Would you like reputation to change?

[Yoshimitsui]

A lot of my reputation might have no comment but it was actually given for a post I helped somebody with or a good post I made. If you want to check then you'll have to go through every single post and then determine if it's rep worthy. A rep comment means nothing, I know sometimes I just put my name in a rep comment which would be seen as pointless but it's not because the user has helped me

I have some like that so they would be checked against posts as to what reason they have been issued any rep.

If you put it to 1500 posts as has been proposed then that's far too low. Like Neversoft said the other day, it's easy to get 100 posts a day if you wanted to and participated in all the active topics. However, if it's much higher then I guess it's not really a challenge. Even if people do post to increase their rep power then so what? As long as it aids discussion then it's fine. Hard one really.

@ yoshi - have fun going through every single user and clicking every single comment :-) will only take 6 months or so.

uh where's the:
"just keep it the same because it's fine as it is" option?

[Immenseman]

"i do not care" will suffice and suggest you don't feel a change is necessary, else you'd care and choose another option

I didn't put it in as I thought the No's would cover that.

Like: I do not care about reputation.

It wouldn't be every single user, it would have to be stereotyped and looked at in order of obvious abuse of the system along with other knowledge that is known surrounding the happenings of the system.

The thread that Jake posted about asking if people think it is too hard to become an astablished member on the forum brought up another topic.

Is reputation points far too hard to get?

Proposed changes agreed on by a few members have been:

1 rep point for:

1. 1 year on the forum
2. 2500 posts
3. 400 rep given to you

Currently it is something like 5000 posts for 1 rep point, and got knows how many rep you need given to you for one point.

Anyway would you like to see rep points given to you, more easily?

I think I agree with those three. 1 year - as I said, anniversary.
2500 posts will take a few months. Not too hard.
400 rep is hard to get but still its fair.

So not all members would be treated the same? Cool. Someone with 25 rep might have it all fairly yet they'd be looked at. However, someone with 3 could have got all of theirs pointlessly yet won't be examined. Nice fair way of going about it.

Can you propose a better way of doing it? Lets put it this way, most people on the forum will have some form of rep comments that are not really for doing anything in particular but because they have been repped for who they are. People are repped for all sorts of reasons and that is fair enough, however in the past there was a crew of people who repped one another constantly with the limit per day being low and the user spread count also being low. This caused the system to be destroyed in terms of fairness and spoilt it for others.

Someone who has issued a few comments here and there may be slightly pointless or for a laugh is not destroying the system, those who have gone around and issued rep after rep on purpose has abused it. Nothing is ever 100% accurate in life and 100% going to please every single person but pleasing the majority is.


At the end of the day, if you haven't abused it then no one really has anything to worry about have they?

Nope, I'm not even remotely concerned. I just believe it's a criminal waste of time for Administrators to do that when they're moaning about how busy they are (note your sig and a post you made last week). However, if you feel it's constructive then that's up to you, you're the admin

The group of people are the KKK who all repped each other, they're not going to kill you for saying it btw, lol. Like Jin said a few months back all changes have to make sure old members are happy because they are the spine of this site but ensure it's welcoming for new users. If you believe it's the best way to treat your old members and they're going to be happy with it then that's entirely up to you.
