Tofugu Comments: The Best Site News Post Ever: January 22

  • Tofugu_Erin · 1 year ago
    And the Login tab has made a surprise reappearance.
  • koichi · 1 year ago
    yeah, i realized people will still comment on older posts, which do not have this new comment system. I'll ween it away eventually.

    Well first off, I love the new commenting system, even though I had already registered with that Gravatar thing earlier today, but I forgive you (lol). I already added your Facebook account, but I held off on the Twitter thing, only because I was lazy to read what that site had to offer. I'll probably check it out later. Although the store may be free, I'll probably donate to maybe help you put up more content for your sites. Nice update Koichi, now give me a once over with your Shinai to calm me down, because I'm just too excited having my own avatar.

    Very cool. Disqus might take a second or two to get used to, but it looks very nice, I think. Also, I would love to see some actual Tofugu merchandise in our Shop!

    It's worth mentioning the comments are now sortable into four different options: Oldest, Newest, Best, Hot.

    Also you can subscribe to the comments of a particular article through RSS.

    I didn't notice these options before. They are sort of cool.
  • koichi · 1 year ago
    I think so. I hope it helps with the conversations and such.
    As for merchandise...I'd rather do free stuff :) It's cheaper for people.

    How pretty!

    I didn't know you could do that sort of thing with facebook, but I joined. And myspace is for whores...but I'm willing to dumb myself down and have an account for a couple of friends who refuse other sites.

    I'll have to check twitter out...I'm not really sure how it would work. I mean I know you just explained but I obviously need a dictionary for things. (It's just prolly cause I've never even heard of it.)

    pffft, iphone.

    What's with the points? Do they count the times we comment?
  • Viet · 1 year ago
    Points are an indicator of how many people approve of your comment. Each comment starts off with 1 point. Anyone that is registered is free to give or take points to comments posted. Usually you'll give points to someone if you find their post funny, informative, etc. Inversely, if someone is being an idiot or a troll, then you are encourage to take away a point from their comment.

    The points you get from your peers is then summed up and listed on your profile. This is an indicator of your overall reputation.

    You can give or take points by clicking on the up/down arrows to the left of the commenter's profile picture. Up assigns +1 point, down assigns -1 point. Fairly simple.

    We encourage that people use this feature with some restraint. Assigning points freely defeats the purpose of having the system.

    Also, comments can also be organized by "Hot" or "Best", which is dependent on the point system.
  • Viet · 1 year ago
    Oops. My post gave the impression you are free to assign multiple points to one comment. This is not the case. You are free to assign one point or take away a point per comment.
  • nanci · 1 year ago
    fo shiz, yo. Interesting feature, I'll register...later today.

    Thanks for the explanation!
  • mmnessa · 1 year ago
    あれ? free stuff?
    Nothing is for free! I'm sure they'll write something about payback in the next post!
    JK!
    Well, look at that, tofugu is EXPANDING, even though I don't have facebook, I think it's good for you guys. Love the new comment system.
  • Moka · 1 year ago
