Peer Score

Peer Score

Peer Score allows you to review your fellow players. Players who are running PS will be able to see this score on the player on mouseover behind the name.

Goal of this Addon

The game has seen a steadily growing number of uncaring, rude, mean, or simply bad players (unwilling to even learn). Peer Pressure is a means that may just stop these people from acting as if they are thabomb and by risking a bad review and risking no longer to be invited to raids on their realm they might just start behaving better.

Ideally Peer Score will become an indication of knowing what sort of person you’re inviting to your event, the way Gear Score has become the way to give an indication of the content this player has seen.

How it works

-          Every player starts with a score of 1000

•          You can ‘score’ 5 different players per day (it will take the server time and reset at midnight)
•           Scoring is done by right-clicking on a player portrait
•           You can then select the Peer Score node and click thumbs up, or thumbs down
•           You are not allowed to score fellow guildmembers
•           If you do not score 5 players that day, those turns are simply lost, not accumulated
•           One player can be scored a maximum of 5 times per day.
• 
  
•      At 1000 the number is white.
•      800 – 1000 yellow
•      600 – 800 orange 
•      Anything below 600 is red 
•      > 1001 is green

The Future

A number of safety checks have already been thought of in this addon to prevent dickheads from just downgrading decent players over and over. Because you can only score one player with one point per day, you would need a pretty big guild/friend group to decrease the score of a single player.

On the same though you cannot score guildies to prevent a guild voting a member back up when they have been rated down by other players.

This isn’t something that will get rid of bad players, but it might be something that will get some players to think again when they want to behave arrogantly.

And who knows…maybe in the future we can get reviews on people who have reached 0 and ideally ban their accounts completely if they do turn out to be part of the group that is making the game less fun to play for everybody. After all, even the fastest way to reach 0 would still take 200 days in a row with 5 times a thumbs down.

Credits where Credits should go. 
I've been confronted with a lot of horrible pugs lately and when I was complaining to a guildie about it he said he wished there was more peer control. By talking to him and running this stuff past him the idea got more shape.

Would you use an addon like this? Are there things missing still before you would use it? What are possible issues you see when something like this would be used?
