VIP Rep System

[Save]

I did add it this time only.

I have hopefully brought more attention to that update and thank you for alerting that the update wasn't clear enough.

I will not be doing that in the future, as Adzeh said, you need to check up on the threads so you know what goes on.

Yes, We both learn something from this thread, Thanks

Just a bit of background on why it was implemented, we basically use it so that we know if the user is trying to con us. A certain member claimed about 1080 rep points worth after buying three months of VIP, by periodically posting. By limiting it to three days, first of all it prevents the time period in which they can "fraud" rep points, and usually for that three day period the VIP editor will remember adding the rep.

We will try to add it in a more visible place, but you should check the lounge

To stop frauds etc, why dont you just manually add rep when someone buys VIP? This way they dont have to request it every time, and therfore they cannot fraud you.

So if I buy VIP today, a vip manager will look at who has bought vip today and will add all their rep.

Or modifiy the vBulletin source code to automatically add the rep would be a much better way.

Not all members who buy VIP want the reputation points, so it will be unfair on those who don't want the points and they get them.

But the rep is part of VIP features, such as the name and arcade. It's just like saying you should request your coloured name as people might only want the arcade features.

There are a fair few who like to earn it! And don't want any that they havent earned!

Forcing members to take the rep points is like forcing people to have a HTML usertitle, not everybody wants it.

I myself am a VIP and I do not claim my reputation points simply because I do not care weather I have 10 rep points or 1000, I used to claim them but haven't in a year now.

Some people simply do not want all of the features they have and are happy with just the name, or the arcade.

Same here. Some people just don't want their VIP rep, for whatevers reason.
