Why do admins nd 15 rep power?

[Yoshimitsui]

You have to request it

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.

Lol no don't get me wrong - it's not as though I am like 'ALL DA ADMINS R STEALIN OUR REPS N R LIKE HAHAHAH I HAV DA GRETEST REP POWRZS'... I know a lot of the admins won't actually care about having the rep at all and I understand 15rep is what the vbulletin is set to or whatever... but I am also aware that the usergroup's reputation power can also be edited and therefore there isn't really any reason why you guys should just be exempt from having your rep power affected...

I'd say this is the most ridiculous thread I've ever seen but I couldn't say it in honesty with some of the stuff in here recently. However, as I said in the other thread:

That's a pretty minor issue really. On most forums the staff have higher rep than the rest, it isn't really a bother to anyone and they hardly give out rep anyway.

Kinda distracts from the whole point of this really, not needed.

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

I'm sure we had 15 when the forum was first set up saying that it has been a while and a few nights out since so wont argue lol 10 will do :p

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.

Maybe we will lose our rep power that has not been discussed yet. The main issue was alot of the members giving pointless rep not staff.

I have never been paid for any job on habbox and if I was offered which ive not been I would refuse.

what you do have to remember alot of admin would probably have had more rep power than their 15 under the old rep structure so maybe they should give us more to make up for our previous disadvantages yes that is a joke before ppl start crying.

Well if they have more then fair enough - let them have what they are entitled to.

But I have still to be shown why exactly the admins need this rep power, which they haven't actually earned in any way, which is so greater than other forum members? And why they are left unaffected from a new policy they enforce on the rest of us - even though they are really the only ones who agree with it anyway...

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

******** - THE ONLY REASON ADMIN'S BOUGHT THIS IS IS COZ THEY WANTED A HIGHER REP THAN EVERYONE ELSE.

******** IF YOU WAS OFFERED MONEY YOU WOULD GO MAD, AND TAKE IT BEFORE I COULD SAY STOP.

[jrh2002]

We would not have rep power above 15 now with the new system and to be honest I think that we should follow the same rep system as the other users.

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.

You seem very wound up by this decision, it doesn't really make a difference to you, you would still have one rep power (I think? :S) anyway. If you're that annoyed about it, leave? Easy.

I think he got a knock back from one of the admin and its made him a little bitter towards us all.

Everybody is in the same position with rep points its just their power that has gone down. I do think Admin having a set rep power should be looked at and will make a post in the staff forum.

I am just standing up for people who have worked for there rep.
