In your settings, we've now added:
Disable Scoring: Disallow scoring on my stories.
Comment on Score: A comment must be given when my stories are scored.
This means, that if you really don't want anyone to score your stories, they can't.
For those who are particularly interested in getting feedback (this may work against you), you can force members to comment on why they scored your story a particular way.
These are features several members have requested.
I recommend leaving your settings in the default state.
Interesting. Will this effect previously published stories or just future stories?
Funny you should ask that, I've just asked Gav the same question.
It should only be active for stories submitted from hereonin.
I've just heard back from Gav, and it will WIPE ALL YOUR SCORES across the board, so think carefully before you decide to go this route.
The scores are UNRECOVERABLE.
Its interesting to see the new scoring system. It is always hard to find a perfect one. In the Olympic Games they have the fairest scoring system where top scores and lowest score do not count I feel if the stories were rated from say 3-5 would be fairest as some people do not like other people for some reason or their theme and purposely score a 1. A few ones will bring down anyone's average. Just food for thought Nicola and Gav. I appreciate everything you do on this wonderful site.
Thanks Tracey, we try to please all of the people all of the time...
It's impossible.
The thin skinned people should now be happy, the people that demand a comment (even with a 5 score!) should be happy, and the rest should remain happy with what we consider the best option!
So this setting works retrospectively across all your stories. Your scores will be hidden and available again if you untick this option.
This does not affect commenting, which can be turned off with a different setting.
I'm one of the ones that thought votes of 3 or lower should require a comment. I'll have to think about the new options.
If the member deletes their story comment, a warning should pop up telling them their score will also be removed.
Authors can't remove individual comments on their stories. Or do you mean something else CG?
@CG
Thats a tough one, do we assume their initial comment is descriptive enough to validate their score? Lets suck it and see, worse case they have to enter two comments (and we give them the option to delete one).
I noticed that charmbrights scores are still available to see on his profile but not in the story itself. Is that a little bug that you can see it in the profile or is that how it is meant to be?
