Improved Endorsement Mechanism

[oc3]

I am wondering if it possible to make an addition that would improve the endorsement feature.

 

The idea is to have a button on the main page called " Endorsement Center" or something like that.

 

Then, when a logged in user presses that button they are taken to a list of the mods they have downloaded and are eligible to vote on.

 

Next, one simply presses an icon next to the file name to endorse it and leave a comment OR remove the mod from the list because you don't wish to endorse. Simple. No more trying to remember which mods you wanted to endorse and having to go back to the mods page to do so.

 

The benefit is that the button would be a constant reminder to endorse and the easy interface would encourage voting for mods that people feel deserve it. This will hopefully give a more accurate picture of the percentage of users that like the mod.

 

I believe many people don't endorse due to simple forgetfullness and time. I have seen many great mods with very few endorsements. (not that I am thinking of any of mine or anything) :whistling: I know this is true because I myself have endorsed very few mods and I use a lot that I think are fantastic. I just don't have time to find and visit each individual page to endorse them...that's if I can remember which ones I like.

 

Does anyone else like this idea?

Ever went to your Download history? That's the same thing you just suggeted, you go there and it shows all the mods you downloaded this month and a rating icon (a thumbs up) next to them so you can endorse them if you didn't, if you did you will have a green checkmark. If the endorsement timer is still running you'll have the time untill you can endorse the file displayed and if you buy premium membership you have all the mods you downloaded since you joined the site on that page.

Thanks! I never noticed that before.. It is indeed almost exactly the same as I described. the only differences are

1. The lack of ability to add a comment, which I think is important.

2. It would still help to have it accessed by a button on the main page instead of being embedded in a drop down list. To help act as a reminder.

 

Thanks again. This is still a HUGE improvement for me. Can't believe I never knew about it.
