May 2012 Exam Results

No...that's it.
Optimistic, and the ratings (emoticons) disappear. No more reactions for you Aleks
So much for optimistic!

 

[Aleksander Hansen]

Apparently so.
But seems like we can select any one of these at a time.
How do I indicate that the article is Funny, Useful, Informative, Creative and that I like it !!!

Hm... That is a good question... Maybe program the site so that you can assign one "counted" category, but also allow for multiple tags, that are not counted, but serve only to inform and to enhance search.
Could be a great tool in finding the most important questions and answers and so forth. I rate it as "Creative"

 

[Hend Abuenein]

I'd take out "Dumb" though.
A bit judgmental, and impolite.

Beside, we all say dumb things at times.

 

[Jas]

You know what... youngsters these days are very fast on the "Enter" button. Before we know we are "Old"

 

[Aleksander Hansen]

I would hate to get lots of the "dumb" tags

True, most of the time I'm completely incoherent

 

[Aleksander Hansen]

...although there have been cases where I feel the "Dumb" tag is the best response...
Especially the random advertisement and self-promotion seen at times

 

[Jas]

How about a "Repeat" Tag for repeatedly asked questions.
Maybe these would be ones that everyone is troubled with. Or that we can find the answer to this by searching!

 

[Aleksander Hansen]

Ah... I see what's going on... There's a "Gold Star" category as well - net it's part of the forum activity push.. And only David and Suzanne can reward it.

 

[Hend Abuenein]

True, most of the time I'm completely incoherent

No you're not

I only start babbling dumb stuff when hour strikes 4 AM after some 6 hours of beating FRM. You're bound to become incoherent after that.

 

[Hend Abuenein]

I'd recommend a "not clear" tag.

 

[Jas]

Nah... don't agree !

True, most of the time I'm completely incoherent

 

[Jas]

I think this was supposed to be a "Post your results" thread.
How long before suzanne kicks us out

 

[Hend Abuenein]

I think she'll understand the mood we're in. It's not every day that you have the time and state of mind to chat about emoticons

 

[Aleksander Hansen]

Ha Ha.. I think the topic started getting "off-topic" about three pages before this...
Generally, when you see the page count approaching double digits the focus will tend to dissipate.
It looks like most of those who want to post have already posted.. More specific questions and so forth remaining at this stage.

 

[Aleksander Hansen]

That's true... it's a fun new tool [toy] for somewhat dorky/geeky people working long hours. Look at us getting all excited! The forum is already more active!

 

[Jas]

Well, my number of posts is going up !

 

[Jas]

Btw, have a look at the profile page. A full analysis is done on the "Post Ratings"

...and I don't agree that "disagree" is a negative rating!

 

[Hend Abuenein]

No...disagree could be a great thing, not negative at all. Good thought exchange comes from disagreeing.

 

[Aleksander Hansen]

Indeed, I believe it was Alfred Sloan who, during a board meeting when discussing some idea/product where everyone seemed to be in agreement, said that the company would not move forward until the board reconvened and someone could criticize it or present counter arguments.

As long as the discussion remains civil, and one respects both the other person as well as his or her opinion, and their right to that opinion, there is nothing wrong with disagreeing. Take both fiscal and monetary policy as examples;'amlotmodmdisagreement among economists, but it is by and large respectful (with the exception of the ad hominem attacks by Paul Krugmam, which should be below a Novel prize winner),
