (i.e. 'loot theft', 'abusive language', etc) -- a feature now built into the Xbox Live feedback system. However, it isn't clear that a good feedback system requires this level of depth; there's an argument to be made for simplifying the process as much as possible."

"Perfect, now hand over the Scimitar of the Wolf, or my whole guild will give you retaliatory feedback."

"Hi, Welcome to the Asshattery server, a GGI-positive shart of the Generiquest game. Since you're new here, here are a few rules:
"First, don't be a dick. You'd think that you would know that, but sometimes we have to explain things.
"Second, look for anyone with the <Uberguild> tag over their heads. These people are your gods. Not doing exactly what they say, be it leaving your current campsite, loaning them all the gold in your pockets without asking for repayment, or dancing naked on top of the nearest mailbox because they are bored, will lead to every single member of Uberguild filing a report against you on the GGI service. You will be instantly banned from this and any other game you may ever wish to play at any time in the future, with no hope of recourse.
"Third, don't even bother trying to complain to GGI about rule number 2. The person who handles complaints there just so happens to be the guildmaster of one of the guilds here. I'll let you guess which one.
"Fourth, of course, is to enjoy your stay."
