Regarding the Reputation Issue

[Catzsy]

No lots of people rep properly but there are also lots who don't.
Personally I think everybody should have 1 rep point after 100 posts (including admin) then it goes up once every 6 months on the forum.
Nobody would get extra rep power for number of posts or reputation amount even though by the value of their rep we get some idea of their status instead of by the amount of green blocks they have.

Thats a very good idea indeed and I think most people agree with that. The green blocks would be the indicator rather then a number. Also those who kept a stable account a long time would get the credit for it. Happy New Year James xxx (not not kissing bottom) - known him for years.

I agree with the majority of your post, Mr. nvrspk4! I do believe that there is something management are missing out, though. It is indeed true that a lot of those complaining are annoyed that they have lost rep power, or they are annoyed with the fact that it's going to be harder for them to increase their rep power. However, another big issue that is arising now with this change, and the changes before is the fact that members were in no way consulted. I believe that members were considered, but when something like this is simply sprung upon them it is obvious they will feel angry that their opinions don't seem to count (even though you may be doing what is best for them).
I agree with the decisions to sort out reputation 100%, but I do think that the communication side of things on Habbox needs improvement. Every time something like this happens, and with the other examples you gave in your post, there is annoyance at the event but also at the communication in regards to the event. It looks as if you may be working on something similar to the council idea though, judging on the "there is something big coming in January" comment (although I can't be sure). One hopes that this will help resolve the communication issue once and for all.

i can't help thinking management must be doing something wrong if there is a huge batch of complaints every time a change is made.

I'm going to write a detailed response in my thread that you can get to through my sig shortly, so that (and yes, I'm being elitist/egotistical/whatever) my intelligent response doesn't get drowned out by idiots. What I am going to say just here, so that people see it, is that the idea in red is a bad idea. Any -rep can be reported as pointless and generally if you just scream "revenge rep!!!1" or "they just don't like me" it'll be deleted as such. Consequently, people would lose a lot of rep by -repping people for what may be genuine reasons.

Please people, have a brain and vote "no". Also if you succeed in getting a brain, stop with the ridiculous posting of hatred and let those who are better equipped for an argument handle it - otherwise you're just making it worse.

Tom, the link in your signature doesn't work.
I hope they didn't get rid of your thread, because atleast you used your brains when trying to confront them about the issue "/

As has been said, I think the high management have tried to tackle a problem that doesnt exist. This is further illustrated by the "rep wasnt pointless... now it is!" sig that Jordy has.

Unless I am being thicker than a whale omlette, I would have thought the management's problem with rep power couldve been solved with something nvr himself said, namely:

I believe it was possibly one of the biggest mistakes we have ever made adding the rep power to a person's postbit.

Surely removing that number from the postbit would eradicate the problem high management have with people simply gaining rep for the number in their postbit? Reducing the amount of rep power doesn't appear to have solved many, if any, problems. In fact, scanning over the whole rant again, that is the basic point of every paragraph. I doubt anyone would complain if it was removed.

I don't think people would enjoy the rep power being removed from post bits. As people like to see how much power they have.

However, as stressed before, the reason it was done as reputation is a small section of the forum. When you rep it shouldn't have a great impact on the persons reputation scores. Only a small effect, so you can't take off loads of points, or boost someones reputation quickly.

That is the reason for the rep power reduction. Not because we are trying to make new problems for ourselves.

How many times can we rep a day now. I have repped about 3 really good posts and wanted to rep a couple more - Jay and Jimi for swiftly helping me to retrieve my account a few minutes ago where they were extremely helpful. I managed to rep Jay but then I can't rep anymore for 24 hours?
Does that mean we can only rep 5 times a day?
