It started off as a standard feature for admins and if its been raised or not over the years then so what because its never been an issue as far as I am aware. Now that the boundries for gaining rep have been moved it probably has become more of an issue so worth us looking at.

It has been an issue before and the need for admins to have 15 rep has been raised many times. However I normally couldn't really care - but in this instance I just don't see why it is different standards for different people, especially those who introduced the rule...

I'm glad you agree it needs reviewing and that admins should also follow it.

That's 2 admins agreeing with me and the other users that they too should be affected... It'll be interesting to hear from a few certain others :rolleyes:

They haven't lost any reputation, no points have been deducted. If you used to have say, 20 rep power and now say you only have 10, it makes no difference, because the whole forum has gone down in rep power equally, so you still have a high rep power, just in a lower number. If you understand? Even though it doesn't apple to you.

No one's lost rep, so quit this "OMG OMG OMG WE WANT REP THE ADMINS ARE ******S" hard boy act, and just leave it. It doesn't make a difference to you. If you have any problems with reputation go join another forum.

Erm no actually - the whole forum has not gone down equally. The normal members have, but for some reason the admins have been left exempt.

Just because he is expressing his opinion saying that he disagrees with it does not mean it's a hard man act - fair enough if you disagree with his opinion but I found your view upon the whole "hard man" crap a bit irrelevant to be honest and don't really understand where you concluded it from.

If you don't agree with his opinion then fair enough, but theres no need to act like a little girl over it. Try your own words - if you have such a big deal with another forum member and/or their opinion go find another forum.

I'm not being a little girl, I just think he is ranting all over the forum about it, using caps lock, and I think it's unnecessary.

Also when I said the whole forum, I mean every regular member. Sorry if it didn't seem clear at the time.

Well good for you - thats your personal opinion but you seem to forget he is eqwually entitled to his and his every right to express it in the way he wishes (as long as it is acceptable).

Well in my opinion admins are 'regular members'. They just have a red name. They aren't like some sort of celebrity... they help keep the forum running and I am grateful to them for their hard work - but it seems its often forgot that it's actually the "regular members" these people are supposed to be working for...

I asked mad that in a private message and he ignored half my points. Mad said we have strict rules on rep power as people were getting stupid amounts of rep power. If he doesnt care when why did he set admins to 15? It used to be 10. He obviously cares about rep powers.

Yeah i've not read every post in this thread so forgive me for that. But I think if we lowered it to 10 rep power I wouldn't mind at all.

Admins shouldnt have a fixed rep power. They need to earn it like we do. MAD added rep to his account when he became admin, how sad. Because 2 days after he became admin, his rep block increased by like 4.

Edited by ---MAD--- (General Manager): Please do not accuse me of things when you have no proof. I have never altered my repution points.

Exactly. He knows fine well he has no reasonable explanation as to why admins actually need this amount of reputation and why they should be immune from such a change that affects the rest of the forum - especially considering they are the flipping only ones who wanted the change in the first place!

Oh are you sure 10 is enough for you JIMI? I'm sure you wouldn't mind having 10 rep that you didn't actually earn :rolleyes: Why should you guys have special rep in the first place? You don't have any purpose for it as you don't use it for any administration purposes...

Explain to me still JIMI why the rest of us should be affected by this but you guys are left with your great big 15 rep. :rolleyes:

The default rep points used to be 10 but Baving changed it to 15 around a year ago.

I think it's kl that admins have high rep, it's kind of a reward for all the hard work you do. I remember when i first got made admin, I was like OMGZZ I GOT 10 REPSSS!!
