Why do admins nd 15 rep power?

[Ostinato]

Hiya.

To be honest I don't really care about the rep changes or anything that comes with it. However the only question I have regarding it - is why it doesn't affect the administrators rep power?

It seems to be different standards for different people for some reason... I see in the announcement you stated that it is the amount they get set for being an admin - eh fair enough but why does yours have to be set so high? You can quite easily just reduce the amount of rep the usergroup gets, so I don't really see why admins seem to be exempt from this new rule?

And it is besides the point whether or not you will only rep truly worthy posts- as if you rep them truly for being a good post it is irrelevant the reputation you have.

I just really don't see why admins need 15 rep power and are left unaffected from this whilst you slash the rest of our rep power?

Admins don't care about their rep, they're here to keep the forum running smoothly.

Why do admins even need a set limit, I think quite alot of the Smods exept Shane have low rep power / points anyways

[Carbrini]

I agree with this lad

Its unfair how admin gets more for not doing anything.

Thats the way admin are setup on all VB to start with but I know what you are saying. Put me at what rep power I should be I don't really care much for it.

Here is what ive been posting about.

Its the rep points and the comments I receive that work for me.
I don't care about how much power i have to rep another person as long as they get my comment then its all good.

I have been saying people should get their first rep power after 100 posts.
1 rep power every 6 months here.
No rep power for amount of posts to stop pointless posting
No rep power for rep received so giving or receiving rep just to gain more rep power would not work.
Yes if this happened I would not care if admin had to follow the same rules and have our +15 removed and put to what we should be at.

Those saying you have had your rep stolen I can assure you its still there if you check your rep amount its just the boundries for gaining rep power have been made bigger.

If people had not got rep with vip which seemed ok or even bought rep which i think was a rediculous idea to do in the first place then I would have sooner seen the back of it for good.

They originally had 10 rep power, then the high rep people got to 20 ish rep power and they raised it to 15.

I think administrators of the forum should get 10 rep power, unless what they've actually earned is higher than ten points.

Why is it vital they keep their 15 rep power then? If they cared about it so little they would also be affected by this along with every other forum member.

Fair enough they help run the forum, but they are already being paid by sierk for this so why should they have extra perks and be exempt from new forum policies whilst all of us are struck with them whether we agree or not?

If it is such a brilliant idea from the admins I don't understand why they are not willing to practice what they preach.
