I propose hypothetically that a new feature be added to the HB to convert accounts into quasi-ideas. This feature would not only place a VOTE (bun/neut/bone) dialog at the head of each account description, it would also allow annotations to be registered beside the account. In addition maybe a "recent
accounts" category would be added to the "recent" and "overview" page to encourage users to view new accounts and review edited accounts. I do not know if this would be great, or gratuitous, but I am very curious about what others think of the idea.

more integrated into the stucture of the thing? [WcW, Oct 01 2009]

I don't care for it. Considering how many users don't even
bother to put anything into their profile, it would be a
tremendous waste. I'd rather judge a Halfbaker by the product
of his thoughts, not his views of himself. That's too egotistical, in
my humble opinion. |
|
| |
I don't think I'd like a definitive integer of how many people particularly
dislike me, thanks. |

This, as I understand it, is outside the stated remit of the halfbakery. |
|
| |
I seem to recall [jutta] making it reasonably clear this is neither a chatroom nor a democracy. |
|
| |
clarify that, a certain amount of "chatting" occurs in the annotations and there sure is plenty of voting going on. How would adding this feature affect the site dynamic? |
|
| |
It would allow me enter pejorative comments and dergoatory haiku aimed at a specific baker qua individual, rather than the same items in the context of a given idea. |
|
| |
The dergoatory haiku is a concept I am working on, combining haiku with insulting comments involving goats. |

// How would adding this feature affect the site dynamic? |
|

As has already been said, it would turn this more towards a social network. |
|
| |
You seem to argue that, since some of it is already happening, there's no problem with having more of it. I don't buy that - these things are a matter of degree. |
|
| |
Many main stream social networking sites have interest group mechanisms, and many such sites also have at least one interest group for halfbakers. There's nothing wrong with wanting to socialize online - look around and see if there's already something you could just sign up for. |

i wouldn't implement the idea, quite to the contrary. On the other hand this site relies on a social consensus, functional norms that allow the site to serve its purpose for users. If you extend the boundaries of the site itself you endanger these norms but I can't explain why. The interactions between users on external sites are just as "halfbakery" as the interactions on this site unless, point of fact, they are not. On the other hand the norms that are applied are not. I guess my question could be distilled to |
|
| |
"what rules and attitudes that are applied in the HB could be applied to other (conceptually different) forums, and what is it about the format and persistent users of the HB that makes it stable and allows it to provide value for users?" |
|
| |
could you rearrange those words to make some sense? |
|
| |
I think one rule is that ideas about off-color haiku and pinayas full of poop get deleted. I suppose in some way that adds value. |
|
| |
//what is it about the format and persistent users of the HB that makes it stable and allows it to provide value for users// |
|
| |
It's mostly about the ideas, and only enough about the people to feel that you're not surrounded by bots. |
|
| |
what about the way people behave on the HB makes it the useful service that it is. could this pattern or attitude be expanded if the site "grew" (not something I favor) or is it reliant on the current size/scope/structure of the site. |
|
| |
Didn't someone write a thesis on this very topic, about five or six years ago? |
|
| |
I think so. Talk about a halfbaked idea. |
