Why do admins nd 15 rep power?

[---MAD---]

Why should you guys have special rep in the first place?

Because admins volenteer a lot of time and deserve something back for all their time even if its something as small as a bigger avatar or more rep power. You could also say "why do they have a red name? why do they deserve it when I (ostinato) have to pay for my silver name!?"

All forums give their admins extras because they are spending they are spending the time working on the forum when instead they should be posting around as usual or be doing something else.

The default rep points used to be 10 but Baving changed it to 15 around a year ago.

I think it's kl that admins have high rep, it's kind of a reward for all the hard work you do. I remember when i first got made admin, I was like OMGZZ I GOT 10 REPSSS!!

Yes I agree in the hands of people like you it is fine and to be fair with someone like J1MI and other positive management who I don't think would use it as a power tool. However that's what it all comes down to I believe.

I believe quite simply that in some quarters it was felt that the 'power' and 'influence' had shifted from the management team to the forum in some respects and they didn't like it. Simple as that really. I think perhaps it should be reduced to 10 to show good will to all as it stands everyone has lost out except them. It might seem silly but there was a sense of achievement to get to 26 rep power and I know that Ostinato was higher mainly because of his enormous help to the members over the years. We are both here with the same accounts we joined with too.

I dont agree with it all

Yes, they volunteer out of their own choice - and don't make out as though you get nothing back for your time mad, personally I think payment from sierk is plenty. :rolleyes:

Even so, if you do deserve some sort of extra rep or whatever fair enough - you should be given so many extra reputation points. However, that doesn't explain why you guys should be left unaffected from this new reputation policy which the rest of us have to suffer?

I find it quite hypocritical that it is the admins who aren't affected by this even though you guys seem to be the only one in favour of it (as illustrated by the poll conducted with 4 out of 5 users against it).

If this was trully such a brilliant idea which you were so certain and sure of - maybe you should practise what you preach? Or would that be losing too much power - sorry rep power* - for you. :rolleyes:

Lets just turn it off and be done with it the rep has become more trouble than its worth so not worth having. ppl who would shout for refunds should read the T&Cs :8

Nail on the head - also I thought they suggested that it was being changed as some had pointless that wasn't earned. Well the admin isnt earned either although some did have high rep powers before. 10 would be fair to reflect that they could use it positively. At the end if the day though It doesn't matter how many rep power people have as to whether your respect rating is high and you have a very high respect rating on this forum Ostinato.

Lol exactly - at the end of the day they can try and kid on there mr pop'z wif there rep haha - but it's quite clear from the backlash that their just not.

Exactly jrh. Because you know yourself that it isn't fair how there seems to be double standards issues by certain people - which also just happen to be in favour of those individuals. :rolleyes: Don't get me wrong, I know a lot of admins won't even bother about rep or anything at all and jrh you are probably one of the only decent admins there is atm. However, I just cannot understand why mad and nvr who are so for this groundbreaking, absolutely fantasticly brilliant new policy - aren't willing to follow it themselves?!

What I really don't understand though - is why this new system is still being carried out? It's quite clear MAD isn't actually interested in what the users of this forum want. Maybe it's time he actually realised it is the people of the forum these changes are supposed to be for - and the fact that 4 out of 5 people voted against it and it still happened isn't very reassuring in my opinion. This is like Tony Blair all over again... haha

Volunteer - a person who performs a service willingly and without pay.

Volunteer's dont get anything back though, so your post is completely usless and stupid.
If you get something back, you are a STAFF.

[-Xiangu-]

he didn't lie. they don't get the reputation as pay. they get it as more of a "Thank You, you do this voluntarily so here have the rep"

your post is completely stupid and immature. please understand the things your saying before you say them next time thanks
