REPUTATION OR LIKE SYSTEM

[wixard]

Well actually she told me that graham had mentioned her so.. kinda failed again.

You're yet to quote the reasons it's better and yet again going on 'oh we've said why its better'..

If it's obvious it's never happening why am I wasting my time posting here when I could be playing games?!

/thread

don't really get how that failed again, graham posted like over an hour before me. she wasn't viewing the thread at the time of my post so it's obvious you told her because she posted straight after me? but ok yeah failed again

already told you, we've quoted them only a page or two back, you're the one too lazy to go back and find them, why should i do the work for you when it's already been easily laid out? finally i dunno why you're posting here to be honest, bit of a stupid move considering rep isn't changing as they've stated so multiple times in the past!!!!

[karter]

only the people with a high rep power are posting in this thread while the people with low rep power don't even give a ****...so...idk

I want like system with the amount of reps u have converted into likes, surely the amount of your posts that have been liked is more important than the amount of points you've been given seeing as power is unequal. just seems like people want rep because they get lots of power n points even if they haven't actually had that much individual likes so rep system isn't really fair. yes with likes u can just like all ur friends posts but u can do that with rep already, at least with like it'll be more obvious if they're doing it to get their friends likes up (which would be pointless as it goes up 1 point at a time) soz if this doesn't make sense im still drunk, I think both system have their flaws but likes is obviously fairer as not one person has more power over another

but appaz only 13 of us or so want that so doubt it'll happen, just think like system is more modern and fair

o n another point about rep being unfair is fact it's changed so much times that someone could get 50 points from me then if my rep gets lowered to 20 or so then they only get 20 next time, makes it unfair for new members because some people here have been getting 50 in the past but they can only get 20.. So would be harder for them TO CAtch up..

Power isn't meant to be equal, someone who's been here for 8 years and posted constructively/positively for those years should have more power/points to give than someone who's been here 2 months with 100 posts..

You can't infinitely rep with the current system as you have a wait period and a rep other user period (unless that's changed), you have to wait a week and rep 10-20 other people before you can rep the same person again. So at very least you're waiting the cooldown period (1 week?) so you can give what 51 rep in a week, with the like system you can give that in a day..

With rep no one person has 'power' over another, they have different rep power yes but not one person has the max power and no-one else near..



I don't get your last point, if someones rep is 50 then the system changes to reduce it to 20 they now get 20? Well obviously it's not going to go through every rep given and reduce the points.. but yeah the rep power isn't an issue, it's easier for people to gain rep points now than it was before due to rep inflation if you wish to name it that, before we were getting what 5-15 points per rep, now you're getting 20-70? It's a lot easier to get points now than it was previously, so stating that as a flaw with the current system as users have a hard time catching up is just utter crap.

People are capable of reading the forums without being instructed to, I've never mentioned the forum to her, as you can see from her post she noticed it and told me lol only reason I came on the forum to reply..

Okay then why am I wasting my time if it's definitely not changing then, back to TTT.

i posted after graham, you were already viewing the thread by the time i had posted
jen was not, i'm not saying anything about grahams post i'm saying about MY post
clearly two different posts at two different times, no idea why you're talking about his post?

and why are you repeating the same question, you already asked that in your last post and i answered
i don't know why you're wasting your time, so yes go back to your games.

also it's rude to refer to another person actively participating in the discussion as 'she' or 'her'!!!!! especially if SHE is your girlfriend. she might not mind but you should probably take that into consideration in the future when interacting with others.

because you can't seem to grasp that people see new posts. I've never went to jen and said you said something on the forum lol.

I shall do.

but your rep points and power isn't an indication of how constructively you've posted because you can give your friends rep for no reason, not for constructive posts. people say they've earned rep when i know ive given them like 400 or so of their points just because i wanted to comment something to them which may not even be relevant to that post or even the forum... i rep people to comment on a post they've written instead of posting because id be off topic so rly im giving them rep for nothing.

I don't believe people should have power to show they're well liked or whatever because it's not always the case, plus your like meter will show how popular your posts are? n let's be honest, the amount of power you get for your time here and posts you've made isn't that much. rep power isn't fair, just coz ive got lots of rep points doesn't mean ive got more likeable posts than a person with smaller rep points, they might have more individual reps than i do, it's just that they've been given rep by people with less power than me. plus the fact u have to spread means they might miss out getting rep because someone needs to spread n thus they get less rep than they deserve.

also funny how ppl are constantly complaining about the rep system, how -reps get removed, the system gets abused, u can't -rep ur full points etc but once your rep power and points are in jeopardy everyone is keen to save the rep system lol.

And ur point with the spreading to rep, isn't that a negative? shouldn't u be allowed to like any post u want rather than wait a week to rep pne post even tho u want to rep many posts? ive tried to rep graham twice because I liked two posts but I can't cause I already repped him last week n then ill only be able to rep one post so with like system ud get all the posts u want liked and would be better for everyone because it'd be better indication of how much people like your posts.

and my last point was that, right now say i gave someone 2 rep a month so 100 rep a month, I could get them up 500 points in 5 month. But if my rep was then scaled down to 20, 2 reps a month would be 60 so they'd get 320 despite the fact before that they'd get 500. A new member would only get my 320 whereas those before the rep scaled down would have a higher advantage because they were getting 50 points at a time from me... SO therefore it'd be unfair on new members. I don't like points and rep power tbh, I think we should be equal and have an indicator as to how often our posts are liked but that's just me. Obviously it's not gonna change but I'm giving my opinion,

[Kardan]

you kardan and fj are the only ones actually posting, i don't think others would mind if it got converted to a like system which would benefit EVERYONE.

also gets rid of negative rep which is more than often only used maliciously or when your gf tells you to do it

Looking at the poll suggests otherwise.

Looking at the poll suggests otherwise.

Because most people probably aren't looking at pros and cons and just want to keep their rep power n look like they're more amazing popular than they really are

Well, if that's why they are voting then so be it... Just because their reasons aren't as good doesn't mean their vote is worthless
