Rep displays on posts

[Chris]

Well if people are interested in it then there's a chance someone will go out of their way to look into it, where as just leaving it won't get anything done.

Well if somebody with that capability comes forward then we'll let them have a go at it.

I know nothing about this but can it hurt to release it?

You post it and there's a possibility it might get done. Or you don't post it and there's absolutely no way it will get done.

See above.

You have to ask. People aren't just going to spontaneously think "Oh I wonder if Wispur has anything forum-related he'd like help coding". Ask around, post one of those things at the top of the forum that my brain has blocked out the word for, don't assume everyone will have read your posts on pages 6 - 7 in a Feedback thread one time.

@Empired;

It's actually a rule that you can't deal with anyone above your level. So for example, normal mods aren't allowed to deal with staff rule breaks, SMOD's are allowed to deal with managers etc. so in theory, nobody can really tell off Chris for breaking a rule even though I don't think he did.

I was actually thinking about the christmas rep thread earlier and I think it's like a day or two before Christmas

No, because before we even consider getting the system modified there will need to be a poll for the new feature. It's all very well that a handful of you have backed the feature, but that does not reflect the opinion of the entire forum. If the poll is yes THEN we start working on getting it done.

Oh never knew that but it's obvious now I think about it. Interesting. In the Help Desk you were allowed to warn anyone in the room except A/GMs. Most people liked to call HxHD Management/Seniors for help if a member of staff from another department was kicking off, but they were allowed to deal with it on their own as far as I know.

I find it interesting that you don't think it was breaking the rules. Do you think it would have been acceptable for me to post that response? And perhaps instead of to FlyingJesus, to someone different like Shonly or Laura? For example if I were to reply to your post here with "Oh shut up. I don't have to justify anything to you." instead of what I am actually responding with, would that be acceptable?

I wasn't suggesting you ask around to find someone straight away. I was assuming you would have realised I automatically thought you'd make a thread first

Well forum management can go ahead and make that when they're ready.

Why does there need to be a poll on things that just simply make sense? We didn't have one for updating the avatar file size limit, or the supposed changes to the news department, or introducing new skins, or changing the structure of General Management, et cetera et cetera. A suggested improvement with only bonuses and no valid criticisms surely ought to just be put in action where possible rather than constantly stalling and setting up obstacles

ps @Empired; he was attacking Scott not me

General Management and any other Manager on the site have often got responses like that without anything being done and they very rarely deserve it

This isn't even comparable to the things you mentioned. Just because you think it provides only bonuses and no valid criticisms, doesn't mean everybody else does.

[FlyingJesus]

Well anyone else would be wrong then considering there have been no valid criticisms thus far
