I know what i voted for.

Yes, we know that you don't attend many events and don't want people to know it.
I feel the 0 total events attended speaks for itself in this.

QUOTE

Looks stupid. Doesn't go with the the colours on these forums.

You could simply suggest new colors or better designs. Simply saying it 'looks stupid' doesn't mean anything.

I mean, to me, your signature looks stupid, but you don't see me complaining about it.

QUOTE

The colors aren't an issue.  It's the way the bar runs.  The red means you're inactive and that you have to get your ass to events.  The yellow means that you're decent.  The green means you're extremely active.

It's not meant for looks, it's meant to help leaders and shit determine who's active and who's not.

Thank you. You all *do* know that changing colors aren't that big of a deal, but, after having coded on the forums for aproximately
QUOTE
Seven hours
, and being up at Five AM, I wasn't going to do anything more. I could have simply left it not working at all, but I got it fully working, and THIS is the thanks I get? I understand now why Eugene left. I however don't believe in quitting when people get annoying, I believe in banning their noobish asses. </angry>

QUOTE
It's simple, "Event attendance: X amount" Because look George, 103 events attended, yet he's not in the green. Everyone is on the same colour.. Even those with 0 events.

Summary: You really don't need the colour gradient bar.

As Gorge said, it doesn't count TOTAL attendance - it reports basicly Average Weekly Attendance - If you haven't done much recently, it will show that. If you have worked hard, it will show that.

QUOTE

its not accurate ive been to more than 4 fucking events and it pisses me off.

I feel like everything I do in this clan no one cares about.

Cry me a river. I have been in this clan for over three years and four months, built a bot system from scratch, coded basically the entire theme on these forums, coded pretty much all of the addons we have here, and keep things running... What have *you* done?

QUOTE
I really like the concept as long as it doesn't get out of hand (people getting pushed around for low attendance marks, etc).

Well, I admit that may be a problem, however this should be easier than what Abs origionally wanted. With this system, you can attend a bunch of events one week, and your hard works "rolls over" into the next weeks, so if you attend a bunch of events all at once, you don't *have* to attend more the next week.

QUOTE

Dont like it. People are going to be singled out so easily and people still start calling them out and blah blah blah.

But if it works it works

Well, before you could just look at the list, and it wasn't all that accurate, so I feel that this should actually help prevent people being singled out.

QUOTE

It's not your say on whether it comes or goes, it was done to make taking attendance less work, and to help monitor activity.

Locked ~Rob

Actually, it is their say. They can talk about, complain about, or compliment any update, although it is up to Council to decide if the members are right. This is in the official WG rules, and you can't just lock it because people don't like it. This is a democracy, remember?


I have dimmed the colors a bit, but other than that, I figure its good enough as is. I may need to change the colors of the slider, but I need input on that.

I voted yes. I may not be the most active person in the clan, but I know I can and will come to enough events to at least stay in the yellow zone.

The way it's set up I think is excellent, which is how it doesn't track a cumulative total like the number above it but "a rolling average" as Robbie described it.

And I'm not worried about getting harassed by others. If anyone comes out and attacks me about not coming to enough events, I'll permanently ignore them on IRC and never really have to deal with them again.

Meh,
I'm split on wether I like it or not.

One reason I don't like it is because it lets geusts to our forums see something that should be for Clan Members only. I know, nothing really bad can come of a random person seeing it. But if you post on an intro topic and have 5 people in a row with low attendence they might get the wrong idea.

Secondly, again with geusts. It shows that WG may care a bit too much about attendence if we have everyones irght there next to their name. I know attendence is important, don't get more wrong. But it's not something that we need our members to expect.

On the other hand. It does make the attendence much easier to keep track of. But then again, updating a list every now and then seemed much easier then Robbie, and now everyone having to worry about this 'tracker'

And, something that a few others have already covered. Attendence of a person being judged and frowned upon.

Just my .02$

To be honest, Abs insisted I do this. He has been messaging me every week for like a month, trying to get me to do this. Yes, the nice colorful bar was MY idea, but the rest was what he wanted(actually, he wanted something a little bit worse, but we decided that this was better). If I didn't have the colorful bar, it would just be a number.

Also, you *do* know its easy enough to make it only display to a certain set of ranks... I can disallow guests from viewing it. I also should think about removing it for non-active ranks(emeritus and such)[note that for them, it already doesn't count down each week].

Sounds good to me. That'd cover most of those 'Geust' issues I was stating.
And I didn't know. But I geuss I do now.

Amazing job Robbie, you truly are a hero to WG even though some people obviously can't see that.
A great idea and it should help immensely with all the inactives. Great work, keep it up happy.gif

Lol.
Guys, I was finding out the exact time the Rolling Event Count gets deducted and I have no found out so I will now make the IA about this, we haven't actually started updating it yet.

Also, don't expect this system to be top notch on the dot lol. If you attended 4 Events it doesn't automatically update, we can't link Runescape to our Forums lol. It's the same as Tertiary Leaders editing your attendance on the topic, it's just a little easier for them to do as they now have +/- buttons, a fantastic idea by Robbie.

Also Nirvanas, please give some suggestions if you think the attendance bar is too bright, no we're not going to remove it, it doesn't matter about how it looks for now, we're trying to get members active and keep to our "1 Event a week"

Also, it's the same at the moment for everyone because no one has updated it yet lol, it'll get updates as soon as I announce the IA.
Robbie does a lot for us, try not to insult his work =)

Robert it was a great idea and the adjusted colors look much better. Keep up the good work <333. Know your talents are appreciated.

Thanks Robert.


Note: I hope if my bar goes red my friends would want to know and at least come talk to me. It is not always a bad thing.

Thank you Garrett and Dallar.
