The reputation system - paused.

[jackass]

Okay, I know we have only just had this huge argument not that long ago, I don't want it changed back to the way it used to be, thats not what i'm about to ask, so don't start making posts flaming me about that.

Since the reputation system changed, I don't think anyone has gone up or down in rep power, the explanation why is simple. Before, you had enough rep power to eventually bring people up to the next stage (Jewel in the rough etc.). But now, as the rep power has gone down to on average about 3, and the points to get to 'legendary status' is now 5000, that means about 1666 people must rep you (and thats not including people with under 3 rep power, and over I guess). I doubt many people at all will get repped by 1666 people. The people that are legendary now already had enough rep points from before the system changed. So basicly, it has paused, and won't be moving up or down for a long time.

Another issue is the ways to recieve reputation. To recieve 1 rep power, its per 5000 posts, 600 reputation points & 730 days registered to the forum. Firstly, 5000 posts!? I've been registered on the forum for almost 3 years, and I only have just over 3000, let alone 5000, and how many people on this forum do you know that have 5000 posts or above, not many really (excluding REDNECK obviously...). 730 days, thats 2 years. Most people leave after 1 year, let alone 2 years. And okay 600 reputation points, thats achievable I guess.

So yeah, ask this question to yourself... how many times have you been repped since this system was introduced?

[Criminal]

It's fine as it is, it's only rep. It doesn't make you feel powerful for having a big rep power :eusa_whis

[kk.]

yeh but the rep looks tupid lol.

600 rep is a lot tbh. thats a rough average of 200 people. i doubt ive even done that lol.

[Orangeesh]

It's fine as it is, it's only rep. It doesn't make you feel powerful for having a big rep power :eusa_whis

True it is only rep.
but theres no point having rep on this forum if we cant move up or down.

I think posts should be moved to 3000 per 1 rep power
rep points to 400 per 1 rep power
and every 365 days again.

[jackass]

I personally would say...
1000 posts.
500 rep points.
1 year.

[Criminal]

I don't get it?

[kk.]

I personally would say...
1000 posts.
400 rep points.
1 year.

what was it before?

but tbh, rednecks rep would go up to like 30 points again, lol

[dirrty]

i dont get y it was changed in the first place?
i dont reli rep ppl now, only when i post a thread saying +rep as its kinda pointless tbh. ive probably repped around 5/6 ppl since the new systems been introduced?

[Danny$]

just get over it

[kk.]

it was changed because lots of people were above 15 lol.
nah it was because it was getting out of hand but now its just useless so hange it lol

[jackass]

Yeah, exactly!

I've repped like 2/3 people since.

[FlyingJesus]

His wasn't that high before - post count wasn't the most effective way of getting rep powers and he didn't have a massive amount of rep given

I personally don't rep much because it's not worth anything and I don't feel I'm really helping them by doing so

[Falcon]

Rep doesn't really bother me, it's only images & text.
& i've received a few reps.. most are neutral anyway.

[Jamesy]

I haven't been repped.

But I turned mine off because it feels more free.

[The Professor]

Agreed. I was sparing with it before, but now I give it out even less.

[@xP]

I dn't rep people as much anymore. It's pointless tbh. It was fine the way it was. Theres no points trying to get management to change it back because they won't listen.

[le harry]

I only seem to use it for help now, which I guess is one of the proper reasons to use it.

[benjamin]

i have been repped like 5 times since the change ahah

and at whoever said it got changed coz too many people had over 15, no it was because people had over 50 lmao

but i think it should go back to the 2.5k posts, and 1 year, but just make it every 500 points for a power/block or whatever, higher than what it was and just about achievable.

[Energizer]

i've only got about 3 -reps + 1 +rep since the change lol. i ain't repped no1 in months.

[jackass]

Thanks everyone for replying.

Hopefully we can get it changed at least slightly. :)

Indeed, but the changes they did were just a little too extreme. What would of been wise (I think Catszy did a lecture on this) was to keep the reps per day limit, or have enforce it so that you can only rep 10 times per day and make it tougher to gain rep through posts. Also making it so that you can't rep the same person for, like a week would of been good too.

[FlyingJesus]

If they were trying to cap it they did a good job, but I personally didn't see rising rep powers as a problem... maybe because I was among the high ones lol but still. I used to go up a rep power a week and sometimes faster even; I don't think I've gone up at all since the change.

[jesus]

I agree to some extent. As people are saying 'it's only reputation' so why did the admins bother changing it in the first place? Nobody agreed with it. I'll live, however.

As GommeInc said, that changes WERE too extreme.

[-Xiangu-]

I don't see why a maximum rep was just put on, would have been easier

[Catzsy]

Well we have discussed the topic on the Council and just await a decsion really :D

[jackass]

So it might actually happen? :)

[Catzsy]

So it might actually happen? :)

Well its either going to be a yes or a no :D

[Neil]

I don't really see a reason for the change, gaining 1 rep power for each year you're a member was quit good, I can see why the post one was increased but to 5k is just insane, and 600 rep for 1 rep power? Hardly anyone even reps people now so it's almost impossible to get an increase of rep power, I liked the idea that for every year I was using habbox I would get more power with my reputation and now I don't? And this really doesn't solve anything because people can still buy rep can't they? So they could just buy alot of it and it takes less effort than earning it

[Kardan]

You have a very good point ad I agree.

Only 81 members have 5,000+ posts... So getting another 5,000 just for another rep point is stupid, same for the 2 years.

Every 2,500 posts, 1 year and 500 rep points seems fair to me :)

[Asher]

How is having a high rep advantageous anyway? I don't understand.

[Kardan]

How is having a high rep advantageous anyway? I don't understand.

Because you can give +50Rep to your friend, they'll have like +49 and will give it back to you... Making the rep system suddenly explode, you can compare it to the global population I guess...

where does it say that? :O

members list then sort by post count lol

oh aye yeah, thanks haha :).

Thanks very much. :)

I would say the same, but every 1000 posts, instead of 2500. :8

[Kardan]

Nah, 1000 is too much (+19Rep to Redneck already :rolleyes:)

[Slowpoke]

Nah, 1000 is too much (+19Rep to Redneck already :rolleyes:)

I agree. I can post 500 in a week so that would mean I would be getting a rep point once a fortnight (that's 26 points a year and that's 50+ in two years). 2500 sounds fair but at the end of the day, it's up to management.

[jackass]

Nah, 1000 is too much (+19Rep to Redneck already :rolleyes:)

Yeah but for everyone else its not enough.

I only have 3000 posts and i've been on the forum for almost 3 years!

Nope, they stopped selling it, which is a good idea. Selling rep was one of the worst ideas :P

[Slowpoke]

Not really. It helped keep the forum open when Habbox were low on funds so it wasn't all bad.

[GommeInc]

Not really. It helped keep the forum open when Habbox were low on funds so it wasn't all bad.
There were more cons to it than pros, which has been proven with this uprising on the rep system. Besides, selling VIP cost enough to keep the forum running, unless Habbox are getting rediculously ripped off?

Hopefully the Management (Elkaa/MAD) will come to a conclusion soon about this. The council finished this discussion ages ago!

[jackass]

Okay, i've waited a week and still neither Mad or Elkaa has replied...

Any news?

[Slowpoke]

No, I think we're keeping the current system for the foreseeable future unless a member of Habbox management states otherwise and by the looks of it, that isn't going to happen anytime soon.

[jackass]

Do the management enjoy going against what the whole forum wants or something?

[GhostFace-]

I personally would say...
1000 posts.
500 rep points.
1 year.

i agree.

[GommeInc]

Yup, you've been a member for 2 and a bit years and you've not noticed?! :P

[Neversoft]

So yeah, ask this question to yourself... how many times have you been repped since this system was introduced?

About 40.

Just leave it as it is, it's fine.

[jackass]

@Neversoft, yeah but your cooler that us, so you don't count. :(


Yup, you've been a member for 2 and a bit years and you've not noticed?! :P

I guess i'm blind. ;)

1000 posts is too little, I think redneck has 20,000 posts?

2,500 posts was fine tbh.

200 rep per 1 was too little..
500 sounds good enough

and yeh 1 year per 1 is fine.

every 365 days
every 400 rep points
every 2500 posts

you can rep 10 people per day and you must rep 30 people before you can rep the same person again

that's my opinion :).

[Firehorse]

I think it should be put back to whatever it was before they made that change. It actually worked properly then. Now it's much harder to go up and then you can't really make a difference to anyone elses rep level any more because of it. My friend went down 3 rep levels when this change was made.

[Danny$]

The reputation system is much better now! I love it!

[Firehorse]

The reputation system is much better now! I love it!

you weren't even here before the change?

[Orangeesh]

Yes I was.

Yes I was.
its danny he got banned on his other account ;]

[Firehorse]

its danny he got banned on his other account ;]

oh right. I'd hate it if that happened to me. all those posts and vip payed for. There should be a feature which you could buy. Get yourself unbanned for £2 or something. Nobody likes losing their account and there isn't really any point in banning them if they're gonna make a new account.

I thought Danny was now -ss-?

yes, wow omg did you know orange spells gullable backwards?
i'm really confused now. Isn't -ss- a super moderator?

[Shrlurp]

I agree with most comments,

The requierments should be lower I.E - 1000 posts/400 rep/1 year on the forum.

I also agree with the facts rep is pointless however a few changes would make it noone pointless.

[jackass]

Think about it though, its EASY to get 500 rep points, but incredibly hard to get 2500 posts. So i'm reverting back to 1000.

[Orangeesh]

1000 is too low..

you can get 1000 in 2 weeks if u wanted too.

redneck has 20k posts?

20 rep power just from posts is too much

the lowest I would go to is 2k posts

I still think 2500 is suitable

Redneck is the only person even near to 20k posts, so stop using him as an example.

I have been registered for 2 and a half years, posting almost every day and I only have 3000, so thats 1 rep power. Yet I have almost 4000 rep points. Rep is easier to get than posts.

[Danny$]

Stop crying and moaning over it you weirdo

Edited by REDNECK (Forum Super Moderator): Please do not be rude.

[jackass]

Stop crying and moaning over it you weirdo

No .

[Orangeesh]

Orignally the posts were at 2500, and some people had like 50 rep power
I dont see how you need to decrease posts.

just increase rep points.
Originally it was 200 per 1 rep power
400/500 is about right

[Recursion]

Me :) But I would still like the OLD rep system back.

[today]

it seems fine for me and honestly i dont care really as it works for me either way.

[Shawnstra]

I haven't got any rep for slightly less than a month, oh well. I think habbox should make less posts and points to get a certain amount of power, not as much as before this whole rep update though.

[jackass]

You don't seem to understand.

People had like 50 rep power because of the POINTS not the POSTS. :rolleyes:

[-:Undertaker:-]

No matter what we say, no matter how we say it and no matter how many times we say it they will simply refuse to change it because they think they are right and we are wrong.

[jackass]

I'm still waiting for management to reply!
