That full time whiteboy Chirs has got 40 rep power how the hell it's not as though anyone actually likes him so he can't have 3200 rep more than me without having bought it although he does claim VIP rep which I don't so that's prob like 2k of it

I would be all for the 2000 posts thing :) I agree that people used to rep a lot more back in the day so i'm going to personally try to give out more.

I like the new rep given per post feature too!

EDIT: Maybe they could introduce rep power for amount of rep handed out too? But it would have to be a high amount so that people didn't abuse the system :\ Not sure if its a good idea or not.
EDIT2: Actually come to think of it that would make it easier for people with high rep power to get even more rep power... ha.

Might also cause pointless repping too.

i think 2500 posts would be much better, 4000 is just far too high.

i also like the idea of gaining rep power for referrals, it will (hopefully) solve two problems in one, with bringing more people to the forum, and solving the rep power issue.

maybe 25-45 referrals per rep power?
idk

something needs to happen anyway.

The only quibble I have with it is how long it takes to be able to +rep the same person again. I remember why it was tightened up but it is a bit too severe, I feel.

That was improved a lot not long ago, as I recall.

EDIT: According to the FAQ it's 30, which still seems very high actually...

Probably does look a bit high at 4000. Might actually be ideal to lower it to around 2500-3000 region at least, but nothing lower.

@BioHazard Yeah it does. :P

I think 2500 posts is a good ammount. I don't think rep should be sold though lol seems a bit pointless.

Is it you that would have to make the decision to change it or is there someone even higher in power that would have the ultimate decision? Just a little confused here because I thought Oli was the manager. Unless he is just the manager of the forum and you are the manager of everything to do with Habbox if that makes sense?

Yes selling rep would seem pretty pointless, it should also be earned and not bought in my opinion.

Matt is the General Manager, Oli is the Forum Manager :)

I agree that 4000 posts is probably a bit too high, definitely nothing less than 2500 if it does get changed.

2500 seems great! Is it likely that this will happen?

Yeah, 2500 seems to be the right number to change it to, and it's certainly not too low.

Hellooooooooooo!

4000 is insanely high to be honest, I'm in agreement with Matt that it shouldn't be lower than 2500, infact I'd personally have it at 3000 because we don't want people with insanely high rep powers again, but I may be willing to compromise at 2750 ;)

100% agreed with this. 2500 sounds like a far better number to stick on.

Oh you just can't joke in feedback anymore :'( I was only taking the piss!!! 2500 is fine although if it does seem to cause silly rep powers for those with silly posts it will be changed to 3000.

It's all good. 2500 doesn't look like it would have that big effect. :)

I never quite understand why users think that lowering requirements changes anything? All it means is EVERYONE has more. So in actual fact all you are doing is making the numbers higher?
22-08-2010, 12:01 PM
N!ck

The reason strict rules were put into place was because there was a group of people repeatedly repping each other (think it was like 200 points per rep power) and having like 40+ rep poser meaning they were going up a rep point every 2 days or so. That's how some people have many thousands of rep.

I agree on lowering the post count one though.

This, lol! It's like in football, say Manchester United are tenth in the league and the fans are having a moan. They all get a petition together to make a win equal ten points, thinking they'll catch up to those at the top. What they fail to realise is those at the top will also gain ten points per win, meaning the gap in points between the top and Manchester United in tenth place will neither see a increase or decrease.

yeah but its the feeling of accomplishment. When u get like 150 rep, thats a lot, but does it show? no. But when u're regularly getting more rep power, it feels like you're actually getting somewhere and will obviously make you like the system more = a bigger use of it. Obviously there's people who abuse it but aint talkin bout that.

Higher rep powers around = more rep given out on average = easier for newer/lower people to get more rep power = even more rep given out on average = more active rep system because people might actually care about it again

That's my point, what's seen as 'big' now will be seen as small as the ones with big rep will just get bigger.

No its fine, making it easier to get points is stupid, people who have like 20+rep worked hard to get what they have.

Trust me, a ridiculous amount of people bought rep - I was the one who added it :P I know who you're thinking of though but that's because he spent several hundred pounds on it...

As far as the requirements, to provide a bit of backstory, we ruined the rep system early on tbf. We allowed it to be bought, let the rep powers rise up and rep became a pretty serious problem in terms of pointless repping, repping to raise power, and using the rep as a bullying tool. So everything was tightened up to try and fix this and solve the rep system. The reason the post requirement was also so high was to rein in the people with rep powers around 50 that could give someone new rep power within a few days. (COUGHNEVERSOFTCOUGH)

But now that the problem is mostly gone it makes sense to bring post counts down a little (my suggestion is 3k but I guess I'd be outvoted). I'd highly oppose lowering the rep requirement though because if it's too low it becomes a cycle, more rep to get more rep power, it'll cause the same abuses in the system. Good job to the Forum Management teams over the years on keeping committed to reducing the rep problem, now its more valued for giving approval of a good post than obsession with the numbers.

WHAT? A few HUNDRED? Lool.

I know it has been changed, but I think the rep system is kind of pointless. IMO it is more about if someone likes you they might rep the post. If someone hates you they will -rep it just because they can (and try ad pick a flaw obviously).

But then again, it does get used correctly a lot of the time soo

I remember the bullying episode quite well and the amount of pointless repping was rediculous. It seems fine now except for how many times you have to +rep before you can rep a person again. It is a fact of life that some members consistently make better quality posts than others.

This is a bigger problem than the OP imo and should be sorted first. Too many times have I gone to rep someone in the past only to find out I repped them in an equally good post a day before or whatever.
