Admin Rep Power

[Martin]

tbh I'm not bothered about general and forum management having it but people who just add vip features etc shouldn't have it

Not all of us

I agree really, not just because I don't get it but because I see little reason for it other than the added benefit of being able to rep people outside of the limit and more than once in a short space of time etc.

If you aren't gonna let the community agm do this (who is moreso involved with the community than some others), then I don't think it's entirely fair and not really needed anymore. As said, most of them have above the 20 rep power anyway.

Well you request the rep like the rest of the management, and it really wouldn't be much more help for you to have it since you're not the AGM of the forum.

I do agree not all admins need the rep, and to who said that I'd remove any -reps myself, I report it the same way you do and forward it to General Management

If that's the case what help is it to anyone at all? The AGM of the forum isn't going to need this added extra more than anyone else, when it's used it's either used as a prize or similar, there's not really much benefit that can be had from it. We could all just request it if we need additional rep as prizes, it doesn't really need to be a fixed thing, especially when most people have earnt the right to have more than 20 anyway.

No, i said it was done before, MAY still be done. I'm sure Oli done it tbh.

I don't understand why you've been going on for ages about not having the 20 rep power then if that's what you feel? Like I said anyway I agree it isn't really needed at the end of the day though Jin was the one that set it so I guess it's upto him to agree/disagree with it being removed or not :p

so once again the old "jin wanted it. he'll think on it" translated to modern day terms, it's not changing.

I think that if you are going to give one group of people it, then everyone within that group should be included. There is no difference between a features manager having it and the agm of the community having it, I just find it a little strange.

I do agree that it isn't needed, and I'm not fighting for it, moreso the principle behind the reasonings certain people do and others don't, because admins are not really gaining anything by having it when prizes etc can simply be requested via the request thread.

But I believe the reasons why Jin set the admin usergroup to have higher reputation was so the Admins could give out reputation to users who posted good suggestions, people who won forum competitions and also to welcome/encourage new users.

In my opinion, you can still +rep posts for those reasons even if you have your regular rep power anyway .

That's called the "Forum Administrators" group and that is done by a setting in the Vbulletin settings. It's not done by the actual "usergroup" settings. Plus you aren't in that group so that makes sense.

Well if you don't need to have Admin on the forum then you wouldn't be put into that group just for the sake of it? You've been here long enough to know that they don't give Admin out to people who don't need it and as far as I can honestly see I can't see anything to do with your job that would mean you need it. The features managers need Admin to be able to do their job, you organising things for the community does not mean you need admin on the forum just to have a 20 rep power.
