Why We’re Upgrading Our Points System

[Johnny_Bit]

@jetpad

It looks like the current system is the same as the old system at this point. Only difference is they tell you less information about why you got the points than before, it only reports the points once a day and probably remove some points that their AI checking feels were earned fraudulently.

So it’s worse Waaaay worse. Less information = bad.
Also - how would one know whether the points were throttled by AI? Any way for an honest creator to avoid “false positive” or say “hey, i think I’ve got less points than I should and I know I haven’t cheated”?

@jetpad

BUT as they’ve said, they’ll start turning up the dial so that the other factors (Originality, Complexity, Presentation and Recognition) affect the points we get more as they collect data on us and our models.

Or turning the dial down and saying “nah” to everyone, like in that “fun” ai auto-rejecting all applicants ('Lazy and Mediocre' HR Team Fired After Manager's Own CV Gets Auto-Rejected in Seconds, Exposing System Failure | IBTimes UK)

@jetpad

we can maybe reverse engineer a little bit of what they are looking for.

Or maybe not. It’s too vague and too opaque. And that… Well, that reminds me of The Gulag Archipelago and in it the description of Soviet law and it’s arbitrary application.

I, however, am of the opinion that are men are created equal and so are all models, so a “ultimate filament clip” designed in 5 mins of cad deserves same amount of points for 10 download as perfectly sculpted and tested over the months ultra intricate mechanism that was also downloaded 10 times… (Obviously as long as those downloads aren’t fraudulent etc)

I think I’ve said similar thing when they were messing around boosts where they said you’ll get less boosts for boosting ‘bad’ models without clearly stating which models are ‘bad’. They could simply remove “boost” button from ‘bad’ model and clarify to creator why the model isn’t boost-worthy.
