Why is there a lack of respect for Mobafire?

Edit: Even with what you're suggesting, it would be impossible to even budge the rating of a guide with 1k+ votes, such as that Ezreal guide. You'd have to vote up a better guide and hope THAT doesn't get downvoted by the owner of the top guide and everyone who worships the top guide just because it's the top guide.

Vote decay? With every patch, decrease vote # by 50% and maintain the rating. No this is dumb

Hmm...

A while ago, I chimed in that votes should wipe or get re-weighted like elo with each season so authors have to actually update their guides when the game updates, but Mowen said this would be total chaos.

Problem is that with that idea, you'll get a site that should contain LoL Champion Guides, and doesn't have any.

I'm not opposed to vote decay.
I'd say that if a champ has a rework, all guides for that champion will have their percentage reset, and are auto-archived.
If there are only minor changes, like a small flat/scaling damage nerf/buff, nothing happens since it probably will not affect the builds.
For any other things either the community or the admins can decide what would be best.

And you'll somehow have to make scouts scout again, because currently that is the deadest forum to be found.

^ I was trying to get the scouts active again, but it was clear after the last guide I posted on the scout forums that no one actually wants to scout. :(

To be fair the editor/scout forums are too many clicks away for most people to give a **** about.

Isn't one of the problems that scouts have, that they are not elected to be, or have to apply, but instead just get it based on ranks? How about we 'elect' scouts.

I feel bad for you. You got scolded for not following "procedures" or using the "proper" thread or whatever.

This makes sense. People who post a lot naturally get rep, whereas members who may be just as qualified but don't post much aren't accumulating reputation despite the fact that they may deserve it more.

^ I think it is more like that people don't get the scout rank voluntarily (-> why do something when you didn't sign up for it yourself?). I am sure that there are people around here that would like to be scout (myself included) while not even getting close to the amount of reputation needed.

Basically, if there's enough people supporting the idea, I would like to set up a new scouting system (which I could like lead, if required) with a set of active people we can elect through nominations.

Believe me any suggestions you have about the scout system have probably been mentioned and dismissed at least 10 times before.

For instance, what system do you propose to fairly elect people?
