Admin Rep Power

I don't think they should have a fixed amount. For example Brandon has the same rep power as me yet has been here almost 3 years more (+3rep power than i should have), has 3,000 more posts than me (+1 more power) and a LOT more rep pointsr than me which is 1 rep power per 400 rep points. Yet Cosmic (no offence! it's not only you but you're the most extreme example) only has a little less than 2,000 posts and yet the same as Brandon? I'm not that bothered about admins getting higher than they should, just think it's not really fair it's a fixed amount for those who deserved higher?


and i don't mean change it by increasing it...

I agree. I think they should have their own rep power as they are still members of the site and its in fact limiting some of them to extra rep powers which they deserve whilst others may have many, many more than they should. I feel that they shouldn't have a fixed amount but on the other hand I think that they should still not have to spread rep (the 7 day rule) as its normally given out by admins for thanks for ideas, positive gestures and so on more frequently.

I know what you mean and I think that maybe it is best that they have their actual rep power instead.

I agree with them not having to spread. They don't have to spread at the moment and I personally do not think that has to or should change.

Always said they shouldn't have a fixed amount - what I found funny was not long ago (when Immenseman got his friends to sign up and agree with whatever he said) it was 'this makes the new members feel small' 'this is making the new members uncomfortable' - so surely having admins with rep powers they haven't earnt is wrong - since big rep powers will surely scare newer members? :L

No but seriously, I don't really mind - they shouldn't imo, but it isn't really affecting me. Although I wasn't happy when I almost equaled them (think I had 14 points) then they made it 50 - then 20 lol

I don't see why they should be any different than us in regards to reputation, they should still earn it :)

Now you're almost equalling them at 20 :P.
I agree though, that is isn't really that much of an issue but I personally feel they should have their own.

I guess you could argue they do work their backsides off for Habbox.

Although, a better system might be to give them a certain amount of rep per month of being an Admin (or GM imo) - they would be a better way to do it, and will be a long term thanks, rather than them having something they might not even deserve. So a bit like mods get for posting?

tbh I'm not bothered about general and forum management having it but people who just add vip features etc shouldn't have it

Agreed with this thread, it also means they get to give out a higher number of - points when -repping people. They're members of the forum as is everyone else and should be treated exactly the same as us, who have to actually earn our rep. :rolleyes:

It's like :Jin: who has 25,000 posts exactly, I know he's the only one and he's the owner, but hell would have frozen over by the time he had even 10,000 posts, let alone 25,000.

@Marketing, what you on about? Either I'm not filled in on this or you're wrong but Mods don't get rep for posting? LOL

I think reputation should be earnt, not expected so I would have no problem with it being changed. I mean as the majority of admins' reputation is higher than the fixed amount anyway, it's not like they haven't earnt it!
