FriendsOfFlarum Gamification

datitisev

teletubbie I think it only accepts one.

teletubbie

datitisev Ok. Is it possible remove this limitation?

Mark73

Is it possible to reset the leaderboard every month? I have that idea of hosting a "user of the month" contest which will require resetting the leaderboard every month

Ralkage

Mark73 that would require nuking all of the upvotes and downvotes, which I assume, is what you’d like to have as an option? 🙂 It would be possible to implement.

Ralkage Why not add a timestamp to an upvote/downvote entry, and then enable filtering based on that? No nuking required, just a gambit.

EDIT: I actually don't want to nuke all the upvotes/downvotes, I want the points to remain all the time on users profiles but I want them to automatically reset on the rankings page on the 1st of each month so I can assign the user on the top of the leaderboard a "user of the month" badge by moving him to a separate group for a whole month! That's basically it, resetting the rankings page monthly. I would be glad to see this added to the extension in future updates!

wackyMole I hoped that this wasn't the only option 🙁

Hello @datitisev
Any user can upvote his/her own post and increase his/her points.
It will be fixed in the next release?

Kyrne

teletubbie that is the intended function of the extension. This extension mirrors Reddit's karma system which rewards users one point for making a post.

teletubbie

@datitisev It would be great earn points when the user has the "best answer".

Kyrne
Hello
If any user is able to reach the best score upvoting his/her own.
By the way, this is happening having disabled the "Auto upvote posts when posted" option.

Kyrne

teletubbie if users are able to get to the top of the leaderboard by just posting and getting their 1 upvote, you probably have a spam problem.

Please do know that users can like their own posts with Flarum Likes

teletubbie

Kyrne Hello I just see I can like on all my comments from https://discuss.flarum.org/
@datitisev the gamification extension shouldn't count those likes/upvotes/reactions as user points.

clarkwinkelmann

teletubbie gamification and likes are two different features, and we recommend to not use both:

FriendsOfFlarum Note: This extension is meant as a replacement for the Flarum Likes extension. Therefore, they are not compatible and it's recommended to disable the Likes extension.

I'm not sure whether you are actually using both, but I just want to make sure as you can't compare Discuss (which uses Likes) with another forum that uses Gamification, as those are two completely independent extensions.

teletubbie

clarkwinkelmann Sure, I didn't mean like but upvotes.
I only use gamification and upvotes.

Ralkage

Yalfoosh resetting would indicate starting at 0 again but @Mark73 wasn’t really detailing much of his requirements to understand how this feature request is supposed to behave like. I mean, filters could be added for different times of the year and possible a default filter could be chosen but that would take some time implement 🙂

teletubbie

@datitisev @clarkwinkelmann the gamification extension shouldn't count as points, the upvotes that the same user gives himself.

Yalfoosh

Ralkage I understand this. But you don't have to reset to actually... reset. The upvotes and downvotes are just numbers. It is convenient for us to show everything that is in the database, but ignoring everything before April 2020 isn't that different than deleting existing data on April 1st 2020 from the user's standpoint. In both cases you just change what you show.

But I agree, it's a bit more advanced and unsure if anyone would want to spend time developing it instead of just wiping (if you don't need the data).

robinodds

I agree with @teletubbie
An user shouldn't be able to vote his own posts; it would be like cheating to climb the rankings.

Why don't let the admin to choose to enable or not this option?
